Very well said sir they are a great tool, folks don't understand if they have cell phone in their pocket// you might say they have a more advanced flock to talk in their possession. Talk about being followed, to use the new restrooms in downtown Seattle you have to have an app on your phone to enter the said restroom the reader takes your information and stores it then if you spend to much time it kicks you out and if the next user reports said toilet dirty it comes up with your name ( phone ) that is and has been logged into the system. Question why are folks afraid of a camera and not a toilet?

Have the flocks solved the flock cutters yet? I haven't seen any updates on the aftermath of them being cut down.

If it can help I have no problem with Flock cameras! There are cameras watching from almost everywhere. Even from low orbit satellite 🛰️📡 that can see you walk out your door 🚪

I have no personal problem with or fear of Flock cameras. Much more likely to help than harm me.

How many have been convicted?

You had visual before the camera's.doesnt sense

As a retired police officer with 33 years in law enforcement, I have seen policing change dramatically as new investigative tools became available. In my experience, few technologies have offered investigators the kind of practical assistance that automated license plate reader systems such as Flock can provide. I compare Flocks significance as an investigative aid to the impact DNA evidence had when it became widely available.

The good they have done far outweighs the bad for me. However, I lead a boring life, no tickets, no accidents, no criminal record.

Ryan Wisner, you make it sound so great, but the fact is flock cameras are unconstitutional a violation of our constitutional rights and people are gonna petition to have them taken down not to mention the fact that we never voted on them. my question to you is, if you’ve had cameras are so great, why don’t you guys get body cams? I’m talking about the Yakima police. Every other police department is wearing body cameras. Why don’t you guys? I also believe there are used for police to profile others with.

You know what else is a good "tool" for law enforcement? Slapping ankle bracelets on everyone or, better yet, microchipping us all! If you've "got nothing to hide", yeah?... We'd be SUPER safe! Woo-hoo! Derp. /Live free

Policing without the need for warrants would be easier, too, but that isn't how things work in America.

I think it's hilarious that every other day the police or the Yakima Sheriff's Office are making posts trying to sell everyone on the idea of flock cams, even though they were put up without citizens voting on it, and most people don't want it. Why are they pushing them so hard? The answer is simple, kickbacks. Not to mention the more "crimes" people are put in jail for, the more the city makes, or the more private prisons make. Not to mention all the nefarious things police are using flock cams for, like stalking their exes or arresting the wrong people. A federal judge also ruled they are unconstitutional because you are tracking someone...and yet our city has not taken them down.

Use of Flock or Axon networks should require a warrant signed by a judge, period! No private parties should have access to these networks, period!

There are enough bad people. Law enforcement needs all the help they can get.

The only success with Flock will be when they stop being used

🖕🏼 When did we become a surveillance state?

I support the police and flock.

Stop trying to justify mass surveillance. Get a damn warrant if you want to watch someone. Why does Yakima have exponentially more Flock cameras than other places of comparable population? If comparable crime rates?

Nope. Sorry if this is what blue is pushing. I’m not backing the blue anymore. Flock is NOT a “surveillance tool” it is a far overreaching violation of privacy. It may make policing EASIER for the police, but at a great expense. If you are willing to trade your freedom for safety you will get neither. Take the cameras down and get out of positions of power, people like this who promote the usage of such tools. Go do police work yourself, like my dad did and his buddies. Stop promoting the violation of our rights.

These are unconstitutional and serve no purpose some of you disagree that tbey can help this is a misuse, wait till it happens to you

It’s amazing watching YSO and YPD absolutely trash their reputations with the public in order to hold onto that flock contract…  Hope your traitorous efforts were worth it… 

Holy George Orwell, Batman! Go flock yourself. Like I need another reason to avoid Yakivegas. Just put a big border fence around it. Add some barbed wire. Guard stations, armed checkpoints. Have your papers ready, please.

Thank You YPD🇺🇸🇺🇸
