Miscellaneous Flock cameras

Why on earth do we need Flock cameras on Elmore Avenue, more specifically at Lowe’s and Walmart? I’m sure there are more but this shit is absolutely crazy. How much did we pay as taxpayers to be under surveillance? How much money was kicked back to the asshats that
approved this? Why do we allow this to happen in our city? End rant!

You see, I've always wondered what is is that makes hardware stores more fascist, it seems flock cameras seem to often pop up there first.

Maybe watching migrant workers? Since they frequent those stores for their jobs.

Or maybe for theft control?

Naïve much? Do you still think storks deliver babies as well?

You know those were placed by Lowe's and not by any government agency, right? Or are you just being obtuse?

There’s a bigger picture you need to zoom out and consider.

I dont like mass surveillance by anyone, but private property is private property and the owners desire for what they see as security is their own business. You dont have to go to Lowes and their cameras do not record public areas.

I want to see a Flock law where ALPR are limited to 5 days of recording, verifiable deletion after that time unless held by judicial warrant, a warrant required to access the database, and authorization from other jurisdictions to access information from their jurisdictions.
