Why a #Flock Worker Quit: ‘They Lied’
Jonathan Paz was initially nervous when he started working at the #surveillance company Flock. It was his first tech job. But he was interested in the company’s mission. Flock’s cameras, which constantly scan the license plate of every vehicle driving past, were for finding missing people. Staff at the company were able to solve real issues.
In his job as a government affairs manager a couple of years ago, Paz represented Flock in public hearings, with the goal of getting a city to purchase Flock #cameras. These sorts of hearings are happening on a near constant basis all across the country, as cities and towns participate in a national conversation about whether they want Flock cameras in their community or not.

‘DO NOT MENTION #ALPR USAGE’: How #Cops Are Trying to Hide Their Use of #Flock
When cops use Flock to arrest someone in #WapelloCounty , #Iowa , they don’t want them to know. A usage policy for the automated license plate reader #cameras in the county tells police, in no uncertain terms, to keep them a secret: “DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE,” the policy document reads. “DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE IN YOUR REPORT OR COMPLAINT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.”
The police guidance document is unusual in how clearly it tells police not to mention their Flock use, but it also highlights several important things in the Flock debate. While Flock likes to say that it is a #transparent #surveillance company and that it cares about “accountability” and “governance,” some of its customers believe its use should be kept secret.

Inside the growing #vigilante #movement to knock out #Flock #surveillance #cameras
source: theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…
Surveillance #technology is becoming more common in modern #society. Many governments use cameras and digital systems to improve public safety and help #police solve #crimes. Supporters believe these technologies make communities safer and allow officers to respond more quickly to criminal activities.
However, many people are worried about #privacy. Surveillance systems can collect large amounts of personal data, including information about where people travel and how they move through public spaces. Critics argue that innocent citizens should not be monitored without a clear reason or a legal warrant.
Some activists protest against these systems through political campaigns, while others choose direct action by disabling surveillance cameras. This has started a wider debate about the balance between #security and #freedom. The #discussion also raises important ethical questions about #government #power, personal privacy, and the role of technology in #everyday #life. Finding the right #balance between protecting society and protecting individual rights remains one of the biggest #challenges of the digital age.

#FlockCameras : "A police officer can search 100,000 #cameras nationwide to see if a fugitive has passed any Flock cameras, or get an alert when they do. They can also search for identifying features like make, model, color or even unique dents and bumper stickers.
#Police can also use the cameras to surveil protestors and stalk ex-lovers—or strangers they find attractive.
The cameras have raised questions on #constitutionality and have led to wrongful arrests across the county."

📸 Spoiler alert, this plastic “fantastic” camera has a built-in IR filter for decent-looking IR photos. I wonder if this would be a #ShittyCameraChallenge camera?

It is too expensive, though. 😐 #cameras #photography

For #TaylorSwift , Madison Square Garden’s Controversial #Cameras Briefly Went Dark
MSG’s sprawling #surveillance system can monitor guests down to the second. Its owners made an exception for the pop star’s rehearsal dinner.
> did they actually stop recording with the cameras? I believe the article just said they didn’t let the staff look at it.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🔍🌡️ A University of #Surrey program called Heat Cool gives #elementary #students thermal #cameras to find hot spots and #design cooling #solutions like green roofs.
More than 500 #children across seven #UK #schools captured over 1,700 thermal #images proving green #infrastructure stays 1-3º cooler. After the program, over 80% of #kids maintained or improved their #climate understanding.

I'm still having a blast with Quicktake for Apple II from @colin_mcmillen. It's pretty cool (and rather geeky) to be walking around in public these days with a QuickTake 200 in my pocket. :-P
And new features are on the way...
