Subject: Public Comment/ Formal Opposition to Flock Safety ALPR Cameras Some people who received this message don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear Rancho Palos Verdes City Clerk and City Council Members, 1 am writing to formally voice my strong opposition to the city's continued funding and deployment of Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. As a local resident, I am deeply concerned about the widespread collection of my daily travel data and the long-term implications this surveillance technology has on our community's privacy.
My primary concerns focus heavily on data security, data governance, and the specific protection of our personal information:
• Data Exploitation and Tracking: The constant logging of license plates creates a highly invasive tracking map of law-abiding citizens. I am deeply uncomfortable with my everyday movements being captured, uploaded, and stored simply for moving through my own neighborhood. • Access and Oversight: I am concerned about who ultimately maintains access to this sensitive data ledger. While the city points to restricted law enforcement use, the potential for data misuse, unauthorized access, or creeping expansion of data-sharing practices remains a significant risk. • Security Vulnerabilities: Storing thousands of data points in a centralized cloud network creates a lucrative target for bad actors. If a data breach or cyberattack occurs, our private location histories could be exposed.
Given these severe privacy and safety risks, I would appreciate explicit clarification from the City Council on how the city intends to protect our data moving forward. Specifically:
1. What strict, independent auditing protocols are in place to ensure that data is definitively purged after 30 days and never used for unauthorized tracking?
2. What legal or financial liabilities does the city assume if a participating HOA's Flock network experiences a data breach that compromises residents' private information? Mass surveillance should not be the default path to public safety in Rancho Palos Verdes. I ask that the City Council re-evaluate its reimbursement grant program and halt the expansion of these camera networks until independent oversight and ironclad data privacy protections are legally guaranteed.
Please accept this email as an official public comment and include it in the record for the next scheduled City Council meeting.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community. 1 Sincerely,
Thu Hoai Yanase
