Unplug the Flock cameras.

Every time you drive past a camera like this one, it takes a picture of the back of your car and everything around it, uploading your information into a nationwide surveillance network.

Fight for your Fourth Amendment rights this Fourth of July.

Our government is now always watching your driving, even if you're innocent, without ever needing a warrant for permission.

Flock Safety is a private company out of Atlanta that sells AI-powered license-plate-reading cameras to police departments, cities, and homeowners associations across the country. Warren County is one of thousands of its customers.

The City of Mason has also signed a contract with Flock Safety. Deerfield Township has not.

The surveillance state is a local issue. Your county government signed the contract.

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
— James Madison, Federalist No. 47
MSA §5.3 - Flock may hand footage to "third parties" on nothing more than a "good faith belief" it is necessary. No warrant, no judge, no protections for you.
MSA §4.3 - a "perpetual", "worldwide" right to use the data for "the training of machine learning algorithms."

Their promise

They say they delete it after thirty days. They don't.

The data isn't stored with our local Sheriff. It is sent back to Flock, and the Sheriff requests it from them. What happened to local control?

They say it just reads your license plate. It reads far more, and saves it all.

Every photo captures more than just a license plate. It captures the dents and bumper stickers. Pedestrians walking nearby. Your kids in the back of the car. All of this is saved, and can theoretically be run through facial recognition and other surveillance technology to effectively allow a person to be tracked.

The contract calls it your "Vehicle Fingerprint."

What it costs you

$0
One contract. Two years.

And $39,000 every year after, renewing on its own. The watching does not pause. The bill does not stop. No one has to lift a finger for it to go on.

One nation of watchers

They say it's local. 5,000 agencies say otherwise.

You deserve leadership that understands the digital age and the threats that come with it.

I'm Ian Logan, running for Warren County Commissioner, and I need your help to stop AI surveillance.

The pledge: protect privacy and personal freedom · refuse taxpayer money for government surveillance · drag the contract, the logs, and the sharing into the daylight.

Under §11.16, this contract renews itself unless the county says stop. One vote. One non-renewal notice. The cameras go dark.

How much privacy do we have to lose before enough is enough?

On America 250

We inherit a country that empowers us to stand up and fight.

On America 250, look to the future, because our Constitution allows us to shape it.
