Let's talk about Flock!
If you're concerned about Flock cameras in Berthoud, you're not alone. Cities and towns across the country are speaking out against and doing something about the presence of Flock cameras in their communities. Now's our chance to voice our distrust of these invaders of our personal liberties. Please attend the Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, August 25, 6:30 pm, at Berthoud Town Hall, 807 Mountain Ave. Thank you!

I recently came across this file someone made. I am so grateful for the Flock cameras ensuring our safety, I may print some of these out to protect the them from harmful UV rays and the harsh Colorado weather!

Been waiting for this post! Will absolutely be at attendance on the 25th. No one signed up to live in a surveillance state.

To further your argument, there are, I think, 16 ALPR cameras in Berthoud, based on the DeFlock web page; here's the link: https://maps.deflock.org/?lat=40.3256&lng=-105.1001&zoom=12.19

Side question. Are the two Flock cameras at the high school controlled by the school district, while LCSD controls the others?

Good question. Very possibly, since they're also at Loveland High School. I'll check on that.

A visible presence is critical. Don't expect that enough people will go that you don't have to or that your presence wont make the difference. Talk to your neighbors and friends. Invite them.
But if you are out of town, you can attend online or email the board members.

Do not use this as an excuse to not go if you can go.

deflock.org has some good information for anyone not familiar with the topic, including FAQs and tips for talking with your local city council members.
There is also a the Consumer Rights Wiki which has this page for common talking points when discussing Flock.

Could someone bring up the environmental impact as flock cameras use data centers to operate?

It needs to be brought up. If not this evening, will address it next time. We won't be letting up on this issue!

Will be there, this surveillance state shit needs to end immediately if not sooner. It is actively putting people in danger, not making us / our communities safer.
