PETITION TITLE:
Remove Flock and Similar Mass Surveillance Cameras from Anderson and Throughout Shasta County
PETITION TARGET:
The Anderson City Council & Shasta County Leaders
PETITION BODY:
We, the undersigned residents, request the removal of Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, as well as any similar automated tracking technology or mass surveillance systems, from our public streets. While we fully support local law enforcement, we oppose continuous third-party tracking, which logs the movements of innocent citizens without our consent and without individualized suspicion.
Impact on Everyday Travel:
You shouldn't have your daily routine logged just for driving to work, dropping your kids off at school, or going to the grocery store. This technology turns everyday errands into automated tracking opportunities, treating law-abiding residents like suspects on their regular commutes.
Key concerns include:
Warrantless Mass Tracking: Continuous logging of vehicle movements by private or automated checkpoint networks.
Data Privacy & Risks: Private corporate data storage with security vulnerabilities and risk of unauthorized sharing.
Erosion of Trust: Turning public roads into automated checkpoints that monitor the general population.
Anderson is our starting point for a broader county-wide movement to protect personal liberties from invasive tech.
OUR DEMANDS:
Halt expansion or contract renewals with Flock Safety, or any provider of similar automated mass surveillance tech.
Remove all existing Flock cameras and related tracking equipment from public property.
Delete all historically collected resident location data from these databases.
Please sign and join us to protect our constitutional rights and privacy!
