The ACLU of Iowa is holding a community meeting on Wed, Oct 28 from 6:30-7:30 pm at DMACC Building 24-Health Sciences for residents interested in learning more about Ankeny's use of Flock cameras. We will discuss city-specific information and what residents can do to curb mass surveillance in Ankeny.

Here's a registration link (not required to attend, but helpful for estimating attendance and follow-up communications)

More and more examples of the harms posed by Flock cameras and other automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are coming to light every day. Mistaken plate scans result in guns drawn, police track their romantic partners, and federal agencies search our data for their own purposes. In the midst of this, cities around the country are rejecting the use of these cameras. Ankeny should join them.
