Former ICE and CBP leaders who have now left the agency told the FT that previous safeguards are gone, with ICE pursuing aggressive quotas by using data from Social Security, the IRS, and commercial surveillance and license plate reader companies.

For 2 weeks this year, unauthorized outside agencies searched SD's Flock license plate data. Flock messed up the settings. SDPD first hid the breach, then admitted it months later but still redacts the reasons for the 12,914 unauthorized searches.

Council vote Tue! Act now: trst.fyi/stop-flock-e

"Ending the Flock contract is more than a policy choice. It is a declaration that San Diego values privacy, dignity and community trust."

"End the Flock contract now. We must use the millions of dollars used in the installation and implementation of this dangerous technology to fund proven solutions to public safety like affordable housing access to medical care, food security, child care"

“Stop placing wealth and profit over the privacy of our lives...of friends and our families and our members. End the use of ALPRs, end the relationship with this company, end the relationship w/these oppressive businesses...Get the Flock Out”

"Nobody should be OK w/the gestapo police state that is being formed right now in this country. [Flock] is about forming a mass surveillance network so that the hostile federal government can take over everything, and we are paying the price for it"

"Flock's pattern of behavior and the pattern of abuse of its technology makes it impossible for me to trust them or for me to tell San Diegans they should trust Flock with information about their every move."

"We feel betrayed b/c the police are supposed to provide safety for our community, but by using this tech they are only causing more pain and suffering to our people, not only for the migrant families kidnapped by ICE terrorists, but to the entire community"

Leaders and community spoke truth at our press conference this week.

"The SD police officer that led this initiative, that led bringing this technology to the city of SD, is now an employee of Flock. There is something extremely wrong with how this was done."
Councilmember Henry Foster

Flock centrally stores ALPR data and is subject to court orders. It said so to the San Diego City Council Public Safety Committee. Source: Meeting archives

Voice and Viewpoint reviews why "In the Shadow of ICE, Trust in San Diego Policing Tools Continues to Crumble." This is a powerful review of why San Diego neighborhoods and unions do not trust automated license plate readers and are calling for #alpr to be shut down in #sandiego.
