Link Resource Database
Links to reliable sources (news articles, research, and analysis) for informed opposition to dragnet mass
surveillance.
This database focuses on
facts and reporting rather than opinion or philosophy. The more reliable, the better. We're looking for things
that can be presented to elected officials and other decision-makers as independent, reliable sources that
they should take seriously.

"To ensure that the system is being utilized properly, the department said it will review license plate reader searches daily and "suspend access for any immigration-related search that is identified, to confirm the Flock feature banning searches related to immigration matters is working as expected.""
Notes: Worth noting that Flock has already made it impossible for officers to accidentally identify their network-searches as immigration-related. But this will enable them to report that the thing that can't be entered doesn't show up anymore. Problem solved?Copies at:

🔗 Leaked city attorney memo shows Berkeley risks potential million-dollar lawsuits if council renews Flock contract CA
Berkeley
"The City Attorney's Office proposed additional amendments to the Flock contract to comply with Berkeley's sanctuary city protections. Flock sent the city amendments overriding the city attorneys' changes and enabling Flock to share data with third parties without the city's consent. According to the memo, city attorneys are unsure if Flock intentionally or accidentally undercut Berkeley's sanctuary city protections, but declare "either possibility is troubling.""
Notes: Berkeley's city attorneys did an excellent job identifying and outlining the legal risks associated with using Flock as well as documenting how Flock's promises and contract language don't really ameliorate those risks, using practical real-world examples as evidence.
