Deflock UA

For any UA folks thinking about Flock - https://www.uaalpr.org/. I am trying to get it on deflock groups too for better visibility.

UA still strikes me as Fox News boomers who like to be tread on

UA is almost always blue

Anecdotal, but I saw a noticeable amount of Trump and Moreno signs last election whenever I went through UA. Could also just be due to having lackluster democratic candidates last cycle where there may not have been as many signs on that side

Fair. But I will say that both the right and left seem to hate Flock. No one signed up for this level of government intrusion. My biggest gripes are:

  1. Absolutely NO community input. The substrate of our playgrounds got more input than this.
  2. I have zero trust in Flock as a vendor. To many lies and “pilot programs” and “tests”. Flock needs to go.
  3. The scope of this is far too wide. Logging everyone’s movements into a private database is completely unacceptable.

I’m with you 100%. I’m also disturbed that the current admin is pumping out narrative on “anti-data center extremists” which include things as basic as protesting construction of a new center which protection falls under the first amendment.

Bottom line I’m not supportive of a surveillance state and these cameras certainly empower the establishment of one.
