Please be aware that unless they physically remove the cameras, ending the agreement only removes local cop access to the data. Unless they physically remove the cameras, the cameras are still operating, tracking everyone, and violating everyone’s rights. Don’t settle for anything less than actual physical removal of the cameras.

Even if you have to do it yourself.
Someone told me they are full of copper, cocaine and jellybeans 🤷♀️
This is the first I'm hearing of jelly beans and suddenly I have a sawsall in my hand.
Gold connectors. (seriously).
And that info is being sent to DHS and every private data broker that can pay
Oh, they'll be physically removed alright.
It seems to me that there would have to be some land use agreement for the space the cameras occupy. Going after those might not be a bad call. They're frequently in public parkways, so I would imagine that a city that is divesting from them might physically kick them off their land when brought to their attention.
I hope so. They have not done that in the city where I live despite ending their contrite flock. People need to agitate with their local government to take this additional step.
Why is ABC trying to keep Flock's name out of the headline?
The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is an American commercial broadcast television and radio network that serves as the flagship property of the Disney Television Group division of the Walt Disney Company.
This is only to replace it with Palintir. Which makes this much, much worse.
Do you know they are signing up with Palantir or is this a general sentiment?
They're regular video cameras.
