Join Troy Indivisible as we host our neighbors, Indivisible Albany and the local De-Flock Troy group, for a forum on the state of surveillance in our area, and how Flock cameras have spread here.

Over the past several decades, the United States has experienced a steady and often quiet expansion of surveillance that has reshaped the relationship between the government and the public. What began as targeted intelligence gathering has evolved into a vast ecosystem of data collection, enabled by digital technologies, private-sector partnerships and national security policies that that prioritize preemption over transparency.

A striking example of this shift is the rapid adoption of automated license plate reader systems produced by Flock Safety, now deployed by thousands of police departments, public and private entities across the country. The Capital District has seen a rise in the use of Flock cameras, including within the City of Troy, often without meaningful public consent or oversight.

We will discuss how Flock camera systems work, where they are, how the data is retained and, more importantly, how this data is being funneled to federal agencies such as ICE to target and track immigrant communities. **We will also discuss actions that you can take to fight back against the installation of Flock cameras and demand accountability for those already in use.**

Please join us on April 14 at 7 pm at 35 State St., Troy for the presentation and discussion. Contact deflock.troyny@gmail.com or troynyindivisible@gmail.com for more information.
