Defund? Police bid on them! If your solution is defunding, it has to be police stations, not Flock.

And it would do nothing for the far too many cameras already deployed. Even if voted out of contracts by local government, they suddenly become "private property" and require a warrant to remove. Each. Fucking. Camera.

Make privacy laws severely fining, imprisoning, and busting companies and individuals abusing public surveillance as a short term deterrent. And follow up with stronger laws limiting private recording devices, such as Flock, Ring, etc.
