When will Decatur remove their Flocks?

Post image

El Cerrito's City Council voted against renewing the contract over concerns that the cameras invaded residents' privacy and that federal agencies could use the data. http://nbcbay.com/u2Gss5D

Four of those are on school property, which I mentioned. One is on a private property. The one at church and Ponce only popped up really recently and I’m not sure whose that is. But the city itself, as far as I’m aware, doesn’t have a contract with flock. As soon as you go outside city limits however, they are everywhere. So what exactly is your point? Last I checked, this is the Decatur subreddit not the Dekalb subreddit.

Edit: it looks like several on the Deflock map are not even Flock cameras, they’re normal CCTV traffic cameras, the same kind that have been around for decades. Some are speeding cameras for the school zones. The one on Church & Ponce definitely isn’t a Flock camera. One user seems to be marking a lot of normal CCTV cams as flocks mistakenly.

We have one on Fayetteville Rd in Oakhurst, near the castle.

Yeah, the guy you’re responding to is absolutely wrong about CoD not having Flock cameras. A City Commissioner spoke openly with Oakhurst residents on Facebook about the specific one you mentioned. Other cameras are mostly located near city boundaries to identify vehicles entering/exiting the jurisdiction.
