[0:51]

[0:51]
recognize we have state
[0:53]
Representative Dean Black in
[0:54]
the room. He came here as
[0:55]
well. We're grateful to your
[0:56]
presence or areas in the back.
[1:01]
All right. So you know this,
[1:01]
this meetings got a good
[1:02]
amount of fanfare and I'm glad
[1:04]
to see such a such a large
[1:04]
group of folks in here who I
[1:07]
think kind of. Mere the
[1:08]
political spectrum. And I
[1:10]
think that's really important
[1:12]
because this is an issue or
[1:13]
isis. A conversation that's
[1:14]
happening at the national
[1:15]
level at the state level and
[1:19]
at the local level about what
[1:19]
are these cameras that have
[1:21]
popping up a lot in the past
[1:23]
several years? What what what
[1:25]
kind of data do they have?
[1:26]
What what relationship they
[1:27]
have with law enforcement as
[1:27]
law enforcement the best use
[1:31]
out of them. And also is there
[1:32]
constitutionality questions
[1:35]
that that we should be asking
[1:35]
and that, you know, neighbors
[1:36]
and communities have been
[1:37]
asking for a while now. And so
[1:38]
I just kind of want to get as
[1:40]
many answers we could at this
[1:41]
moment. There's no draft
[1:44]
legislation as of yet kind of
[1:46]
kind of tinkering with ideas
[1:48]
of what I would expect to file
[1:52]
if we can. And so, you know,
[1:52]
we have one of one of our
[1:54]
attorneys here, one of best
[1:56]
attorneys who also worked in
[1:57]
the prosecutor's office for
[1:58]
quite some time, which is a
[1:58]
really good expertise on, you
[2:03]
know. That kind of level of of
[2:04]
criminal justice all that to
[2:06]
if you do have public comment
[2:06]
cards, please bring them up. I
[2:07]
want to hear from as many
[2:09]
folks as possible that we do
[2:09]
have the room only for a
[2:13]
limited amount of time. All
[2:15]
right. So heading down the
[2:16]
agenda goals for the automated
[2:17]
surveillance equipment,
[2:18]
policies, regulation and a
[2:20]
possible temporary moratorium.
[2:25]
So as we've been kind of
[2:25]
looking at stuff from the
[2:27]
policy perspective from city
[2:28]
councils, perspective, I just
[2:29]
don't know what as a county
[2:33]
and as a municipality, we have
[2:35]
the rights to do when it comes
[2:36]
anything involving these
[2:36]
cameras right there in the
[2:37]
right of way public right of
[2:39]
way. So one MAY assume that
[2:40]
being in the public right of
[2:43]
way. You have to get a permit
[2:44]
or or there must be some sort
[2:46]
of methodology as to how they
[2:49]
got installed. And so first
[2:50]
off, I don't know if if the
[2:52]
mayor's office or some of the
[2:53]
Sunday research on this as to
[2:55]
how some of these got
[2:55]
installed or if anyone has
[3:04]
any. Knowledge of that.
[3:05]
Bringing north for the
[3:06]
Ministration. I don't have
[3:07]
direct answers for you, but
[3:07]
I've made a list of some of
[3:08]
these questions will get.
[3:12]
>> And back to you guys.
[3:12]
Excellent.
[3:13]
>> So seeing that was one of
[3:15]
my first questions is who's
[3:16]
installing these cameras and
[3:16]
our taxpayer dollars being
[3:19]
used to install them. Are
[3:20]
there no taxpayer dollars
[3:21]
being used to install them,
[3:23]
but then when there's a
[3:24]
subscription service, whether
[3:26]
it be flock or when the other
[3:27]
things. That's the of note
[3:29]
here is it's not just flock,
[3:29]
right. There are other. This
[3:33]
is a larger conversation about
[3:34]
kind of Cummings, automated
[3:39]
camera devices so. I think
[3:39]
what what what I would like to
[3:42]
see. Minor draft legislation
[3:45]
that I have. It's kind of. A
[3:49]
couple different points. One
[3:49]
is a an immediate moratorium
[3:51]
for about 120 days on any new
[3:52]
cameras being installed in the
[3:55]
city of Jacksonville. 2 was a
[3:56]
inventory of all cameras with
[4:03]
the city of Jacksonville. New
[4:06]
process to be drafted that
[4:07]
last for public participation
[4:07]
for when cameras do get
[4:08]
installed or are going through
[4:10]
the installation process,
[4:11]
which I believe would go
[4:13]
through the cpac setting. That
[4:14]
makes sense, see packs for
[4:17]
those of you familiar are the
[4:18]
community, you know, the
[4:18]
community groups that the
[4:20]
citizen like groups we have, I
[4:24]
think 6, throughout their
[4:25]
throughout the city. And so
[4:26]
oftentimes kind of land use
[4:28]
and zoning issues go before
[4:29]
the cpac. It's a good way for
[4:31]
the public to be involved in
[4:32]
the process. So, hey, if any
[4:33]
new cameras are being
[4:35]
installed, it has to go
[4:35]
through and be briefed in
[4:38]
front of that group. And then
[4:38]
last thing that I've really
[4:40]
been tinkering with, isn't
[4:43]
that what I'm hearing a lot.
[4:44]
Is how do we maybe remove
[4:47]
these cameras? Now, the first
[4:48]
thing I should note is as in
[4:51]
my conversations with jso,
[4:52]
they're very much in support
[4:53]
of these cameras said they
[4:55]
have helped lead to reducing
[4:57]
crime to solving crimes, to
[4:59]
ensuring that if there's a
[5:01]
missing persons or something
[5:02]
along those lines or or or
[5:03]
someone who's in running
[5:04]
running from the law that
[5:07]
these value at. And I don't
[5:09]
dispute that. I don't think
[5:09]
that that is, you know, I
[5:10]
think so long as one crime.
[5:12]
It's all because of that. You
[5:13]
could say, alright, I see the
[5:16]
value in this. The crime
[5:17]
prevention peas. However, it's
[5:20]
just a matter of from the
[5:21]
constitutional side. Well, we
[5:22]
want to make sure that
[5:24]
neighbors and those who live
[5:25]
in the communities adjacent to
[5:26]
these cameras, aware that
[5:27]
there's a camera to begin
[5:31]
with. And 2, if they don't
[5:31]
want the camera right outside
[5:32]
the neighborhood with in their
[5:34]
neighborhood, what kind of
[5:35]
process exists to not only
[5:36]
give them as much information
[5:37]
about the cameras possible but
[5:38]
ways to potentially remove the
[5:42]
camera. And so what I've been
[5:44]
kind of tinkering with is if
[5:46]
ever a neighborhood wants a
[5:47]
speed hump. All right. I'm
[5:48]
using a weird process here
[5:50]
every neighborhood. Wants
[5:52]
speed hump. They usually go
[5:53]
through their city council
[5:54]
member or go through a process
[5:55]
where they get a petition. So
[5:59]
listen from their neighbors.
[6:00]
Then a more formal petition
[6:00]
process goes out to the
[6:01]
property owners and the select
[6:04]
whether or not they speed hump
[6:06]
or not. So I would envision if
[6:08]
we were looking to remove a
[6:09]
camera that it would go
[6:10]
through a similar process that
[6:11]
the neighborhood would come to
[6:12]
their elected score through
[6:13]
the cpac or through the city
[6:16]
in general and just sort of,
[6:18]
you know, a petition process.
[6:18]
We go out to folks. They would
[6:19]
say yes or no. They want the
[6:22]
camera moved. As for how much
[6:23]
of a cause for move the
[6:24]
camera. That part, I don't
[6:27]
know. Nor I know. You know
[6:28]
what, what if public dollars
[6:29]
to be used for move the camera
[6:29]
for the up to the
[6:31]
neighborhoods and communities.
[6:32]
These are things I'm just
[6:34]
tinkering with that. I've
[6:35]
spoken to general counsel
[6:36]
about and they are are doing
[6:38]
their best to research this.
[6:39]
Are there any thoughts or
[6:39]
comments from my colleagues at
[6:42]
this moment? Council PRESIDENT
[6:47]
Helena? Yeah, thank you
[6:48]
constantly. So I was in the
[6:50]
office today. So I wanted
[6:52]
already. And when I having
[6:53]
this meeting, I want to drop
[6:53]
by because this is a serious
[6:54]
issue. It's a polarizing
[6:58]
issue. I think it's one that.
[6:59]
Israeli at the juxtaposition
[7:01]
between public safety and
[7:02]
privacy. I think it's one we
[7:07]
shouldn't rush. In 2. We
[7:07]
should have a kind of a
[7:09]
community-wide debate on this.
[7:13]
I know I've been talking the
[7:14]
site's been council PRESIDENT.
[7:15]
I'm also the liaison. So I
[7:16]
speak regularly with the
[7:17]
sheriff and his team issue
[7:18]
such as this. And we've been
[7:20]
talking to this issue and
[7:21]
>> and the sheriff shares the
[7:24]
same concerns. It's a very
[7:27]
effective public safety tool,
[7:27]
but he's concerned about
[7:28]
misuse of data and concerned
[7:30]
about protecting 4th Amendment
[7:31]
privacy rights. And I think
[7:36]
he's shown. Is for your tenure
[7:37]
and the office for plus years
[7:41]
that he's willing hold his own
[7:42]
officers accountable and
[7:43]
misuse. I think they've done
[7:44]
that with David data and other
[7:50]
things we have to think about
[7:51]
those things as we go forward.
[7:52]
We also need to think about
[7:53]
the state has been clear that
[7:54]
they want to address this
[7:55]
issue. I current governor
[7:58]
mentioned that he'd like to
[8:00]
address I've heard the
[8:01]
incoming governor mentioned
[8:04]
that he'd like to address it.
[8:05]
Governor view already chosen
[8:10]
is always I have. I've heard
[8:10]
the state legislature think
[8:12]
about how they want to address
[8:13]
it. So I think we need to
[8:15]
think about the issue very
[8:17]
carefully and make sure that
[8:17]
we find the right balance.
[8:19]
Listen to community concerns
[8:21]
and ensure that we protect
[8:26]
people's privacy rights. A
[8:27]
council PRESIDENT Council
[8:28]
councilmember elective any
[8:29]
comments or thoughts on this
[8:30]
>> You have to. But I just
[8:31]
want to be an opportunity. Now
[8:36]
feel like I have Now. Just
[8:37]
appreciate the opportunity.
[8:40]
Glad that the room is full.
[8:40]
This is an issue that I've
[8:41]
heard a lot about over the
[8:42]
last couple weeks and months
[8:45]
and a lot of concerns from all
[8:45]
over.
[8:46]
>> Jacksonville, from beaches,
[8:49]
North side, South side,
[8:51]
another something that we need
[8:52]
to come into alignment on. But
[8:55]
to appreciate the benefits of
[8:57]
public safety with these
[8:58]
cameras, but also understand
[8:59]
the concern around
[9:02]
surveillance privacy. So happy
[9:03]
to be here today to hear more
[9:08]
from the public. Excellent.
[9:09]
Thank you.
[9:10]
>> as we some sort of put you
[9:13]
on the on the hot seat here,
[9:16]
I'm seeing that a number of
[9:17]
counties and cities within the
[9:18]
state of Florida because, you
[9:18]
know, if you look at the back
[9:20]
of his hand out, it shows a
[9:24]
very much it shows a number of
[9:26]
municipalities and parts of
[9:28]
the country contract was
[9:29]
canceled with whether flock or
[9:30]
one of the other private
[9:34]
companies however, very few of
[9:35]
them are within the state of
[9:38]
Florida. Right? And so state
[9:40]
law and it's a lot they have a
[9:40]
lot of control of our counties
[9:41]
or municipalities. So it is
[9:44]
kind of better. You know, it's
[9:44]
good to see stuff from
[9:47]
Connecticut and Massachusetts,
[9:48]
Wyoming but state state law in
[9:51]
Florida's is very different.
[9:52]
So I don't know because I'm
[9:53]
seeing a few stuff in here
[9:54]
from Tampa, Saint Leon County
[9:58]
and Lake County. How what kind
[9:59]
of rights that we potentially
[10:00]
have that we are we able to
[10:02]
say, hey, you can't build
[10:02]
anything in the right of way,
[10:03]
even if it's a public entity
[10:04]
that can do it you have any
[10:13]
thoughts on that.
[10:15]
>> What other counties have
[10:17]
done and what other what
[10:18]
cities other counties have
[10:23]
done other states. I have the
[10:23]
distinct feeling that there is
[10:24]
a lot more being done. It just
[10:27]
doesn't make. An Internet
[10:31]
search very quickly,
[10:32]
especially when talk about the
[10:33]
passage of laws, sometimes it
[10:34]
takes, you know, our process
[10:36]
takes 6 weeks, minimum. So
[10:38]
sometimes it's just not
[10:39]
actually in the public view
[10:45]
quite yet. The second level on
[10:46]
that. And it would be some
[10:46]
that have to look at each one
[10:47]
of these separately is just
[10:50]
because
[10:53]
>> municipality has passed an
[10:54]
ordinance doesn't mean that
[10:57]
ordinance is actually fully
[10:59]
lawful because they MAY be
[11:01]
split be having a policy
[11:01]
declaration more than actually
[11:03]
a change, a law. So I'd have
[11:05]
to drill down on each one of
[11:08]
them. And as to what can you
[11:09]
do wear it depends on the what
[11:12]
and the wear because of is it
[11:14]
a state road is that city
[11:15]
road? Whose camera is it?
[11:19]
There's a lot really broad,
[11:20]
detailed fact base question
[11:23]
that I'm happy to dig into
[11:24]
excellent. And we appreciate
[11:25]
that. I I think it's something
[11:26]
kind of work to get into.
[11:33]
>> you know, actually state
[11:33]
representative like, do you
[11:35]
want to come up here and speak
[11:35]
from kind of your perspective
[11:36]
on this that it is not
[11:37]
mandatory. Sarah, just want to
[11:38]
give you that the time and
[11:42]
attention. If you'd like. Have
[11:57]
a with us.
[12:01]
I think the city
[12:02]
council PRESIDENT Said it well
[12:05]
when he said we stand at the
[12:05]
juxtaposition.
[12:06]
>> Between security.
[12:10]
>> And
[12:14]
>> we have to be very cautious
[12:15]
and how we proceed. We want to
[12:16]
be safe. We want to make sure
[12:17]
law enforcement has the tools
[12:20]
to keep us so but we also want
[12:22]
to make sure that we don't
[12:23]
create the tools inadvertently
[12:27]
in the service of security for
[12:28]
one day police surveillance
[12:32]
state to emerge. And speaking
[12:33]
as your state representative,
[12:35]
I know that many of my
[12:36]
colleagues in Tallahassee
[12:38]
share this concern. We want to
[12:42]
make sure that. We remain a
[12:44]
free people, but also a secure
[12:47]
people. And so to that in
[12:48]
COUNCILMAN, thank you for
[12:50]
calling this meeting.
[12:51]
PRESIDENT COUNCILMAN Elect.
[12:53]
Thank you for being here. I
[12:55]
think this is a very healthy
[12:58]
discourse and I stepped in
[13:00]
here before my other meeting
[13:01]
because above all else, I
[13:02]
wanted to hear what what you
[13:07]
all have to say. And so the
[13:08]
less I speak, the more value I
[13:11]
will get from you. And so with
[13:13]
that, I'll close and thank
[13:14]
you, COUNCILMAN, thank you,
[13:15]
rep and I do appreciate you
[13:17]
showing up. I didn't want to
[13:18]
>> put you on the spot, but I
[13:19]
but I need you have some
[13:19]
pretty good perspective on
[13:21]
this. And you do have a
[13:22]
district that is very diverse
[13:24]
in terms of, you know, it's
[13:24]
very rural and some parts
[13:27]
quite line. New neighborhoods
[13:30]
and our parts. I do want to
[13:31]
dive in a public comment
[13:31]
because I do think that's
[13:33]
gonna maybe one last thing.
[13:34]
Please go ahead. Coming up in
[13:38]
case anyone make mention of it
[13:38]
during public comment when I
[13:39]
was talking Sheriff Waters
[13:42]
recently about. How the state
[13:44]
is likely to take a position
[13:46]
on this. He said, well,
[13:47]
there's no reason that we
[13:48]
can't take a position now to
[13:51]
shore up privacy rights. In
[13:52]
the meantime, and I understand
[13:53]
that there might be another
[13:53]
councilmember considering
[13:54]
piece of legislation that
[13:58]
would potentially make misuse
[14:04]
of lpr data more serious
[14:04]
transgression. So a Class c
[14:06]
misdemeanor or a company by
[14:09]
fines and potential jail time.
[14:11]
And that is a measure to
[14:12]
address concerns right now
[14:16]
about abuse of Lpr data then
[14:19]
wait and see how state handles
[14:20]
some other things. So might be
[14:21]
some of those things which
[14:22]
would be a proactive way of
[14:22]
protecting privacy rights. In
[14:23]
the meantime, while we have
[14:26]
this discussion. Understood
[14:27]
and yeah, I mean, I'm not here
[14:27]
to necessarily rush things,
[14:28]
but I am also here to
[14:29]
recognize that we have an
[14:33]
election in MARCH and then. Is
[14:34]
JANUARY DECEMBER. Then you've
[14:35]
got the new governor shows up
[14:37]
and then eventually get that
[14:38]
mean, there's a significant
[14:40]
amount of time we're in. We're
[14:43]
not as right now. And so, you
[14:44]
know, I do want to make sure
[14:46]
if even if we just do a
[14:47]
moratorium until that point
[14:48]
where the new legislature kind
[14:50]
of needs, which I think is
[14:53]
JANUARY what we should do,
[14:54]
something I think I think
[14:55]
we're about to hear from from
[14:56]
speakers like I want to get
[14:58]
their thoughts. We're going to
[15:01]
go through pretty quickly just
[15:01]
because there's a lot of
[15:02]
speaker cards want to get
[15:03]
people that 2 minutes time
[15:04]
just because we don't have the
[15:07]
room too long. Aaron Perkins.
[15:08]
Next step after Aaron is
[15:19]
Brooke. And what each speakers
[15:22]
please say, your name. And if
[15:22]
you're if
[15:23]
>> you either I your address
[15:24]
or if your address is on the
[15:25]
card, you can simply say
[15:34]
address on file. Give the red.
[15:37]
>> Look for about everybody.
[15:38]
Hear me. Aaron Perkins, 35
[15:39]
West 9th Street live here in
[15:40]
spring from a bike, appeared
[15:40]
trying to dense 3 hours of
[15:44]
conversation. 2 minutes. Okay
[15:44]
things is not being discussed
[15:46]
and I'm a little concerned of
[15:47]
is a fiduciary responsibility
[15:49]
as its mapped out like we're
[15:51]
setting ourselves up to have
[15:52]
yet another asset that we have
[15:53]
to pay maintenance people
[15:54]
hurricane comes through.
[15:54]
People are going to cut these
[15:55]
down the newest and greatest
[15:59]
technology comes out. How is
[16:00]
that contract settled
[16:01]
installed improperly only on
[16:02]
the hook because of technician
[16:03]
installed incorrectly. It's
[16:04]
one big issue. We definitely
[16:07]
to pause. Get that sorted out.
[16:08]
The safety, the other
[16:08]
regulations, other cities.
[16:10]
This is a brand new tool.
[16:12]
First off the assembly
[16:14]
concept. We're making a ring
[16:14]
camera system for the whole
[16:15]
city and other cities are
[16:17]
taking a pause button. We
[16:19]
should too pull that this
[16:19]
thing is going to involve
[16:20]
other people. Municipality's
[16:23]
are going to figure out the
[16:23]
rights and regulations and how
[16:24]
to use as we should be
[16:25]
spending money and we
[16:27]
shouldn't be wasting all the
[16:28]
taxpayers time. If we're gonna
[16:29]
do it wrong but Stitt back
[16:31]
paws. Get it right. The first
[16:32]
time in my world of air
[16:32]
traffic, we put a new
[16:34]
equipment system we do a
[16:35]
safety panel and we try to
[16:38]
determine is it even feasible
[16:40]
or is it worth the time and
[16:41]
investment? Are we going down
[16:42]
the right way? Seems like this
[16:43]
case. What we did put the
[16:44]
technology in place first and
[16:44]
now we're trying to figure out
[16:47]
how we should to play. We pull
[16:49]
back figure out how to deploy
[16:52]
it and make it sensible last
[16:52]
Want to get it when you're
[16:55]
fast. Once someone last want
[16:56]
to get across, is that the
[17:00]
frustration you're hearing and
[17:01]
its multiple places in the
[17:01]
absence of information, people
[17:02]
are going to insert their own
[17:05]
opinion into that space. So we
[17:06]
if and when we move forward
[17:08]
with this concept, there needs
[17:10]
to be clear, concise
[17:11]
information, how it's going to
[17:12]
deployed and people should
[17:13]
have chance to ask questions,
[17:16]
get answers, not not. I'll get
[17:17]
back with you. There should be
[17:18]
a clear information of how
[17:19]
this is done so we can know
[17:20]
how it's deployed. I don't
[17:21]
answer my own fears into that
[17:23]
space. Thank you for your
[17:24]
time. It was a less than 2
[17:27]
minutes. Great job banner. And
[17:32]
then Frederick. My name is
[17:38]
Brooke 5 and oh, citizen
[17:40]
concerned one of the points
[17:41]
that I'm not sure adult
[17:43]
totally dressed as the flock
[17:47]
companies. Have been provided
[17:47]
with access to driver's
[17:52]
license information. That to
[17:55]
me is definite concern.
[17:56]
Initially. How do these
[18:00]
companies? Rula get ruling or
[18:03]
be allowed to install a
[18:04]
private camera on public
[18:09]
device. Public locations. And
[18:10]
secondly, that needs to be
[18:14]
tracked back. Are there any
[18:15]
restrictions? Are there any
[18:16]
requirements for that
[18:18]
licensure and are there any
[18:20]
limitations as to what they
[18:22]
can have access to? That is
[18:23]
deep concern because of that
[18:27]
wide open. Technology like the
[18:28]
flock cameras are essentially
[18:30]
like a hammer. You can use it
[18:31]
to build things or you can use
[18:33]
it destroys things. It's all
[18:36]
depending upon the
[18:38]
restrictions or the intent of
[18:40]
using that tool. And that's my
[18:52]
concern. Thank you very much.
[18:53]
My name is Red road off my
[18:55]
address on the card. I'm here
[18:57]
now to. Present my opinion
[19:01]
against the broad collection,
[19:01]
private citizens movement data
[19:03]
through automatic license
[19:04]
plate readers signal detection
[19:05]
systems that just trace
[19:07]
similar systems operated by
[19:08]
private entities.
[19:08]
>> first argument I want to
[19:09]
make is that every person on
[19:10]
their way to this meeting,
[19:14]
like the best flock cameras,
[19:15]
very recent history
[19:16]
association. Data like this
[19:17]
would absolutely have been
[19:19]
used to target individuals for
[19:21]
u.S. Mint. Lets them as
[19:22]
political dissidents or to
[19:24]
have the members of the false
[19:25]
pretense.
[19:25]
>> Can you get closer to the
[19:26]
microphone so you can get
[19:28]
recorded. Thank you.
[19:29]
>> Recently we have been shown
[19:30]
that the slippery s#
[19:30]
#
[19:30]
#
[19:30]
#
[19:31]
is not
[19:32]
a fallacy. These automatic
[19:35]
tracking systems are operated
[19:36]
private companies and are
[19:37]
beholden to shareholders who
[19:37]
will push them to make as much
[19:39]
money as possible. That means
[19:41]
a constant flow of new
[19:43]
products and services all
[19:44]
centered around the collection
[19:46]
and Adelaide at all is a
[19:47]
shipment of the movement data
[19:51]
of private citizens, the
[19:52]
expansion of these networks to
[19:53]
an artificially intelligent,
[19:54]
but not to. And it's not that
[19:57]
far from science fiction. A
[19:59]
comparison of location data
[20:01]
collected by cell phone
[20:02]
companies often brought up the
[20:02]
part words always left out is
[20:06]
federal and state statutes.
[20:07]
Requires specific legal
[20:08]
threshold be met before those
[20:10]
public. But for those records
[20:11]
are obtained right now, all
[20:15]
that needs for all right. Now,
[20:17]
all that's needed for any
[20:17]
office to accept civilian
[20:18]
movements through the lpr is
[20:21]
the case over. Again belabor
[20:22]
the point all day. But the
[20:23]
bottom line is this the
[20:24]
average citizen should be free
[20:27]
from government overreach,
[20:27]
constant surveillance systems
[20:29]
like these alprs collect every
[20:30]
bit collecting every bit of
[20:31]
moving from every citizen just
[20:34]
in case is an invasive cancer.
[20:39]
Thank you, sir. Tim Riggins.

[20:53]

[20:56]

[20:58]
the reporting around Flock and
[21:00]
surveillance companies. And I
[21:01]
grave concerns about security
[21:02]
posture is that many of these
[21:03]
companies about the actual
[21:04]
design of the products to be
[21:09]
able to. Like enforce
[21:11]
restrictions on who can search

things make make the they are
[21:14]
designed to make it easier for
[21:16]
law enforcement access to
[21:17]
records. That's part of the
[21:18]
value proposition. And I think
[21:21]
that they they will always be
[21:22]
prioritizing, making it easier
[21:24]
over making sure that citizens
[21:25]
privacy rights and
[21:25]
constitutional rights are
[21:33]
protected. Yeah, I don't think
[21:34]
that penalties for misuse are
[21:35]
likely. I have very little
[21:37]
faith that that make much of
[21:38]
an impact on privacy because
[21:39]
if anything, it would just
[21:44]
raised the stakes for. Police
[21:45]
officers to, you it's just
[21:47]
it's more of know I'm
[21:49]
throwing, you colleague onto
[21:50]
the bus and potentially
[21:51]
putting them in jail, which is
[21:52]
not something that police
[21:56]
officer don't want to I also
[21:59]
just wanted to add I would I
[22:01]
would love for the much
[22:02]
moratorium to include not just
[22:04]
don't add new cameras, but
[22:07]
let's also disable the cameras
[22:08]
that we have for now, we even
[22:08]
have wind down due to make
[22:10]
their cities put bags over
[22:12]
them. You can make until a
[22:16]
public policy has been decided
[22:17]
as as a community. I think
[22:18]
that that would be a great way
[22:21]
in the short Yet they're not

There's going to be some tax

revenue from tickets that are
[22:48]
going to be distributed from
[22:49]
the system. But the value from
[22:53]
the data itself, Facebook has
[22:54]
revenue of 270 billion dollars
[22:55]
a year from the free website.
[22:58]
Why is it free? Well, it's
[22:59]
not. It's taking your data and
[23:01]
giving it to advertisers.
[23:02]
Those advertisers then tell
[23:05]
you what you want to fight.
[23:07]
Tiktok collects data on

Saudi Arabian government, not
[23:21]
accompany government has data
[23:23]
on where our children go after
[23:27]
school and what they buy. They
[23:28]
have our shopping habits or
[23:31]
leisure activities. Could you
[23:32]
imagine if we were to go to
[23:35]
war with the nation that new
[23:37]
what our behavior was during
[23:37]
school shooting or natural
[23:40]
disaster or celebrity death.
[23:42]
And the question that I have
[23:43]
to really ask is what
[23:44]
happened, sir, data when Flock
[23:45]
goes bankrupt and they have to
[23:49]
sell their assets. Thank you.
[23:50]
Thank you, Ben Alcorn.

>> Followed by Laura Harris.
[23:58]
Veteran Elkhorn Madras and
[24:05]
file. I think it's a
[24:06]
complicated issue doesn't fit
[24:08]
into our traditional 2 party
[24:09]
system. Like we've got a
[24:12]
design. Like most issues do.
[24:13]
So it's a little nuanced. And
[24:18]
I Next thing I want to say is
[24:21]
a moratorium is not a ban.
[24:23]
It's just time pause. Take
[24:26]
time to look at the issues and
[24:26]
talk through, especially since
[24:31]
it is a nuanced. Ishan are
[24:33]
some pros. I've seen it work
[24:33]
in the construction industry
[24:34]
and cameras have been put on
[24:37]
job sites and stopped. And
[24:42]
help catch criminals. That of
[24:44]
gone to job sites to steal
[24:44]
things which makes
[24:45]
affordability of houses
[24:48]
higher, right? So I mean,
[24:49]
there's real good case uses of
[24:53]
However. You know, we don't
[24:54]
want to give jso that, you
[24:55]
know, the tools to do their
[25:00]
job. We want to be safe.
[25:01]
Identification harassment,
[25:02]
privacy, liberty are issues
[25:04]
that matter and they need to
[25:06]
be discussed. And so. I think
[25:07]
transparency is really the
[25:10]
issue. This is obviously
[25:10]
authorized and jso is budget
[25:13]
which the law budget with
[25:14]
online. You know that not a
[25:17]
lot of people necessarily see.
[25:18]
What is the cost of this
[25:19]
because it is a taxpayer cost
[25:21]
ultimately our taxes pay jso.
[25:25]
All right. So some
[25:27]
transparency there. What is it
[25:27]
being used for? Is it just
[25:29]
being used for? A license
[25:33]
plates? I think jso made a
[25:34]
statement that that's the
[25:34]
case. I don't know if that's
[25:37]
necessarily fully true or not.
[25:40]
So transparency is the issue
[25:42]
is this data being shared with
[25:42]
who else has access to this
[25:44]
data besides jso? For
[25:48]
instance. Immigration,
[25:49]
customs, they have access to
[25:54]
the as I said You know, just
[25:54]
wondering and we don't know
[25:55]
the answers to that. All
[25:59]
right. So I want to go back to
[26:04]
a moratorium is not a ban.

Annex of Laura Harris played

by Matt Hammond. Matt, if just
[26:21]
kind of prep.
[26:23]
>> I am not an active this
[26:26]
time. Just an old lady. Who
[26:30]
retired. And I'm here to tell
[26:33]
you about an experience that I
[26:34]
had in 2022. Where one
[26:35]
Saturday morning I went out to
[26:37]
my driveway. My car was gone.
[26:39]
Name and address, I it's on
[26:42]
the card. Got that. Name
[26:43]
please. I apologize. Laura
[26:47]
Harris. I'm sorry. I'm not
[26:52]
accustomed public. Speaking.
[26:53]
>> And you're doing great. You
[26:54]
got it already had a minute.
[26:56]
And 47 If you don't mind, I'm
[26:57]
just going to read this since
[26:59]
going be. Consistently
[27:06]
interrupted. My name is Laura
[27:07]
Harris. I live in
[27:09]
Jacksonville, Florida, in
[27:10]
2022. 1 beautiful Saturday
[27:11]
morning. I walked out to my
[27:14]
driveway. It was empty. My car
[27:16]
was gone. I posted on Facebook
[27:19]
looking for my vehicle. I feel
[27:20]
for scheme claiming to have
[27:21]
the ability to find my car. I
[27:24]
paid them for help. Victimized
[27:28]
again. When police eventually
[27:31]
recovered my vehicle in a week
[27:33]
or so. All my belongings were
[27:34]
gone in their place were
[27:39]
dozens. Of other people's
[27:40]
credit cards, purses and
[27:44]
wallets. Initially, I didn't
[27:46]
understand why I was asked to
[27:47]
retrieve my car from the
[27:49]
suspect's address or the
[27:50]
suspect's residence or why the
[27:52]
police have not removed items
[27:54]
that obviously did not belong
[27:56]
to me. I eventually realized
[27:58]
that I was being rolled out in
[28:01]
just out as a suspect. I was
[28:03]
one victim. There were many
[28:06]
others. If Lott cameras had
[28:08]
been in place, then that car
[28:09]
might have been located faster
[28:12]
and some of those people might
[28:14]
have been spared. The theft
[28:15]
and the months of cleanup that
[28:19]
followed. I understand the
[28:20]
privacy concerns were already
[28:27]
tracked on our phones. We're
[28:27]
already tracked on our phones.
[28:29]
Our computers are streaming

the 3rd party. Basis does not

hold here either. So another

fox Wing, it are the states

it. If the states holding this

destroyed and 7 days than they

Florida has a anti stalking

[30:29]
see a person All right. Thank
[30:36]
you, Corey. Go ahead. Ask him.
[30:38]
>> Good morning. My name is
[30:39]
Allison Patrick. Addison
[30:39]
Liberty. Patrick, in my
[30:42]
addresses on file. And I'm
[30:43]
sure there's going to be a lot
[30:45]
more people who are going to
[30:45]
talk about the violation of
[30:48]
her 4th Amendment rights. So I
[30:50]
will leave that alone for now.
[30:54]
>> I do want to say. Something
[30:55]
that I don't believe. I've
[30:56]
heard anybody say this
[30:57]
morning. Somebody did mention
[30:59]
what happens to the data if
[31:01]
lock or any other companies
[31:01]
like Accenture, whoever
[31:02]
purchases these like, where's
[31:05]
that day to go? How long do
[31:10]
they have access to the data?
[31:11]
Right now? I believe some of
[31:16]
it is in the aws Cloud. I
[31:18]
think that's an issue. I think
[31:18]
this could be a national
[31:19]
security issue. I think this
[31:21]
is a bad, bad, bad thing all
[31:22]
around.
[31:24]
>> We have people from all
[31:25]
political.
[31:26]
>> Parties represented who are
[31:27]
speaking against this for, you
[31:28]
know, for some reason or
[31:32]
another. And it's we have to
[31:33]
we have to pay attention to to
[31:42]
all of this jso. Town hall
[31:43]
meeting that they have for
[31:44]
district 6 now is that they
[31:46]
mention that there and 9 month
[31:48]
backlog of just responding to
[31:49]
body cam requests because of
[31:50]
all the things that have to be
[31:54]
redacted. So if we have flock
[31:55]
cameras and jso has any
[31:56]
control over those and they
[31:57]
have to redact public
[31:59]
information that sensitive.
[32:00]
How long would it take us to
[32:01]
even find out what they even
[32:03]
have going on there for
[32:04]
records? Requests of its were
[32:05]
already in almost a year of
[32:07]
the backlog. They also have
[32:09]
drones. I think this is a
[32:09]
slippery slippery s#
[32:09]
#
[32:09]
#
[32:09]
#
[32:10]
. We've
[32:13]
got all the cameras
[32:13]
everywhere. They're all
[32:15]
talking to. Each other are
[32:16]
being tracked. And now we've
[32:19]
got the drones. So if you're
[32:20]
not aware, go, look those up
[32:22]
jso has deploying those in
[32:26]
certain situations. So I
[32:28]
support canceling the full
[32:29]
contracts, getting rid of them
[32:30]
and anything else that we have
[32:32]
in that sphere. And if not, I
[32:33]
support the temporary
[32:36]
moratorium so we can just get
[32:37]
rid of them now. Thank you so
[32:40]
much. Thanks, Patrick.
[32:41]
Jennifer Dean.
[32:41]
>> Followed by Rachel Read
[32:45]
about Herb about. My my
[32:46]
thoughts. Jennifer Dean, I'm
[32:51]
sorry. Jennifer. 2 minutes,
[32:54]
Rachel, you're next.
[32:54]
>> I good morning. My name is
[32:56]
Jennifer Dean. Patterson,
[32:59]
record. I want to make thing
[32:59]
one thing very clear. I am not
[33:01]
against security and I'm not
[33:04]
against technology. I support
[33:05]
technology that helps law
[33:06]
enforcement protect
[33:07]
communities and improve
[33:08]
emergency response. But the
[33:09]
security and surveillance or
[33:12]
not the same thing. Security
[33:14]
protects people surveillance
[33:17]
monitors people. And when
[33:19]
technology contract core
[33:20]
collect store information
[33:23]
about ordinary citizens. We
[33:25]
need to safeguards before that
[33:25]
technology expands. Technology
[33:27]
is moving faster than many of
[33:30]
our laws and policies. We do
[33:32]
not know exactly what these
[33:33]
systems MAY be capable of 5 or
[33:35]
10 years from now. How
[33:38]
databases MAY connect, how
[33:40]
artificial intelligence MAY
[33:41]
analyze the information around
[33:42]
information can be used
[33:44]
tomorrow. That is why the
[33:46]
public deserves answers. Now
[33:49]
who owns this technology who
[33:51]
controls it, who has access to
[33:54]
it? Why is the information
[33:54]
being collected? How long has
[33:59]
it stored? How how are audits
[34:01]
used? What happens if it's
[34:03]
abused? That should be clear
[34:04]
limits. There should be
[34:07]
Clinton clear in its limits.
[34:10]
>> Oversight, transparency,
[34:12]
accountability and meaningful
[34:12]
public input before
[34:15]
surveillance technology. Is
[34:18]
installed, expanded or
[34:20]
renewed. We should be also
[34:21]
asked whether the technology
[34:22]
is actually solving the
[34:25]
problem. Not every public
[34:27]
safety problem requires
[34:29]
another camera, sometimes
[34:32]
better lighting staffing,
[34:33]
communication. Emergency
[34:34]
response are less intrusive.
[34:36]
Technology MAY be a better
[34:38]
situation. The question should
[34:40]
always be what actually makes
[34:42]
people safer while creating
[34:43]
the least unnecessary
[34:44]
intrusion of their lives. I
[34:46]
support law enforcement. I
[34:49]
support fighting crime. I
[34:52]
support innovation. But I also
[34:53]
support privacy, civil
[34:54]
liberties and reasonable
[34:57]
government. There are things
[34:59]
there are things that are not
[34:59]
mutually exclusive to make
[35:02]
public safety matters.
[35:02]
>> Thank you. Thank you very
[35:04]
much, Rachel. About and then
[35:12]
Marshall Branick. It been.
[35:14]
>> Thank you. My name Rachel.
[35:16]
Be about address is on file.
[35:19]
Thank you for the opportunity
[35:21]
to speak. This is my first
[35:22]
time ever speaking at a public
[35:30]
meeting. Excuse me, I'm sorry.
[35:32]
You're going start time for
[35:33]
meant.
[35:37]
>> You are. Brought.
[35:38]
>> I stopped. Told my son that
[35:40]
was coming this morning. And I
[35:41]
would just like to say them
[35:42]
that I'm speaking his behalf.
[35:43]
He's been taking civics class
[35:47]
in public school. And I told
[35:50]
him that it's citizens
[35:52]
responsibility. So if I don't
[35:53]
come to a public meeting and
[35:55]
speak I know that he can. And
[36:00]
so on. I do want to just
[36:02]
mention that state
[36:03]
Representative Black said that
[36:03]
we want to remain a free
[36:08]
people. It's important and to
[36:09]
keep our freedom for security,
[36:12]
security and safety in the
[36:16]
spirit of our 250 th-birthday.
[36:18]
I just would like to read that
[36:19]
Thomas Jefferson said and 17,
[36:22]
74 that a free people claim
[36:23]
their rights as arrived from
[36:26]
the laws of nature and not as
[36:29]
the gift of their chief
[36:32]
magistrate. It seems that
[36:33]
there's an emphasis government
[36:34]
rights, municipal jurisdiction
[36:39]
to install this equipment
[36:41]
recently on Columbus, Ohio
[36:43]
town meeting doctor via trend
[36:45]
who has a Ph d in crime,
[36:49]
surveillance and policing and
[36:51]
at Ohio State University said
[36:52]
on the record that he believes
[36:56]
in his professional opinion,
[36:58]
that flock cameras is
[36:59]
basically investigating.
[37:00]
Everyone is under
[37:03]
investigation at all times.
[37:04]
And he acquitted Kay did that
[37:04]
to prescribe them. Sure.
[37:07]
Everyone in this room. A
[37:08]
certain movie comes to mind
[37:13]
when you think of that so it
[37:15]
goes beyond protecting 4th
[37:16]
Amendment rights to be secure
[37:17]
in our personal property and
[37:21]
in our effects. It's been
[37:22]
Thank you. Thank you. Marshall
[37:24]
Branick.
[37:30]
>> Followed by Latasha hubs.
[37:32]
>> Good morning. Marshall
[37:34]
Anderson File Council includes
[37:34]
a first thank you for holding
[37:35]
this meeting in taking the
[37:36]
time to hear us out. And thank
[37:37]
you for your service in the
[37:38]
Navy. That's going to be
[37:41]
important. Second. For
[37:41]
context, I just retired from
[37:44]
the Navy last month after 20
[37:45]
years, I spent that time
[37:47]
aboard the u Geena before left
[37:48]
Jacksonville and I we actually
[37:50]
MAY have been stationed Jack
[37:51]
or a Norfolk around the same
[37:55]
time there's somewhere along
[37:55]
the way. I also developed a
[37:58]
strong interest in technology
[38:00]
and data couldn't code called
[38:01]
my way out paperback. But I
[38:02]
spend enough time working with
[38:04]
dad and I can understand how
[38:06]
seemingly significant pieces
[38:10]
information can be aggregated.
[38:11]
And what that bring forth. So
[38:14]
I'm not here simply because
[38:16]
constitutional Burr order
[38:16]
repeats some argument that
[38:18]
you've probably already heard.
[38:19]
I want to look at this risk
[38:19]
created by collecting and
[38:21]
retaining this data from a
[38:23]
different for I'm sorry from a
[38:24]
few different angles that I
[38:25]
don't think I've received
[38:27]
enough attention and public
[38:28]
conversation maybe in private,
[38:29]
but I'm going to say it out
[38:32]
loud, atf. He training
[38:33]
otherwise known as
[38:34]
Anti-Terrorism Force
[38:35]
Protection teaches us to
[38:36]
recognize patterns and protect
[38:39]
information routines.
[38:42]
Routines, minimize or digital
[38:44]
footprints and avoid
[38:45]
unnecessarily. Revealing.
[38:46]
>> Where we live, where we
[38:46]
work. When we arrive, what our
[38:49]
daily patterns look like.
[38:50]
>> We do that because he's
[38:52]
individually harmless pieces
[38:52]
of information can become
[38:53]
valuable intelligence when
[38:58]
aggregated. We were literally
[38:59]
stuck, told to stop using fit
[38:59]
bits well on base because they
[39:02]
map out our movements. Now, I
[39:03]
understand that all these
[39:05]
items mention aren't collected
[39:07]
by flock and that a single
[39:08]
picture of a license plate on
[39:10]
the road is not particularly
[39:11]
revealing, but thousands of
[39:14]
them paint a different story.
[39:15]
And the Supreme Court just
[39:17]
ruled on recently with the
[39:19]
Carter case. Now play that
[39:20]
concern here in Jacksonville.
[39:22]
We have an enormous military
[39:24]
presence. If a foreign
[39:25]
adversary associates, a person
[39:27]
of interest with the vehicle
[39:29]
and license plate access to
[39:30]
retain lpr data or active
[39:31]
feeds could turn into ordinary
[39:32]
traffic. And answer
[39:35]
observations. And, you know,
[39:35]
understand. I appreciate and
[39:36]
thank you for your service.
[39:37]
Congrats in retirement. That
[39:40]
option. After she's going Chad
[39:46]
Charland. I get absentee and
[39:50]
Latasha hops my address file.
[39:51]
>> I want to take a minute a
[39:52]
moment to speak about the
[39:53]
importance of flock cameras in
[39:56]
Jacksonville. As a mother of a
[39:56]
murdered child. My son,
[40:00]
Maurice Hobbs. As a mother of
[40:01]
a murdered child fighting for
[40:05]
justice for my son. Maurice, I
[40:07]
understand firsthand how
[40:08]
critical evidence can be when
[40:10]
the family searching for
[40:12]
answers. According to the
[40:13]
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office,
[40:14]
as I stated at the last agenda
[40:18]
meeting at City Hall. And the
[40:19]
license plate reader cameras
[40:24]
have helped saw 15 murders. 17
[40:25]
kidnappings, 6 forcible sex
[40:31]
offenses. Nearly 100 shootings
[40:33]
and 172 missing person cases
[40:35]
since 2024, those are not just
[40:40]
numbers. They represent
[40:40]
families who need answers.
[40:42]
Victims who needed justice and
[40:46]
lives that were saved. I fully
[40:47]
support the continued use of
[40:49]
flock cameras because I
[40:51]
believe public safety and
[40:54]
accountability matter. I'm
[40:55]
advocating to keep it locked
[40:56]
cameras in use because I know
[40:57]
what it feels like when the
[40:57]
families left searching for
[40:59]
Justice. I will continue
[41:02]
fighting for Murray's. I will
[41:02]
continue fighting for other
[41:04]
families who deserve answers
[41:07]
when violence into their
[41:08]
lives. If technology can help
[41:09]
law enforcement identify
[41:13]
suspects. Violent criminals,
[41:15]
murderers locate missing
[41:17]
people, recover evidence and
[41:18]
bring justice to families. And
[41:19]
I believe we should continue
[41:21]
investing in it while also
[41:23]
ensuring appropriate
[41:25]
safeguards and accountability.
[41:27]
My son was robbed of his life.
[41:30]
I was robbed of my son. My
[41:30]
children robbed of their
[41:33]
brother. I'll be d#
[41:33]
#
[41:33]
#
[41:33]
#
[41:34]
#
[41:34]
if I
[41:36]
let anyone Rodney of his
[41:38]
justice and justice for other
[41:39]
families. Please keep up. The
[41:42]
flock cameras. Thank you for
[41:45]
your time. Go to action.

[42:08]
want to drive from my home in
[42:09]
Fernandina through Nassau and
[42:11]
into Duval is I routinely do I
[42:12]
am under constant surveillance
[42:13]
from a network of flock
[42:14]
cameras installed by local
[42:15]
police and sheriff's
[42:17]
department. I am treated like
[42:19]
a suspect. The mass
[42:19]
surveillance is unwarranted
[42:21]
and performed without any
[42:22]
reasonable suspicion. It is
[42:23]
only a matter of time before
[42:24]
this technology is turned on
[42:26]
people like meat and I say
[42:27]
people like meeting people in
[42:29]
the political minority. I am
[42:31]
non party affiliated, but I
[42:31]
oppose big tech and flock
[42:33]
cameras and data centers. I
[42:35]
support and Florida law
[42:37]
enforcement to 87 agreements
[42:38]
with ice. And for doing all of
[42:40]
this, I'm considered an enemy
[42:41]
of the state as spelled out in
[42:42]
a presidential executive
[42:44]
order. I subject myself to
[42:45]
additional tracking and
[42:45]
targeting by speaking out at
[42:48]
meetings like this, giving my
[42:51]
home address to the very
[42:51]
companies with a technology
[42:52]
capable of tracking my every
[42:54]
move. I'm an honest, I'm also
[42:55]
an environmentalist and it has
[42:57]
been proven that the state of
[42:59]
Florida through the Fish and
[43:00]
Wildlife Commission has been
[43:00]
using privilege. Law
[43:01]
enforcement tracking data and
[43:04]
tools to illegally and without
[43:04]
cause investigate.
[43:05]
Environmentalist in the state.
[43:07]
I'm a target. The people in
[43:10]
this room are targets. These
[43:12]
cameras make it easier for big
[43:12]
tech in law enforcement and
[43:14]
corporations to target track,
[43:15]
harass us GOD knows what else
[43:18]
in the future. The first
[43:19]
responsibility of government
[43:20]
is to protect the people. You
[43:22]
can protect the people by
[43:22]
removing these mass
[43:23]
surveillance cameras. Thank
[43:27]
you. Albert Stern followed by
[43:34]
Dragon late. Name is Albert
[43:39]
Stern. My address is on file.
[43:40]
>> Having this meeting, thank
[43:40]
you for looking at the
[43:44]
moratorium. Please do There's
[43:45]
a lot of concerns and I am
[43:47]
deeply concerned about the men
[43:48]
surveillance tape
[43:48]
specifically. I want to speak
[43:53]
about the flock camera company
[43:53]
specifically. This company has
[43:54]
created a system that has been
[43:57]
abuse throughout the country.
[43:59]
Even here in the state of
[44:00]
Florida where people are using
[44:01]
it inappropriately to stalk
[44:08]
people. It is clear that that
[44:09]
company he's not a serious
[44:10]
security company. You wouldn't
[44:13]
make something like that.
[44:14]
Their ceo, its kind on record
[44:14]
saying that they've made
[44:18]
mistakes. But I ask it is to
[44:21]
think about that company. They
[44:22]
have been they are funded and
[44:23]
their their startup funds
[44:25]
comes from places like y
[44:26]
Combinator Marc and Resist
[44:28]
group. They're a tech company
[44:29]
like every other tech company.
[44:30]
They're gonna play by those
[44:31]
rules. Once you get hooked on
[44:33]
the heroine of this, they're
[44:34]
going to change the price
[44:38]
structure. They're gonna
[44:39]
change. But the offer you and
[44:40]
then the cameras going to be
[44:41]
up there and it's gonna be too
[44:41]
expensive. And what you can
[44:42]
do, you can take him down
[44:45]
thing. The other thing about
[44:46]
companies, if they get hacked,
[44:47]
every tech company gets
[44:50]
hacked. This is a tech
[44:50]
company. It's not a security
[44:53]
company. Thank you. Very much,
[44:54]
Sir. Blight.
[45:04]
>> Followed by. Casey Jones.
[45:06]
>> Hey, everybody, I'm driving
[45:07]
below my addresses on file.
[45:08]
And as you know, I've been
[45:08]
advocating about this for
[45:11]
several months now. So I think
[45:14]
it's really interesting that
[45:14]
we think that we shouldn't
[45:15]
rush into a decision, but they
[45:18]
showed up overnight dishes,
[45:19]
the people installing them. By
[45:20]
the way, I've seen dish a
[45:22]
go-around, installing them,
[45:24]
they are installed without
[45:25]
breakway plates at the bottom,
[45:26]
which means if a car hits
[45:28]
them, that metal doesn't move.
[45:28]
And that person in the car
[45:31]
gets very hurt. It's also
[45:32]
really interesting that we
[45:33]
think uk waters will hold off
[45:36]
Tuesday accountable. Charles
[45:37]
Matter, William McNeil Junior,
[45:38]
will Hayden, Asia Bennett have
[45:41]
something else to say on that?
[45:43]
We have a lot of concerns of
[45:44]
people that can't be here. I
[45:46]
actually have a list of the
[45:49]
concerns that I've put in on
[45:51]
file for all the people that
[45:52]
couldn't be here because it's
[45:54]
10:30am. I understand we have
[45:55]
to do it sometime, right. But
[45:56]
a lot of people are working
[45:57]
right now into the working
[45:58]
people that are being tracked
[46:02]
every day. Usually couldn't
[46:04]
come here. Also, if you're
[46:06]
other counties are doing.
[46:06]
Pasco County has just canceled
[46:08]
its entire flock contract even
[46:10]
after the purchase of several
[46:12]
flock drones and the
[46:13]
replacement contract with
[46:14]
Axon. It is not just flock is
[46:17]
also acts on is also Motorola.
[46:18]
Again, these are tech
[46:18]
companies, not security
[46:20]
companies, and they are not
[46:22]
secure. Ben Jordan is a guy on
[46:24]
YouTube, right? He's not
[46:26]
exactly a huge ways, but he's
[46:27]
able to hack into these
[46:28]
cameras within about 15
[46:32]
seconds. I don't want to know
[46:34]
what people that do this as
[46:35]
their job and as the way they
[46:38]
make money illicitly or
[46:40]
otherwise can do with that
[46:41]
camera, that data and that
[46:44]
database. I am very concerned
[46:46]
about the safety and security
[46:46]
of Jacksonville. I am very
[46:49]
concerned about the fact I
[46:49]
have within a mile of my
[46:54]
house. Literally more than 20.
[46:57]
I they are pointed at
[46:58]
children's homes. They're
[47:00]
pointed apartment complexes.
[47:03]
They are pointed at public
[47:04]
pools. These should not be
[47:05]
used for this purpose. And I
[47:10]
don't think we can. Casey
[47:14]
Jones followed by it Gonzalez.
[47:19]
>> I don't. Casey 7 to 5.
[47:21]
First re South Jacks Beach.
[47:24]
All the trust that we the
[47:28]
people have. They're all lost
[47:32]
every bit. We're being
[47:32]
tracked.
[47:35]
>> I mean, is this is super
[47:35]
scary.
[47:37]
>> So we the people that want
[47:39]
them gone. We don't want to
[47:40]
restricted. We don't want to
[47:41]
if you can't do what you're
[47:42]
supposed to do and what is
[47:47]
that? What are you supposed to
[47:47]
You go to you that the cops
[47:51]
want to do what? They want to
[47:52]
look at. They want to track
[47:52]
you. They want to see gps.
[47:54]
Want to see your Google,
[47:55]
whatever. That's what they got
[47:57]
to do. It. Everybody knows
[47:59]
what they got to do. So so let
[48:03]
me ask you a question. How is
[48:04]
the government dancing all
[48:09]
over the 4th Amendment? Does
[48:10]
anybody know that they're
[48:11]
they're dancing on the
[48:12]
Constitution because they're
[48:17]
using a 3rd party. That's what
[48:18]
they're doing. And nobody at
[48:19]
of all the people to speak.
[48:21]
And I appreciate everybody
[48:22]
speaks, but nobody's vote of
[48:24]
the Constitution in the 4th
[48:27]
Amendment. This is what it's
[48:30]
all about. They're dancing on
[48:31]
the Constitution and the 4th
[48:31]
Amendment because they're
[48:35]
using a 3rd party. So let let
[48:36]
me let me there was the clock
[48:43]
at. 30 yeah minute. 26. So let
[48:45]
let me quote our great
[48:46]
governor state of Florida. And
[48:47]
I know there's people on both
[48:49]
sides. There's people on both
[48:53]
sides that are against it. Not
[48:54]
eliminating But let me let me
[48:56]
quote our great governor. I
[48:59]
think.
[49:00]
>> These and these mean.
[49:04]
>> The lpr. The license tag
[49:06]
reader. He just got Cody
[49:08]
yesterday. I think these
[49:09]
licensed Hagley Road are out
[49:13]
of control. That's what he The
[49:15]
videos up on my Facebook page.
[49:16]
So that's to answer. They are
[49:20]
out of control.
[49:21]
>> It here, Gonzalez followed
[49:30]
by Robert Jeffers.
[49:32]
>> Good Morning. Council
[49:32]
members MAY need to hear
[49:33]
Gonzalez. I'm a graduate
[49:33]
public student at the
[49:37]
University of North Florida.
[49:40]
I'm here to talk about
[49:40]
cameras. So the recently has
[49:43]
said that we should compromise
[49:44]
or privacy just so we can
[49:45]
operate these cameras. I think
[49:47]
that is a crazy statement to
[49:49]
say, I says a student. I want
[49:52]
to talk about how. We
[49:53]
shouldn't compromise our
[49:57]
privacy just so we can solve
[49:58]
murders and kidnappings. Know
[49:59]
I do have empathy and
[50:00]
sympathize with you that your
[50:01]
son was murdered. I'm so sorry
[50:04]
that happened to you. But i
[50:04]
think you know, so we should
[50:07]
get to the bottom. The roots
[50:08]
of this problem of why Jackson
[50:10]
has so much crime lie. We have
[50:12]
so much King inflated
[50:14]
activity, I think instead of
[50:15]
installing more rising our
[50:17]
privacy. We should instead get
[50:21]
to the root problem. And have
[50:23]
more prevent violence
[50:25]
prevention programs and we
[50:27]
shouldn't have that money and
[50:29]
serve spending flock cameras.
[50:32]
We should spend that money
[50:32]
more and after-school
[50:33]
programs, things to prevent
[50:34]
violence, having community
[50:34]
members going to the
[50:37]
community. And just spend it
[50:40]
more where the money should be
[50:42]
spent. I think having flock
[50:43]
cameras as a waste of taxpayer
[50:45]
money, we could use it to
[50:48]
solve the homelessness v every
[50:49]
I worked myself, I every time
[50:50]
I go to class, I see a
[50:54]
homeless person and it's just
[50:56]
it's not cool to have that
[50:57]
many as big as big as
[50:58]
Jacksonville is. We should
[51:00]
have this many homeless
[51:01]
people. I also volunteered at
[51:03]
a food pantry recently and so
[51:07]
many people have to go and get
[51:10]
So I think we can also try to
[51:16]
lower grocery prices. But
[51:17]
Robert Jeffers followed by
[51:23]
Andrew Scott.
[51:24]
>> Good Morning Council. Thank
[51:24]
you for what you get is
[51:25]
meeting. My name is Robert
[51:28]
addresses on file. This MAY be
[51:29]
the reference to some people
[51:30]
but many people have gotten up
[51:31]
here and talk about what to
[51:33]
say. I can do, right.
[51:34]
Hollywood has given us the
[51:37]
script. We know what can do.
[51:38]
When it when it is not put to
[51:42]
good use. Hollywood is gave us
[51:44]
a script. What can happen
[51:45]
right? And we all know that it
[51:46]
might be funny to some people,
[51:49]
but it's not. I haven't taken
[51:50]
a stance for dance because I
[51:51]
think there's some very good
[51:52]
things that can come out of
[51:53]
flock cameras. I think that
[51:54]
there's very good things come
[51:56]
of. And I do believe in that.
[51:56]
But then whenever it is used
[51:59]
in a negative light. Problems
[52:00]
can occur right in the privacy
[52:02]
of our citizens are at risk
[52:03]
and it can potentially harm us
[52:07]
as a society. My problem is,
[52:08]
is it this is a reaction. All
[52:10]
right. This meeting is a
[52:11]
reaction. There's thousands of
[52:13]
flock cameras or the state of
[52:15]
Florida right? Where was the
[52:15]
protections at the beginning
[52:16]
when this stuff started coming
[52:18]
out to say, hey, we don't want
[52:19]
that, that our state
[52:20]
government not come together
[52:23]
and say, hey. He's going to
[52:24]
start. He's sort of stalling
[52:25]
this and what protections are
[52:27]
going to put before we start
[52:28]
mass installing these all the
[52:31]
way across our state. This is
[52:32]
a very reactive instead
[52:34]
instead of a proactive staying
[52:35]
right. So now it's here. Now
[52:36]
we have to deal with it. So
[52:37]
now we're trying to figure out
[52:38]
how to deal with it.
[52:39]
>> So from here on out, I just
[52:40]
want a statement. Let's be
[52:41]
proactive. Jacksonville. I'm
[52:43]
tired of being aggressive.
[52:44]
Okay. We start thinking about
[52:46]
things in the past and and how
[52:47]
and how we want to move
[52:48]
forward. But we can't we can't
[52:51]
move forward if we're being
[52:53]
reactive, we need to be
[52:54]
progressive and be on the
[52:55]
forefront of this. This this
[52:57]
this this is a terrible it's
[52:58]
great. We're looking at this
[53:01]
and put a moratorium in place.
[53:04]
Believe, but we need to be
[53:04]
progressive and this and not
[53:07]
reactive. Thank you. And under
[53:08]
Scott followed by Deo
[53:21]
Cummings.
[53:22]
>> Good Morning. My name is
[53:22]
Andrew Scott. Why addresses on
[53:27]
file? I've been software
[53:28]
developer manager for 15
[53:29]
years, worked in computer
[53:34]
vision machine learning. So on
[53:35]
a little bit familiar with
[53:38]
this and like this is how you
[53:39]
could please surveillance
[53:40]
tape. This is basically a
[53:45]
package deal. This is the data
[53:47]
set that anyone who wanted to.
[53:52]
Abuse would dream of. It is.
[53:54]
All the state is on aws.
[53:55]
Jack's MAY own it, but they
[54:01]
will not control it. And I
[54:03]
found online search saying
[54:04]
that basically jso is extended
[54:05]
their digger attention for a
[54:11]
year. A year's worth of data.
[54:12]
Flock since they're coming
[54:15]
under fire is actually going
[54:15]
back and recommended 7 days as
[54:17]
a recommendation. Think about
[54:19]
what you could do with
[54:26]
everyone's traffic data.
[54:26]
Correlating that with any
[54:40]
other data set would. Crazy?
[54:41]
So yeah, and I didn't even
[54:42]
know before that that they had
[54:45]
been given access to Dave The
[54:46]
in the information. So that's
[54:50]
another data set. But I just
[54:52]
I'm really concerned about
[54:53]
this because their tech
[54:54]
company, all the protections
[54:55]
in place, it can still be
[54:56]
hacked. It will be hacked. It
[54:59]
will be abused. And the data
[55:06]
there. And we have no say it.
[55:07]
Deal. Cummings followed by
[55:18]
John Uni.
[55:19]
>> And we do have to cut off
[55:20]
more. This is last week on a
[55:21]
card that hey, we gotta we
[55:22]
gotta kind of go through
[55:23]
public comment that I got a
[55:24]
few more comments. I'm gonna
[55:26]
make me have to adjourn. Go
[55:26]
ahead, sir. Give 2 minutes.
[55:27]
All right. Good morning. My
[55:27]
name is Dale Cummings
[55:30]
addresses on file. So I think
[55:32]
there are 2 questions that
[55:32]
have not yet been answered at
[55:35]
a very critical that's number
[55:36]
one.
[55:38]
>> What is the actual efficacy
[55:40]
in solving cases, crimes,
[55:41]
etcetera. Number 2, how
[55:43]
necessary our these devices in
[55:44]
doing so. So there's not a lot
[55:48]
of data out there. And earlier
[55:49]
this month, jso posted on x
[55:52]
and presumably elsewhere,
[55:56]
number of cases of summer
[55:56]
criminals somewhere people
[55:59]
missing so on and so forth of
[56:00]
cases that were solved through
[56:02]
the use of help ERs.
[56:02]
Interesting, but doesn't tell
[56:04]
me a whole lot. So I did a
[56:08]
little digging. Turns out in
[56:11]
2024, in MAY, they actually
[56:14]
posted jso. Likewise on x and
[56:15]
other social media of a
[56:16]
particular case of a shooting
[56:20]
in the Hogan Creek area where
[56:22]
there ended up being no, no
[56:23]
fatalities, no injuries. But
[56:24]
there was a bullet that into a
[56:27]
school bus full of children.
[56:29]
They credited these devices in
[56:31]
solving the case. And I think
[56:32]
the problem comes with the
[56:35]
word solved. So I did a little
[56:37]
more digging and I went to
[56:38]
that Duval clerk and I started
[56:39]
digging up because they posted
[56:41]
the names and I read the
[56:43]
charging document as it turns
[56:45]
out all of the information
[56:47]
that they would have needed to
[56:49]
arrest the 2 individuals that
[56:52]
they did came from witnesses.
[56:54]
Witnesses said this person did
[56:55]
it. This person did it. This
[56:56]
is what they were wearing.
[56:57]
This is the vehicle they got
[56:58]
in. This is a location that
[56:59]
they went to the cameras.
[57:02]
We're just supplemental. Well,
[57:05]
there's more to that story
[57:06]
because I did a little more
[57:09]
digging and it turns out the 2
[57:09]
individuals at the time one
[57:12]
was 23. When was 17, the 17
[57:13]
year-old unfortunately passed
[57:17]
away earlier this year.
[57:18]
Circumstances are unknown, but
[57:19]
I can only presume if you're
[57:20]
involved in a shootout when
[57:21]
you're 17, that doesn't leave
[57:24]
you a very long life. The
[57:25]
other individual had their
[57:27]
charges dropped 2 minutes,
[57:30]
sir. Yes, thank you so much,
[57:31]
Jon. Uni followed by. Sean
[57:37]
Costello. Not seeing John. Any
[57:38]
is John Costello in audience
[57:44]
for the room. Hello. My name
[57:45]
is Sean Costello. Mattresses
[57:47]
on file. I think some of the
[57:47]
previous speakers are you
[57:49]
cover this? But just to
[57:50]
reiterate, there's a flaw
[57:53]
camera pointed at a community
[57:55]
pool as a premier apartments.
[57:57]
And I notice that during this,
[57:59]
you know, meeting today and
[58:03]
also all of flocks official
[58:03]
information they're referred
[58:06]
to as license plate readers.
[58:06]
So it seems little bit like a
[58:07]
reflect to me that we're
[58:08]
calling them license plate
[58:09]
readers by some of that work
[58:10]
point. It in a spot where they
[58:13]
would not be reading any
[58:14]
license plates. And one of the
[58:15]
speaker also mention that it's
[58:18]
important that we understand
[58:18]
how these cameras are being
[58:20]
used, but also I think it
[58:21]
support understand what
[58:24]
they're capable of and again,
[58:25]
like previous speakers have
[58:26]
mentioned with ai. With a
[58:29]
capable of today MAY be
[58:31]
different. What the people of
[58:31]
tomorrow. So it's probably
[58:37]
quite a difficult task to.
[58:38]
Clear what they're capable I
[58:39]
think it's really important
[58:44]
for the council. Thank you.
[58:46]
Thank you, Nick Harding
[58:49]
followed by Zeri Davis. On out
[58:53]
there and overflow court.
[58:54]
Number. You're at 11 30, I'll
[58:57]
able to extend it You know,
[58:58]
you know, you are noticed Hill
[59:00]
30 I apologize that can we
[59:00]
can. We can only public
[59:03]
comment and then. And that
[59:05]
means you are outside of
[59:09]
public notice. Let's all stick
[59:10]
around. We are going to we're
[59:11]
going to during this meeting
[59:12]
will stick around and
[59:14]
>> talk to anyone that has any
[59:15]
more comments. We had a number
[59:18]
of comment cards left. I want
[59:19]
to thank my colleagues for
[59:21]
being here today. This is
[59:22]
incredibly important. I do
[59:24]
intend to continue to move
[59:24]
forward. I'm very concerned
[59:25]
about these devices, but I do
[59:28]
want to make sure that jso is
[59:29]
a major role to play in making
[59:31]
sure that they're able to to.
[59:32]
Continue solve crimes. But
[59:34]
there is a there's a line to
[59:37]
beat walked when it comes to
[59:39]
personal security. Personal
[59:42]
privacy and law enforcement.
[59:43]
So there'll be more to come in
[59:44]
this conversation. I'm here to
[59:49]
stick around that. Thanks. If
[59:51]
you did not get a chance to
[59:52]
speak, you can't know you can
[59:53]
email me directly j Peluso Pl
[59:55]
