- Contact your city council member and voice your concerns with these types of cameras in our communities.
When contacting them, here are some things you can keep in mind:
• Legal Violations California Senate Bill 34 explicitly prohibits sharing ALPR data with federal agencies. Flock Safety has violated this law in multiple California cities including Mountain View, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Richmond.
• Security Vulnerabilities: Investigators found Flock doesn’t require multi-factor authentication and at least 35 customer account passwords were stolen by hackers. Rancho Cordova residents’ location data is at risk.
• Lack of Transparency: Flock refuses to let outside security audits.
• Immigrant Community Impact: When federal immigration agencies can access location data in violation of California law, sanctuary city protections become meaningless.
• Other Cities Are Acting: Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, Oakland, Woodburn, Olympia, and others have canceled or suspended Flock contracts. Rancho Cordova should join them.
Not sure what to say? See our scripts page for some ideas. - Consider placing road/yard signs in your area. If applicable, put a sign under a camera to bring awareness. Most drivers do not understand how these systems work.
- Attend your local Council Meetings and let them know you do not want this intrusion.
- Talk about this invasion of privacy with family and friends. The more we talk about it, the more eyes will be on this movement to remove these types of cameras from our area.
- Join the movement, get involved.
