Former ICE and CBP leaders who have now left the agency told the FT that previous safeguards are gone, with ICE pursuing aggressive quotas by using data from Social Security, the IRS, and commercial surveillance and license plate reader companies.

For 2 weeks this year, unauthorized outside agencies searched SD's Flock license plate data. Flock messed up the settings. SDPD first hid the breach, then admitted it months later but still redacts the reasons for the 12,914 unauthorized searches.

Council vote Tue! Act now: trst.fyi/stop-flock-e

Leaders and community spoke truth at our press conference this week.

"The SD police officer that led this initiative, that led bringing this technology to the city of SD, is now an employee of Flock. There is something extremely wrong with how this was done."

Flock lied about a Texas sheriff who searched Flock to track down a woman for an abortion. Flock asserted the woman was never under criminal investigation. Court documents showed Flock misled the public for months, accusing journalists of lying. #shutdownflock #whattheflock
Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime
Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Hearing SDPD say if people don't want their plates shared widely they can shop elsewhere is sbad faith when it is only a kpbs investigation that reveals the mall, Lowe's, and Home Depot sharing data.
San Diego County police agencies access many private license plate readers with minimal oversight
Dozens of businesses and homeowners associations around San Diego allow law enforcement to search through data from their license plate readers, including Home Depot, Lowe's, and local malls.

In Dec, SD City Council will decide whether to spend millions to keep Flock automated license plate readers (ALPR) on our streets.

Flock has created an out-of-control data sharing technology.
Flock deceived the public.
Flock overrode City authorities.

In true form for San Diego, we are paying for the worst of the worst of the license plate readers systems: Flock. Lies, data breaches, lawsuits, failed audits, abusive practices. Never stop fighting against San Diego adopting the worst products and practices. We can and should have better.

This is what TRUST Coalition's Safety in Unity 2025 looks like! Thanks to everyone who came out to share knowledge about organizing against mass #surveillance and work towards a world where we create our own #safety through unity, rather than surveillance.
