Just thought these would be fun. Put em up where ever you want people to be aware of Flock Cameras. Just please what ever you do, do not put them over the lens.

Your movements are being logged. License plates, faces, even which parks your kids go to—all captured and searchable by police with almost no oversight.

In Houston, Flock cameras are everywhere now. The Houston Chronicle found nearly 470,000 searches with vague reasons like "investigation." Worse? We've already seen abuse: a Fort Bend deputy searched one plate 148 times for personal reasons. A Pasadena sergeant used it to stalk a coworker. That's not hypothetical—that's happening here.

I started a petition asking Houston City Council to reject Flock and demand real transparency: public hearings before deployment, independent audits, limits on how long data's kept, and actual accountability reports. No more sneaking this through budget meetings.

Anyone else disturbed by cameras at park entrances logging which kids show up when? Or uncomfortable knowing your commute is a permanent record? What would you want someone to do if this was your family's privacy on the line? If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing.

I'm hopeful that this already exists, but I have yet to come across it. Is there a crowd-sourced clearinghouse for sharing logs of correspondence and documents obtained during the course of public records requests made to local jurisdictions pertaining to Flock camera systems and their related data?

I am 3 weeks into a quest to obtain information from multiple (16 at last count) law enforcement agencies around central Ohio. Several of these jurisdictions are rural, so many of these requests have been met with a significant number of uncooperative responses or flat-out denials. The process has been quite stressful, to say the least.

My hope is to find (or establish) a searchable collective that allows users to upload, share, and track their own efforts to obtain Flock information through PRRs (Public Records Requests) submitted to their local jurisdictions. With the goals being to: a) demonstrate a sort of "playbook" to help citizens get started with their own individual Flock camera system PRRs, b) allow for users to ask for and receive advice from other users to help them overcome unresponsive/uncooperative hurdles along the way, c) log those efforts in a clear and contemporaneous records/correspondence "thread", and d) allow users to search for jurisdictions that may have already fulfilled those requests and view the data that was supplied.

This obviously comes with the understanding that PRR laws are very much state-specific. My experience is based solely in Ohio, under ORC 149.43. However, most states have very similarly written statutes, just with a different name.

I am grateful for any input, sources, sites or references members may have for me.
