Surveillance is expanding in our neighborhoods, from drones and license plate readers to cameras powered by artificial intelligence. These technologies can track our movements, collect massive amounts of data, and put immigrant families and communities of color at greater risk. And as Al becomes more powerful, the potential for abuse only grows. At Chispa, we're fighting back. We're organizing for transparency, accountability, and strong guardrails that protect our communities from unchecked surveillance. 👁️ Join Chispa's Surveillance Committee and help us fight for a future without surveillance. 🔗 Sign up at the link in our IG bio @ chispa.oc #Chispa #OrangeCounty #Flock #Surveillance #FlockOutofOC

Councilmember Jessie Lopez raised concerns about the Flock and Motorola contracts over a year ago when the City Council Majority voted to approve both contracts. Santa Ana Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) data has been shared with federal government agencies. This is a violation of state law. Councilmember Jessie Lopez warned the Council this would happen but Mayor Valerie Amezcua and Councilmembers David Penaloza, Phil Bacerra, and Thai Viet Phan looked the other way and approved the contracts anyway. ALPR cameras are tracking our every move. Where we worship. Where we drop our kids off at school. Where we shop. Where we work. Now, federal agencies have access to this information thanks to the Council surveillance majority. #SantaAna #Flock #ALPR #FlockOutofSantaAna #JessieLopez Follow: @Jessie Lopez
