The message:
The North Kingstown Town Council is expected to discuss the Town's continued use of Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras at a meeting on Monday, August 17. This meeting is your opportunity to tell the Council what you think of Flock Safety cameras!
Our privacy concerns: Flock Safety cameras can capture much more information than just license plates, and the police department can opt into sharing that data with federal agencies and other police departments across the country, creating a vast network of surveillance technology.
For example, Flock Safety camera data from local police nationwide has been shared with ICE to find and target people, used to track protesters, and even used by police in Texas to find a woman who was suspected of having an abortion.
Regardless of what the police say their intentions are in using the system, there are no state laws protecting our privacy rights, our data, or government transparency in the usage of Flock Safety cameras.
That's why it's important to speak out against this surveillance system. Fill out this form to contact the North Kingstown Town Council before their next meeting on Monday, and urge them to cancel their contract with Flock Safety.
You can learn more about Flock Safety in Rhode Island on our website.
