Thanks for the list. We should be pushing to get AI under the control of regional districts or cities. Not only our own, but support this movement anywhere in the country. There are positive things to AI but it can easily be abused and only local leaders and their constituents should make that decision.

From: smkuehn@PROTECTED via Sean Nestor: If you don't know: Flock is a privately-owned surveillance company contracting with public entities all over the country to collect and store information about our movement in a nationwide database, regardless of whether or not we have committed a crime or are suspected of committing a crime. Public entities that contract with Flock are discovering what many of us already knew: this technology poses an existential threat to the idea of privacy, and quite simply should not exist. The City of Dayton, for example, recently suspended use of their Flock cameras after discovering serious violations of Flock's promised privacy protections. The City of Toledo currently contracts with Flock to maintain over 100 cameras throughout Toledo, and Toledo City Council may vote as early as June 9 to renew their contract with Flock for two more years. We need to use our power to demand that our government respect our privacy and end the use of Flock cameras. To really help, please send an email to our council members before Tuesday, June 9, and share this graphic far and wide. If you're interested in coordinating ongoing opposition to public surveillance, please respond to this email letting me know.Here are the emails of Toledo City Council; I recommend sending one email and copying all of them: john.hobbs@PROTECTEDadam.martinez@PROTECTEDtheresa.gadus@PROTECTEDvanice.williams@PROTECTEDsam.melden@PROTECTEDtheresa.morris@PROTECTEDmac.driscoll@PROTECTEDbrittany.jones@PROTECTEDnick.komives@PROTECTEDerin.kramer@PROTECTEDcerssandra.mcpherson@PROTECTEDgeorge.sarantou@PROTECTEDFor more information about Flock cameras, see this article in the Toledo Free Press or this article in Fortune Magazine <image.png> | |
