Elgin Community College resorted to covering the surveillance cameras with trash bags and zip ties. Public records show that federal immigration authorities have accessed Flock data at other Illinois colleges.
To protect immigrant students, a Chicago-area college told Flock to remove its cameras. The company refused.

Why, because getting caught would be illegal, of course. âđź

But - theyâre on College land and the contract has been terminated.

I donât disagree with the sentiment, but itâs like how you canât trash someoneâs car because they parked it somewhere and left it. It needs to be removed either by Flock or by the city, which probably doesnât want the cost/hassle of it if waiting for Flock to do it fixes the problem.

So then there shouldn't be any issue with rendering them inoperable, right? Bag the solar units, put the Flock Sock on the cameras. If you can't legally take them down, just prevent them from working.

I wonder if the college can then sue for illegal surveillance

College campuses flag bicycles at the end of the semester for removal. If they gave Flock notice and resonable accommodations to remove their equipment then Flock fails to, it could be considered abandoned.

I mean, that's how victimless "crimes" earn victims, after all. Just, ya know, of the system, instead.

Did she not get the memo that that's what they're for?! đ¤˘

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your carâs location, date, and time. They also capture your carâs make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehiclesâregardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Why not just cut them down and shred them?
