I had thought about creating a larger roadside banner with the faces (pulled from voters guide) of the city council members who approved Flock, along with the face of the Sheriff with something along the lines of "These people want to know where your wife and daughter are at all times - deflock.me" and place it right next to the Flock camera.
Gotta tag some political organization on the banner which makes it illegal to remove.
I wonder if it’s legal to modify the images to look more sinister. Otherwise, someone passing by might not read the text, making it free advertising for council/sherrif.
Feels like a dishonest approach, to be honest.
The issue is, a lot of people wouldn’t mind the sheriff knowing where their wife and daughter are at all times. What if one of them gets kidnapped? It would be good if law enforcement could track them. That’s the logic some people have …
It's not illogical to say that more cameras would lead to more arrests of kidnappers, and other violent criminals.
I don't think many of us would object to video surveillance actually doing that. So, it's not even an immoral thought to many of us.
The problem is LE using it for almost any other purpose whatsoever.
This would be a potential point of conversation if the research didn't show that more ALPRs doesn't lead to reduced crime or more arrests - except in the very narrow slice of automotive theft.
