We celebrated the 4th of July disabling Flock cameras in the hood where we live. On multiple occasion, neighbors watched without comment (or 911 call) as we climbed on each others' shoulders and smashed the cameras with hammers and bricks, cut their brackets with tin snips, or wrenched them off their poles with our bare hands.
Savannah PD is installing AI powered License Plate Readers to protect extractive industry, map our movements, and enforce gentrification. The manufacturer Flock claims LPRs solve 10 percent of crimes these days. It's hard enough to afford housing in Savannah; imagine being unable to access bail, then being forced to accept a plea deal… and oop that 10% statistic begins to look real predatory.
Six in total have gone down, which is one more than the bold actors in Atlanta reported in April 😉 Can other cities add to the total? Solidarity means attack!
