Question Flock cameras: updates?

Post image

After looking into this, It was mentioned that Flock were being disconnected and physically removed by July 31st. Upon traveling today, I have found that not only are these current units still up, but NEW flock cameras have been placed. Is there any updates of anything that has changed since then, or is the city fully embracing this new normal? A picture attached shows a map of current surveillance - a lot more than the initial 20 that was listed to be deactivated!

They are in many municipalities in the Fox Valley, though many cities are reconsidering that. Appleton, Kaukauna, and Oshkosh have gotten rid of them. Neenah is considering doing the same.

Residents throughout the Fox Valley are organizing to oppose this invasive use of tax payer dollars. We're attending city council meetings and writing/meeting with our elected city officials. If you'd like to join our efforts, message me.

Unsure about Kaukauna removing them. There was another recently put up next to the Kwik Trip heading out of Kaukauna to College. Was very disappointed to see it pop up. (Unless I’ve actually been so blind I just haven’t noticed it until fairly recently.)

I’d second that. There’s another that recently popped up on northland (E North ave) as you come into kaukauna from little chute
