“The idea of keeping a location dossier on every single person just in case one of us turns out to be a criminal is just about the most un-American approach to privacy I can imagine.”

SIGN THE PETITION TO BAN FLOCK NOW!
Every time you get behind the wheel, someone may be recording where you go…
When you drive to church.
When you take your family out for dinner.
When you stop by the gun store.
When you pick your children up from school.
Across Kentucky, Flock cameras are quickly expanding their reach. These automated surveillance systems record the license plate of every passing vehicle and create a searchable record of where law-abiding Kentuckians travel every single day.
No warrant. No probable cause. Just the constant surveillance of innocent Kentuckians.
That is why I introduced HB 375 to ban Flock cameras and every similar surveillance system that threatens the privacy and freedom of Kentuckians last session, and will continue to protect your Fourth Amendment rights from any unwarranted spying.
Technology changes, our rights don’t.
But I need your help before we get to Frankfort.
Sign the petition to show your support for privacy rights!
The Fourth Amendment was written to protect us from unreasonable government searches and surveillance.
The Founding Fathers understood that a free people should not have to live under the government's constant surveillance every time they leave their homes.
But look at where we are headed… Once your movements are recorded, they can be stored for months or even years. They can be shared with other agencies and searched whenever government officials decide they want to know where you have been.
I refuse to accept a future where the government can quietly build a record of your daily life without your knowledge or your consent.
We don’t have much time to stop this surveillance state before it becomes permanent.
Join me on the front lines and let’s ban mass surveillance in Kentucky!
18 law enforcement officers in the Peach State have been arrested for misusing Flock Safety camera data in what seems to be a deeply concerning trend, highlighting the need for stricter oversight of mass surveillance technologies.

"Flock cameras don't just identify criminals — they create a database documenting where law-abiding citizens worship, seek medical care, conduct business, and travel."
"That is fundamentally incompatible with a free society," he said.

Relying on the government to investigate the government because of things the government did that the government was never authorized to do?
Sounds pretty dumb, doesn’t it?
Dangerous too
I’ll soon be sponsoring a bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock (and other style) cameras to surveil law abiding citizens.
The federal government shouldn’t provide “security” grants to cities and police departments that have decided to go beyond the pale and turn their communities into a version of 1984.

Cities across the US are rejecting Flock license plate readers, canceling contracts, and deactivating systems over privacy fears. newsweek.com/map-cities-rej…
Flock cameras create a mosaic of government surveillance. They are an invasion of privacy.
They degrade the presumption of innocence and negate the process of getting a warrant.
It’s time to put a stop to endless government surveillance⛓️💥
Grateful to FOX56 for giving me an opportunity to share my perspective.
