⁉️ WHY: Costa Mesa contracts with Flock to blanket the city with always-on Flock mass surveillance license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. These devices don’t just capture license plates; they track our daily movements and store them, to be searched on demand without reasonable suspicion or warrants. This is a massive invasion of privacy and a waste of taxpayer funds. These cameras arguably violate our 4th Amendment rights against unwarranted searches and seizures. We have seen that policies are not enough to protect our communities. These databases have been routinely abused and misused. In spite of laws like SB34, California law enforcement agencies have been found sharing with agencies like ICE and DHS over and over again.
