They put them up because they are afraid of being liable for crime. You must convince them they have liability for data breaches and they will be socially shammed for being tyrant scum.

I'd suggest a motion to include an independent third party cybersecurity audit of the company as part of the terms of agreement. If the audit determines that the company is not adequately protecting consumer data (if it's Flock, they aren't), then no deal. Flock has a very "trust me bro" stance on t...

Reading the comments on Nostr vs Xitter is so eye opening. Nostriches are just built different. 💪

AI cameras? What could possibly go wrong.

I'd ask them which part of German history they want to repeat. Nazis were a great inspiration of how to use lists to deal with people you don't like in your town Stasi was neighbourhood watch on steroids before people even invented it If Germans have figured it out a century ago why can't we have...

Pigs love them because it makes it easy for them to stalk their crush. Funny that person on twitter said if they are on public land what’s the issue? The fact they are on public land is exactly what the issue is. If you want to put them up on your own private property go ahead but don’t start ...

I think it's a great idea. And hey, while we're at it, maybe the city can implement a program of spontaneously sending police to check on families with young kids to make sure the kids aren't playing with sharp objects

Mention how in Britain it's become a sport to destroy the very expensive cameras, and in your community most men can blow the head off of a squirrel from 100 yards with a scope and a 22.

Today I received a ‘warning’ in the mail from a traffic cam. Surveillance scumbags.

Ask the questions! - how much did they cost - who has access to the data - who proposed them - what does "success" for their deployment look like - and for whom?

You’re a poplar guy, Run for office. 🍻 If you aren’t willing to run for office, you will be ruled by your lessors. I paraphrased, but Plato wrote that 2500 years ago.

Bring the cameras with you. 😉

These cameras are going up as a result of corruption. There's stuff on YouTube about it - I'd look for that and come armed with receipts.

Unfortunately they will use it without a warrant (spying) monitoring/tracking the public, I honestly don't know what you can do, and more countries will follow👀, it's a worldwide phenomenon

Go speak at the podium. "Good evening, Council. I want to commend you on your commitment to public safety... truly inspiring. The proposed AI surveillance initiative for our neighborhoods is a bold step toward keeping everyone secure. That said, I can’t help but feel it doesn’t go quite far en...

⚠️ God has said in the Quran: 🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )}  

Just tea bag the cameras. Sorry, I mean, potato sack them in your case.

You want it shut down asap

Seen this running around. Give it a try. Here’s a template to file foia/pra in your city: To the Custodian of Records: Pursuant to the (your state here) Public Records Act (your state's public records act code.), I request access to and copies of the following public records relating to the (...

Go there with those blue latex gloves, and tell them on your turn that they will be subject to full cavity searches, if they have nothing to hide they should be perfectly fine with it right? As they should be under public scrutiny and safety since they have nothing to hide..

If you want something from the councillors, start to rub shoulders with them. Sadly the only way, which is ineffective, which is why we bitcoin

this conversation has been happening in my (small, rural) town also, and i've been considering the same... good ideas in this thread. let us know if you do it. you're inspiring me now

It’s bad incentives (inflationary SOV) that drive such behavior and only good incentives (hard money) will help to build a high trust, non-zero sum society. I don’t think those hoping to benefit from such surveillance architecture expect most of us to be around to enjoy the positive-sum world t...
