Definitely go and lose your shit over it

You could suggest that they be allowed, as long as the streams are open for everyone to view on the internets.

Don't come off as a crazy radical or emotional, make well articulated, logical arguments against it

Zero crime… SO FAR! Just wait for all the juicy shit the cameras are gonna uncover!

1) shout incoherently 2) take off your pants and shit in your hands 3) throw it at the city council members that'll get your point across.

Advocate to put one where nobody wants one, your rationale being that it will stop crime. Advocate to put one outside the police station, to keep the police safe of course. Put one outside a public restroom as to deter any vandals.

Destroy the cameras while everyone is at the meeting.

“Why should I trust the government to be involved in this, for the rest of my life and probably my kid’s lifetime?” “If this system is secure, let’s put your name, SSN, home address, birthday, home address and banking information in that database”

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...

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

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
