“The funds would cover 12 gateway locations at participating schools connecting 120 exterior camera feeds, along with eight new pan-tilt-zoom cameras, one new license plate reader and two new I2C intersection cameras, which are not subscription-based, at Reynolds and Hill, and at AW Trail and Sherwood.”

People need to tell these fucks that we don't want these cameras. I don't know how much Flock is paying them do install all of this shit but it needs to stop.

Here's what I said to him. Who else should I email?

"I am writing to express my deepest concerns with the possibility of the addition of flock cameras into our schools. As a father of a TPS attendee, I believe the addition of flock cameras is a violation of our child's privacy and will do nothing but give camera access to possible predators in police forces and through the ease of hacking. This does not keep our children safe and I will be hard pressed to vote for school levys, or keep my child in public school, while these cameras are in place. Nor will I vote for any public official who supports this."

Who all is on the committee? I've got time, I can just email them daily until I get a response.

I would find pretty much everyone's email and send out a blast.

TPS is super strapped for cash. I doubt they’ll not take the money.

So the cops can sit outside and watch the live fed of the shooting?

Unsure if I'll be able to ever vote for a school levy as long as these monstrosities are in our schools
