So don't feel 24 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,440 like you have to read from that email. 25 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,759 If you'd like to expound upon that, that 26 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,079 purpose is fine. for the floor to us. 27 00:16:50,079 --> 00:16:52,079 >> Thank you. Appreciate it. Uh, Chair 28 00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:54,320 Mercer and other council members. Uh, I 29 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,079 come in here today bearing bad news, 30 00:16:56,079 --> 00:16:58,079 which is if you drove here from your 31 00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:00,480 homes, each of you was recorded and your 32 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,079 whereabouts log in a government 33 00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:04,480 sponsored database. Some of you who live 34 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,720 close by are luckily lucky to only have 35 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,280 been recorded once. Um, but if 36 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,000 Councilwoman Martin Sahoak was here, she 37 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,240 would have been recorded five times on 38 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,439 her five minute drive. Uh, Chair Mercer 39 00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:19,760 and and Councilman Marina were here 40 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,160 would have been uh they would avoid 41 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,319 flock on their short walks to the Clep 42 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,959 Arts Fest next week. Um, but Councilman 43 00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:29,840 Moran uh would be logged four times on 44 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,559 his short drive to Slater Park. I 45 00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:33,919 submitted a letter late last night 46 00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:36,000 expressing my views on why Flock and 47 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,559 other ALPR systems should be removed 48 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:41,039 from the city. If after reading my 49 00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,120 letter, any council members still do not 50 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:46,320 support terminating the flop contract, I 51 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,919 would refer you to the list of questions 52 00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:50,559 I attached to my letter, you should get 53 00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:52,320 answers to those questions from the 54 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,400 police department. 55 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,559 See if you then still believe that flock 56 00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:59,840 belongs in Kentucky. 57 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,120 Sure. 58 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:02,960 And uh by the way, I omitted one 59 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,039 important question in my haste last 60 00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:06,960 night, which is what are the 61 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600 demographics of the registered owners of 62 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,160 the cars who are had inquiries by the 63 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,480 police department with Glock? If the 64 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,240 police department can't answer that 65 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,600 question, then know that your inaction 66 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,799 here likely supports a Jim Crow Arab 67 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:24,960 pole tax, except instead of 68 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,200 disenfranchisement, the penalty for the 69 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,039 people being targeted here are going to 70 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:32,240 be criminal fines and possibly jail time 71 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,480 if this system is not actually being 72 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,200 enforced in a way that is fair to the 73 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,440 citizens of Pucket. So that question 74 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,440 should be added to my questions if any 75 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,200 counselors think that this block system 76 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,600 should remain. I won't go through my 77 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,520 whole letter, but I want to rebut a few 78 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,200 responses that folks may have when they 79 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,080 read it. One response might be, well, 80 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,440 we're being tracked anywhere ever 81 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,240 everywhere anyway, right? We kind of 82 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,880 know this. Unfortunately, that's true, 83 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,760 but it's voluntary. If you download 84 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,919 Facebook on your phone or if you sign up 85 00:19:03,919 --> 00:19:05,679 for a stop and shop card, you're 86 00:19:05,679 --> 00:19:07,760 voluntarily going to be tracked in some 87 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,799 way. Walking out on the street or 88 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:12,640 putting your tires to the pavement is 89 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,559 not a voluntary action that should 90 00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,039 require you to be tracked by the police 91 00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,280 and by a corporate entity who we really 92 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,720 know nothing about what they do to data. 93 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,720 They can say all they want, but I don't 94 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,480 trust it. And as the representatives of 95 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,200 the city, you shouldn't either. This run 96 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,280 a foul. This runs a foul of civil civil 97 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,280 liberties in our society for freedom of 98 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,600 speech, association, and protection from 99 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,120 unlawful searches under the fourth 100 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:37,120 amendment and relevant constitutional 101 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,919 law in Rhode Island. Protect us. The 102 00:19:39,919 --> 00:19:41,679 council has failed to uphold these 103 00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:44,080 American core values by allowing flock 104 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,799 to proceed. But it's not too late. You 105 00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:48,720 can terminate the flock contract and 106 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,960 require the devices to be dismantled 107 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,960 starting today. 108 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,200 That's what you should do. And you 109 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,000 should go back to the ACL's letter, 110 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,720 ACLU's letter that you were sent in 2021 111 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,400 for those of you who were on the board 112 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,320 and refresh yourself on that and look at 113 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,160 the recent events and see if those 114 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,039 warnings actually have come true. 115 00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:10,640 The second and the final response I'll 116 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,520 rebut is that block is used for violent 117 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,039 crimes and these are things we all want 118 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:18,240 to prevent and enforce in our society. 119 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,160 That may be true, but it shouldn't get 120 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,400 in the way of our civil liberties. As 121 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,799 discussed in my letter this summer, a 122 00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:26,960 New Bedford police officer made flock 123 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,480 inquiries of their ex-girlfriend more 124 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,720 than 200 times. 200 inquiries on a 125 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,520 private citizen who they had no basis be 126 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,679 following. That was a personal matter. 127 00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:39,039 And so I'm sure there are many other 128 00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:41,679 matters. Potentially the police 129 00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:43,840 department doesn't like a politician and 130 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,240 wants to track their whereabouts. There could be many others and we won't 131 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,760 know about them because they haven't 132 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,280 come to light. It only came to light 133 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,919 there because the ex-girlfriend filed a 134 00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,919 restraining order. Shouldn't have to 135 00:20:55,919 --> 00:20:57,760 come to a domestic abuse restraining 136 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,159 order to realize that this is a power 137 00:21:00,159 --> 00:21:02,880 that should not be wielded. 138 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,960 Um I just want to conclude um by saying 139 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,200 that as as you've probably seen, 140 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,600 Governor McKe is stopping all new FLOP 141 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,360 systems in the state for a period of 60 142 00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,600 days in order to develop policies and 143 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,600 procedures that would be implemented 144 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,960 statewide, at least for the state 145 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,840 systems. Um, once those policies come 146 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,280 out, this council will have ample 147 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,840 opportunity with, I hope, appropriate 148 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,720 and long periods of public input to 149 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,640 reinstate the block cameras. If you so 150 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,320 choose, you can look at the state 151 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,320 policies, you can approve upon them, but 152 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,320 you need to get public input, I would 153 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,320 submit, before reinstating these 154 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,400 systems. Um for now what is clear is 155 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,200 that the AOPR and other simpl systems 156 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,120 should not be operating in defective 157 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,600 which means terminating the contract and 158 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,360 importantly removing the equipment 159 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,880 because if you terminated the equipment 160 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,280 stays flock will continue to gather data 161 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,799 on their own. So do both. 162 00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:02,080 The residents of Lincoln, Naragansen, 163 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,159 North Kingtown, South Kingtown, Tton, 164 00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:08,799 and Gloucester based upon the decisions 165 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:10,480 of their town councils recently or 166 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,600 police departments themselves to revoke 167 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,760 block contracts in their cities. If 168 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,840 those citizens deserve this freedom from 169 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,600 this invasive, continuous and 170 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,320 indiscriminate surveillance, then the 171 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,120 residents of Pucket deserve the same. I 172 00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,520 ask you to start taking action today. 173 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,029 Thank you. 174 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:35,360 » We have one additional sign up for that. 175 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:35,840 Dr. 176 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:42,789 >> Yes, that's correct.

Uh I'm also 187 00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:08,799 very concerned about the use of flock 188 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:11,039 cameras in Pucket. I mean, this is 189 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:14,240 obviously and truly uh mass government 190 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,400 surveillance at a a scale we haven't 191 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,400 seen before these ALPRs. Um, also happy 192 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,679 to see Rhode Island towns uh cancelling 193 00:23:23,679 --> 00:23:27,200 their flock contracts and taking down uh 194 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,760 their flock cameras in response to the 195 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,880 concerns of their citizens.
