My city just ended our pilot Flock program. I hope others do the same.

But I think the real issue with Flock will be private security. Random Home Depot parking lots, etc.

The local credit union in Eugene had installed Flock cams at the entrances to all their branches. They took em down after only a few of our community members began protests out front a few branches and emailing with the CU's leadership before our city terminated our contract and removed the cams

If someone would like to engage in grassroots activism on this, may I suggest the perfect domain: getTheFlockOutOfMyCity.com

My town in Colorado just did the same. Pretty happy with the result.
