WE SAY NO AI-POWERED SURVEILLANCE IN OUR COMMUNITY!
Olympia’s police department has installed 16+ AI-powered surveillance cameras from the Flock Safety company that track our every movement and share our data with groups like ICE without discretion.
We can shut them down!
SURVEILLANCE IS NOT SAFETY
Why do we not want Flock in Olympia?
Your Movements Are Tracked
Flock tracks, stores, and creates patterns of everyone’s movements without warrant, suspicion or consent.
Data is Misused
Your data is saved and shared with hundreds of organizations, including ICE without any regulation or oversight.
Prone to Error
ALPRs have been known to have a wide margin for error in up to 10% of cases. These errors disproportionately affect communities of color.
Wastes money
There is no proof that Flock assists cops solve crimes that would otherwise go unsolved, while at the same time costing taxpayers thousands of dollars that could go towards social programs that are proven to benefit communities.
Chills Free Speech
Constant surveillance changes the decisions we make and the ways we live our lives.
WE CAN STOP IT!
Many communities have campaigned through varying means and gotten Flock cameras taken down and turned off! It can be done!
