STOP FLOCK Surveillance In Bel Aire

The Bel Aire City Council is again considering Flock surveillance cameras. As Bel Aire residents who value freedom and small-town community values, we must insist that they OPPOSE this surveillance scheme once again.

  • Sign my Petition:

To the Bel Aire City Council:

Whereas: Flock and other ALPR surveillance cameras treat you and other innocent citizens as perpetual suspects, tracking and databasing your vehicle’s every movement and exposing private details like worship locations, doctor visits, family routines, and political attendance, in violation of the Fourth Amendment; and
Whereas:
Flock errors lead to dangerous mistakes. A DOJ-funded report found typical ALPR accuracy of only 80–85%. Innocent Kansas families are being wrongfully pulled over, some even at gunpoint and handcuffed; and
Whereas: Abuse is rampant across the US and in our backyard. Nearby former Sedgwick Police Chief Lee Nygaard abused Flock data to track his ex-girlfriend 164 times and her boyfriend 64 times, and a Kechi police lieutenant used Flock to stalk his estranged wife; and
Whereas:
Flock’s contracts grant them a perpetual license to use and share local data with anyone, including federal agencies and third-party companies like Palantir, simply by claiming that doing so is for our safety;
Therefore:
We demand the Bel Aire City Council vote NO on any Flock or other ALPR proposals!
