CC: St. Louis and that new SLMPD drone contract. With state control and the death of CCOPS, they have no incentive to be honest with us about their capacity and usage.
Right now, the only thing holding back most police from deploying armed drones and robots is the policies of companies and the social stigma surrounding the issue. Neither of these will hold forever. We need regulation. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Lawmakers Must Act Now to Prevent Armed Police Drones
This is not science fiction. It’s not premature. If towns, cities, states, or the federal government want to act to reign in the emergence of armed police drones and robots, we have precious little

In this thread we incorrectly posted that Council member Kelsea Bond would be introducing Community Control Over Police Surveillance legislation.
Council member Jason Dozier took his previously introduced ALPR legislation and amended that Monday to align more closely with ACLU’s CCOPS.

2024 was a bad year for surveillance in San Francisco. But EFF will continue the fight to ensure technology aids, rather than hinders, safety and equity for all people.

The SLMPD used to have their ALPR use plan available online so the public could see exactly what they had (thanks taxpayers) and how it was supposed to be used. They've deleted that transparency site. But the plan came through the #stlboa thanks to CCOPS-as of 2024 www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/c...

APD's surveillance program launched in 2007 w/ 17 cameras. Today, ~ 60K cameras are linked to local law enforcement. When police collect massive amounts of data about us, it can be sold, hacked, or misused. So we're advocating for a "CCOPS" ordinance in Atlanta. Learn more: acluga.org/popatl.

After months of conversations with the mayor’s office, community, and coalition partners, we again spoke before ATL City Council to push for a ‘CCOPS’ ordinance that would give Atlantans more control over police surveillance tech decisions (from contracts w/ Flock to the purchase of new AI tools).

Milwaukee must have input into whether and how invasive surveillance technologies are deployed against residents, how data is stored and shared with third parties, and whether spending our limited tax dollars on surveillance technologies actually creates safer communities. #CCOPS

The ACLU is not leading anything. Tens of thousands of people are demanding an end to the use of ALPRS and other surveillance. Your Flock toolkit outlines how ALPRs can be regulated. We want these cameras out, not regulated. CCOPs doesn't stop surveillance. CCOPs is just job security for the ACLU.
