NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:

1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution approving and authorizing compensation levels for all classifications, by and with the adoption of the City of Watsonville standalone Salary Schedule, does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

2. That Resolutions No. 187-24 (CM) through 198-24 (CM), approving the salary list for bargaining units including Service Employees International Union Local 521 (SEIU), Mid-Management, Confidential, Management, Executive Team, Operating

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, September 9, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: POLICE CAPTAIN THUL
RECOMMENDED BY: INTERIM POLICE CHIEF RODRIGUEZ
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A 24-MONTH ORDER FORM FOR THE LEASE OF 37 AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS (ALRP) CAMERAS FROM FLOCK GROUP, INC., IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $251,000
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a Resolution authorizing the execution of a two-year order form for the lease of thirtyseven (37) Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Cameras from Flock Group, Inc. (Flock) with an amount not to exceed $251,000 from the General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Cameras and Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology have been used by police agencies to help solve crimes, especially those where an automobile has been used. ALPR technology has continued to evolve and has become less cost-prohibitive. Traditional ALPR systems included expensive fixed camera locations or mobile devices mounted in patrol cars.

Currently, images and video from public and private security systems are critical tools in investigating and gathering information about crime incidents. Our police officers often make multiple visits to businesses and residences after an incident, particularly a violent crime, in search of camera images or video that will help identify suspect vehicles, suspects, and other elements of the crime.

The Watsonville Police Department has been utilizing twenty (20) Flock Safety cameras since September 2023. We are requesting to execute a new contract with Flock, adding an additional seventeen (17) cameras.

1 DISCUSSION:

The Flock Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) System is a deployment of cameras throughout an area to provide greater coverage and more detailed information for law enforcement. The Flock Agreement includes 37 cameras which can be spread throughout the city. Flock cameras capture date, time, location, license plates, vehicle details, as well as other objects. • There are key differences between Flock and other ALPR companies. Most notably, they are the only company that leases ALPR services and all system maintenance is covered by Flock. Another difference is that these cameras capture motion of objects instead of just license plate information.
• Additional benefits of Flock include a two-year warranty, an annual flat rate lease, wireless capability, and the option for solar or direct power. This system is Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant, cloud-based hosting, unlimited user licenses, ongoing software enhancements, camera setup, mounting, shipping, handling, and a cellular connection. Lastly, this lease program prevents the City from being burdened with maintaining costly equipment at the end of the agreement, which could require replacement and additional costs. (Refer to attached 2023 contract for further details) • Since Flock is the sole manufacturer and developer of the Flock Safety Camera, and they are the only vendor who leases ALPR cameras, there are no local vendors available to provide this service.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:

There are privacy concerns regarding the use of data collected by ALPR systems. These concerns were evaluated in a 2020 audit of four California law enforcement agencies; Fresno Police Department, Los Angeles Police Department, Marin County Sheriff’s Office, and Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office. The audit was conducted by the California State Auditor. The audit found that having clear guidelines on how ALPR data is used, it will better protect the privacy of residents.

With this said, the Watsonville Police Department created Policy Section 470 on Automated License Plate Readers. This policy includes a requirement to conduct an annual audit, lists restrictions on the release of the data, and requires training for officers in the use of the ALPR system. Section 470.2 states, “The Watsonville Police Department does not permit the sharing of ALPR data gathered by the City or its contractors/subcontractors for purpose of federal immigration enforcement, pursuant to the California Values Act (Government Code §7282.5;

2 Government Code §7284.2 et seq.)—these federal immigration agencies include Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CPB).” 1 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

The lease/use of Flock Safety Cameras by our Police Department is not a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) as this is an administrative action that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Even if the action were found to be a “project,” it would qualify under the “common sense” CEQA exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with virtual certainty that this Resolution, which concerns the use of technology available to police, will not result in a significant impact on the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

If approved, the thirty-seven (37) Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Cameras will be leased, in an amount not to exceed $251,000. There is $131,000 in FY 25/26 appropriated in the General Fund for this lease, there will be an additional $120,000 requested in the FY 26/27 budget from the General Fund for the balance of this lease to support this project.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The Council may choose to not approve the order form. However, the Watsonville Police Department will not have its own camera technology to assist with solving crimes throughout the city.

470.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance for the capture, storage and use of digital data obtained through the use of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology. 470.2 POLICY
The policy of the Watsonville Police Department is to utilize ALPR technology to capture and store digital license plate data and images while recognizing the established privacy rights of the public.

All data and images gathered by the ALPR are for the official use of this department. Because such data may contain confidential information, it is not open to public review.

The Watsonville Police Department does not permit the sharing of ALPR data gathered by the City or its contractors/subcontractors for purpose of federal immigration enforcement, pursuant to the California Values Act (Government Code § 7282.5; Government Code § 7284.2 et seq) – these federal immigration agencies include Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CPB).
470.3 POLICY
The policy of the Watsonville Police Department is to utilize ALPR technology to capture and store digital license plate data and images while recognizing the established privacy rights of the public.

All data and images gathered by the ALPR are for the official use of this department. Because such data may contain confidential information, it is not open to public review. 470.4 ADMINISTRATION
The ALPR technology, also known as License Plate Recognition (LPR), allows for the automated detection of license plates. It is used by the Watsonville Police Department to convert data associated with vehicle license plates for official law enforcement purposes, including identifying stolen or wanted vehicles, stolen license plates and missing persons. It may also be used to gather information related to active warrants, homeland security, electronic surveillance, suspect interdiction and stolen property recovery.

All installation and maintenance of ALPR equipment, as well as ALPR data retention and access, shall be managed by the Professional Standards Division Captain. The Professional Standards Division Captain will assign Department members to administer the day-to-day operation of the ALPR equipment and data.

All data collected by ALPR technology is downloaded to a CJIS compliant cloud-based server.

470.6 DATA COLLECTION AND RETENTION
The Professional Standards Division Captain is responsible for ensuring systems and processes are in place for the proper collection and retention of ALPR data. Data will be transferred from vehicles to the designated storage in accordance with department procedures.

All ALPR data downloaded to the server should be stored for a minimum of one year and in accordance with the established records retention schedule. Thereafter, ALPR data should be purged unless it has become, or it is reasonable to believe it will become, evidence in a criminal or civil action or is subject to a discovery request or other lawful action to produce records. In those circumstances the applicable data should be downloaded from the server onto portable media and booked into evidence.

ALPR vendor, Axon or Flock Safety, will store the data (data hosting) and ensure proper maintenance and security of data stored in their data towers. Axon and Flock Safety will purge their data at the end of the 30 days of storage. However, this will not preclude the Watsonville Police Department from maintaining any relevant vehicle data obtained from the system after that period pursuant to the established City of Watsonville retention schedule mentioned above or outlined elsewhere.
470.7 ACCOUNTABILITY
All data will be closely safeguarded and protected by both procedural and technological means.

The Watsonville Police Department will observe the following safeguards regarding access to and use of stored data (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53):
(a) All ALPR data downloaded to the mobile workstation and in storage shall be accessible only through a login/password-protected system capable of documenting all access of information by name, date and time (Civil Code § 1798.90.52). (b) Members approved to access ALPR data under these guidelines are permitted to access the data for legitimate law enforcement purposes only, such as when the data relate to a specific criminal investigation or department-related civil or administrative action.
(c) ALPR system audits should be conducted on a regular basis. (d) Every ALPR Detection Browsing Inquiry must be documented by either the CAD Incident Details Report number and/or Watsonville Police case number and a reason for search.

For security or data breaches, see the Records Release and Maintenance Policy. 470.8 RELEASING ALPR DATA

6. PAYMENT OF FEES

6.1 Billing and Payment of Fees. Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form based on the billing structure and payment terms as indicated in the Order Form. If Customer believes that Flock has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Flock no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first invoice in which the error or problem appeared to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this period will serve as a waiver of any claim. If any undisputed fee is more than thirty (30) days overdue, Flock may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend delivery of its service until such undisputed invoice is paid in full. Flock shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer of the payment delinquency before exercising any suspension right.

6.4 Taxes. Customer is responsible for all taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based on Flock’s net income, imposed by taxing authorities associated with the order.

authority, for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoice to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Flock a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate and Flock shall not charge customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Flock and shall pay Flock any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Flock receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Flock would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.

10. INSTALLATION SERVICES AND OBLIGATIONS

10.1 Ownership of Hardware. Flock Hardware is owned and shall remain the exclusive property of Flock. Title to any Flock Hardware shall not pass to Customer upon execution of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, Customer is not permitted to remove, reposition, re-install, tamper with, alter, adjust or otherwise take possession or control of Flock Hardware. Customer agrees and understands that in the event Customer is found to engage in any of the foregoing restricted actions, all warranties herein shall be null and void, and this Agreement shall be subject to immediate termination for material breach by Customer. Customer shall not perform any acts which would interfere with the retention of title of the Flock Hardware by Flock. Should Customer default on any payment of the Flock Services, Flock may remove Flock Hardware at DocuSign Envelope ID: 49A7681A-E9E9-483B-AE0D-044B0E98E1F0 Attachment 3

Flock’s discretion. Such removal, if made by Flock, shall not be deemed a waiver of Flock’s rights to any damages Flock may sustain as a result of Customer’s default and Flock shall have the right to enforce any other legal remedy or right.

10.2 Deployment Plan. Flock shall advise Customer on the location and positioning of the Flock Hardware for optimal product functionality, as conditions and locations allow.

10.3 Changes to Deployment Plan. After installation of Flock Hardware, any subsequent requested changes to the Deployment Plan, including, but not limited to, relocating, repositioning, adjusting of the mounting, removing foliage, replacement, changes to heights of poles will incur a fee according to the reinstall fee schedule located at (https://www.flocksafety.com/reinstall-fee-schedule).

10.4 Customer Installation Obligations. Customer is responsible for any applicable supplementary cost as described in the Customer Implementation Guide, attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Customer Obligations”).

10.5 Flock’s Obligations. Installation of any Flock Hardware shall be installed in a professional manner within a commercially reasonable time from the Effective Date of this Agreement.

3. This purchase is exempt from the purchasing procedures of Chapter 5 of Title 3 of the Municipal Code as a sole source purchase under subdivision (c) of 3-5.210 of the Municipal Code.

I urge you to consider taking this initiative off of the agenda. During a time when our most vulnerable community members are already living under fear due to very real threats to their safety and ability to live and work, adding more surveillance will further jeopardize their safety. Many undocumented folks have even stopped leaving their homes in fear of getting kidnapped by ICE. They do not need to worry about extra cameras documenting their every move and potentially sharing the information with the gestapo of homeland security. Please take this measure off of the agenda.

Samantha Zutler, City Attorney
275 Main Street
Suite 400
Watsonville, California 95076
RE: DEMAND FOR TERMINATION OF CONTRACT WITH FLOCK GROUP, INC.

Dear City Attorney Zutler,
This letter serves as a formal demand for the Watsonville Police Department (“WPD”) to immediately terminate its contract with Flock Group, Inc. (“Flock”) and cease all use of Flock’s automatic license plate reader cameras (the “Cameras”). Furthermore, this communication constitutes a formal notice of WPD's violation of California BPC 7592.2.

As detailed herein, City of Watsonville's contract with Flock Group, Inc. (the “Contract”) violates California law and exposes the WPD and the City of Watsonville to substantial legal and financial liability.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
WPD entered into the Contract with Flock Group, Inc., an alarm company operating as Flock Safety, for the installation and operation of twenty (20) cameras throughout the City of Watsonville ("the City"). WPD received approval from the Watsonville City Council in May, 2023 to install Flock cameras on City infrastructure and rights-of-way.

Flock’s cameras utilize artificial intelligence and proprietary software to identify vehicles by “make, color, decals, transforming footage into actionable evidence. No license plate required” thereby creating a “Vehicle Fingerprint” for each passing vehicle (https://www.flocksafety.com/devices/lpr-cameras).

Flock maintains a vast, centralized database containing over 20 billion license plate reads per month across 49 states. Flock's explicit purposes for these services include “automatic license plate detection, alerts” (as evidenced at https://www.flocksafety.com/terms-and-conditions).

VIOLATION OF CALIFORNIA STATUTE BPC 7592
Flock operates automated license plate reader ("ALPR") cameras throughout the City. These ALPR cameras are configured to alert the WPD when a licence plate from a "hotlist" of licence plates associated with stolen vehicles is captured.
(https://www.flocksafety.com/blog/what-happens-if-a-wanted-car-passes-by-a-flock-safety-camer a)
According to the Flock WPD Transparency Portal
(https://transparency.flocksafety.com/watsonville-ca-pd) there were over 2,000 hotlist hits in the last 30 days. This demonstrates that WPD utilizes the hotlist feature and thus Flock is, and is being utilized as, an alarm system.

Section 7590.1.(c) (1) of California Code, Business and Professions Code defines “Alarm system” as follows: "“Alarm system” means an assembly of equipment and devices arranged to detect a hazard or signal the presence of an off-normal situation." The presence of a stolen vehicle is clearly both a hazardous and off-normal situation.

Based on its advertised purposes of "alerting law enforcement in real time when a wanted vehicle is detected" and the nature of the services provided, Flock is clearly engaged in the alarm system business.
7590.2. (a) of California Code, Business and Professions Code defines “alarm company operator” as follows: "An “alarm company operator” means a person who, for any consideration whatsoever, engages in business or accepts employment to install, maintain, alter, sell on premises, monitor, or service alarm systems, and those ancillary devices connected to and controlled by the alarm system, including supplementary smoke detectors, or who responds to alarm systems except for any alarm agent. “Alarm company operator,” includes any entity that is retained by a licensed alarm company operator, a customer, or any other person or entity, to monitor one or more alarm systems, whether or not the entity performs any other duties within the definition of an alarm company operator. The provisions of this chapter, to the extent that they can be made applicable, shall be applicable to the duties and functions performed in monitoring alarm systems."
As such, Flock is legally required to possess an Alarm Company Operator license (the “License”) issued by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (the “Bureau”).

A review of the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services public licensing portal confirms that neither Flock Group, Inc. nor its operating name, Flock Safety, possesses an Alarm Company Operator license in the State of California (DCA License Search).

Thus, Flock is in violation of Section 7592 of California Code, Business and Professions Code:
"No person shall engage within this state in the activities of an alarm company operator as defined in Section 7590.2, unless the person holds a valid alarm company operator’s license or is exempt from the provisions of this chapter."

HISTORY OF VIOLATING STATE LAWS
Flock has a documented history of operating in violation of state laws, including in 2021, Flock was forced to remove 100 cameras from Lake County, Florida, after they were installed without county approval or permits. In June 2022, the Illinois Department of Transportation found at least 38 Flock cameras had been installed without permits. In February 2023, Flock installed cameras in Tampa, Florida, on the John’s Pass Bridge without approval from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). FDOT subsequently demanded their removal, which occurred in November 2023. In March 2023, the North Carolina Alarm Systems Licensing Board initiated legal action against Flock for installing cameras without the necessary license. This led to a court injunction in November 2023, prohibiting further installations without proper licensing.

In July 2023, Flock was forced to audit all its cameras in Florida to ensure compliance with new automated license plate reader (ALPR) laws, with an internal Flock email revealing up to 842 cameras requiring review for permitting or removal.

In July 2023, the South Carolina Department of Transportation issued a moratorium on new Flock cameras after it identified over 200 unpermitted Flock cameras on public roads between 2022 and 2024. In September 2024, the Texas Department of Public Safety issued a cease-and-desist order to Flock asserting that the company was operating as a private security business without the required license. In January 2025, the Washington State Department of Transportation ordered the removal of Flock cameras since Flock did not have a permit to install or operate the cameras.

POTENTIAL LIABILITY
Continued use of Flock cameras presents significant financial and legal risks to the City and its taxpayers. The City can be held financially responsible for any damages, negligence or misconduct by Flock. The City could face regulatory consequences for employing an unlicensed provider. And unlicensed alarm company operators are not subject to the same standards, regulatory oversight or training as licensed companies.

By contracting with Flock as an alarm company operator without the requisite License, WPD is in violation of BPC 7592.2.

Continued activity with Flock after receiving this formal notice significantly increases the likelihood of additional penalties being assessed against WPD, as WPD will have knowingly engaged with an entity violating California BPC 7590, which itself is a violation of BPC 7592.2.

DEMAND

Considering the clear violations of California BPC 7590 and 7592.2, and the significant financial and legal risks to the City and its taxpayers, demand is hereby made that the City of Watsonville City comply with state law by: Immediately terminating the Contract with Flock Group, Inc., ceasing all activities with Flock Group, Inc., and the use of its Cameras within the City to prevent further liability and potential harm.

These actions must be completed within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter. Failure to comply will result in further legal action to enforce California state law and protect the interests of Watsonville residents and taxpayers.

If you have any question concerning this matter, do not hesitate to contact me.

Respectfully,
Syd Jones

Please remove this item from the agenda until there can be a community-wide and countywide discussion. Mass surveillance needs to be a community decision, and we must be increasingly cautious about its use given the current state of federal immigration activities.

Given a lot of the new reporting coming out about the Flock company and ALPR data being shared nationally with many federal agencies against state laws, this agenda item should not be in a consent agenda, but should be subject to a period of careful & thoughtful community debate and conversation. This should be countywide, as all community members drive through all cities with these cameras. If Watsonville intends to support its immigrant community, how is this reflected in or consistent with a vote to expose ALL resident travel data to federal agencies? (see 404 Media) when this kind of data has already been shared with ICE, etc. by CA police departments?

The Watsonville City Council should not only remove item 7.L from the consent agenda, it should remove all ALPR cameras in the city ASAP. There is no oversight on how this data gets used or who it shared with. We already know that ICE and CBP have been using this data (https://archive.ph/0a7W6).

This is against state law, which prohibits local law-enforcement from aiding ICE. One woman was tracked through the national Flock system by a Texas police department after having an abortion. We should not be contributing to the mass surveillance infrastructure in this county, especially under an authoritarian regime, especially with so many residents already living in fear of being ripped from their families and sent to other countries! The unregulated use of surveillance data is ruining people's lives.

This is a very serious matter. Please remove this item from the agenda. We need a community-wide and county-wide discussion about this issue.

Please remove this from the consent agenda and give a public forum for discussion about why many communities have chosen to cancel or deny Flock contracts. Federal agencies like ICE and Homeland Security have been monitoring Flock data... and because Flock is a private company they are not subject to oversight. This type of sharing of information is illegal and detrimental to the cohesion of our community.

On behalf of the Santa Cruz County Chapter of the ACLU of Northern California, I submit these objections to this item. We support the other objections that have been submitted. This item should not have been placed on the Consent Agenda. It is known to be controversial, and is a matter of great concern to local residents. We urge you to reject the artificially rushed proposal for the WPD to 37 ALPR cameras that will indiscriminately track the movements of every person driving a vehicle in the City at great cost and with no demonstrated ability to reduce crime or make residents safer. Our detailed reasons follow. There is no demonstrated need for these highly invasive cameras: There have been no reports of any member of the public, much less a large number of people, asking WPD to install ALPR cameras. There has been no news of a crime wave in Watsonville, much less one that could be addressed by these cameras. Why then install them, when there are enormous downsides in terms of cost, invasion of privacy, and infringement on Constitutional rights and civil liberties? Apparently because WPD wants a new way to gather more information about our residents, as law enforcement always and predictably wants to do. There is no demonstrated positive impact on public safety: The memo alleges that the existing ALPRs have helped to solve a couple crimes. Before accepting that claim, the Council should require WPD to provide details of exactly how the ALPRs helped. When the SCPD wanted ALPRS, they were unable to provide any evidence to support the benefit. The City of Menlo Park recently decided to not use ALPRs, in significant part because there was no demonstrated need or positive impact of the system. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2023/09/29/citing-privacy-concerns-menlo-park-says-no-toautomated-license-plate-readers [Mayor Jen] Wolsoin said. “‘If it's such a needle in a haystack [referring to the fact that 99.9% of the data is never used], how are we then showing the need for this? (How are we showing) the benefit of this, given the cost to privacy, leaving ourselves more vulnerable to data hacking and whatnot.’” “The council decided not to consider installing ALPRs unless new data proves their efficacy in deterring crime.” Other law enforcement agencies in the County do not use or want ALPRs: Former Sheriff Hart said that he did not want or need ALPRs, and Sheriff Clark has agreed.

The cost cannot be justified: Particularly at this challenging financial time, does the City have an extra $250,000 to spend EVERY TWO YEARS to rent equipment of dubious value and certain harm to privacy and civil liberties? No public meeting: There has been no public meeting to inform the public and gather input about the grave dangers and invasions of privacy caused by the ALPRs. General objections to ALPRs: ALPR systems make our community less, not more, safe because they violate privacy, facilitate dangerous police stops, and risk exposing our immigrant community members to harm. ALPR systems are high-speed cameras. They capture not only images of license plates and the precise time and location of the vehicles, but also whatever is in the field of vision of the camera. This can include photos of individuals inside vehicles, children playing in their front yard, etc. Equity issues:

disproportionately impacting their lives. In 2015, the NYPD recorded and collected pictures of Muslim worshippers’ license plate numbers as they arrived at Mosques to pray. In San Francisco, a flagged ALPR scan led to the wrongful detention of a Black woman at gunpoint, triggering a multi-year civil rights lawsuit. In Colorado, police officers forced four Black children to lie face down on the hot pavement after misidentifying their car as a “stolen” vehicle based on an incorrect reading of an ALPR system. WPD Policy 470.6 says both that the ALPR data must be retained for at least one year and that Flock will delete the data in 30 days. This must be clarified. If the ALPRS are kept, 30 days is the longest the data should be kept. Recently Stanford PD & Santa Clara Sheriff had their data hacked and held for ransom. The data are not secure. Texas is apparently using ALPR data to track women leaving the state to get abortions. Some companies make the information available to private investigators, including anti-abortion activists. https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2014-08-12/undercover-audioreveals-anti-abortion-tactics/ An Ohio officer pleaded guilty to stalking an ex through ALPR; a Michigan officer looked up home addresses of women he found attractive ; and two Miami-Dade officers ran checks on a journalist after he aired unflattering stories about the department. https://apnews.com/general-news-699236946e3140659fff8a2362e16f43 Thank you for your urgent consideration of this important matter.

You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Please do not vote to install Flock cameras in Watsonville. Police and sheriffs departments are already misusing the data collected from ALPRs, and highly questionable searches and data transfers have occurred in high numbers.

Watsonville City Council Letter.docx;
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Please include the attached letter in your oral communications for the City Council meeting next week.

I am very concerned about making sure the citizens of Watsonville really understand the implications of what is happening with the funds they voted for to be used for transportation improvements.

Santa Cruz does not have your best interest in mind.

Please represent your community, which includes several relatives of mine, and think deeply about how you influence the decisions that will impact your community for decades to come.

Best regards,
Leslie

Dear Watsonville City Council,
I am deeply concerned about the financial impact to your residents if the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission’s rail and trail project is allowed to continue in its current form.

I was raised with the principle of not living beyond one’s means. What may have once seemed like a good idea has now become a fiscally unsustainable plan. The costs have spiraled out of control, and the burden will fall heavily on your community—beginning immediately and lasting for decades—long before any train is ever operable.

For the “opportunity” to ride a local train in 20 years, taxpayers face:
• $15,000–$22,500 in added sales tax payments over two decades; • $9,000–$18,000 in potential property tax assessments to repay bonds; • All while ridership remains uncertain and risks to completion remain high.

I have followed this project closely and watched its costs escalate dramatically. South County residents will be asked to pay the same upfront burden but may never see the promised benefits.

Evidence to date suggests funds will be exhausted before the trail or rail reaches Watsonville.

One of my guiding principles during my career as a finance executive was this: “Every idea is a good idea—until it is not a good idea anymore.” It takes courage to change direction, especially on a project once filled with potential. But when an original 2014 estimate of $126 million (used in the Measure D campaign) has now ballooned to more than $4 billion, and when residents are asked to shoulder that burden for 20+ years in advance, it is no longer a good idea.

Measure D was supposed to benefit transportation improvements throughout the county.

Watsonville has already seen its fair share of this funding used by Santa Cruz. The Regional Transportation Commission, which a few of you sit on, voted last week to allow the RTC staff to spend more funds on hiring lawyers to begin drafting the framework to issue bonds. These bonds would be secured by Measure D funds, meaning the money you thought would be used for transportation improvements will be used to pay the interest on bonds to support a rail trail project that will benefit Watsonville the least, if it’s even constructed.

As a lifelong resident of Santa Cruz County, with several relatives living in Watsonville, I need to ask you to think deeply about letting Santa Cruz convince you this is good for you.

The citizens of Watsonville deserve your leadership in protecting them from this looming fiscal crisis. Together, we can pursue projects that will bring true, lasting benefit to the entire county without putting your community at such disproportionate financial risk.

With sincere respect and concern,
Leslie Nielsen

I'm deeply concerned about the use of the flock license plate reader system. It clearly has a lot of potential for abusive surveillance and has been already used in harmful and illegal ways including violating the California Values Act (SB 54). Watsonville should not be buying any more of these machines and should turn off the ones already running.

Please remove Item 7.l from this meeting’s agenda. It is entirely inappropriate that such a controversial item would be put onto the consent agenda. Flock ALPR cameras were brought into Watsonville, impacting every single person who drives through the city, without any public conversation about it.

The concerns about this technology and the company that sells and leases them are many. I stand with the ACLU, SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice) and a multitude of other groups, and want to highlight:

1. The right to privacy is a fundamental human right and a constitutional right violated by these cameras. This technology creates maps of where people move or tend to move, and who they interact with, without probable cause or any warrant. This kind of mass, unwarranted, pervasive and invasive surveillance of the public by law enforcement must be solidly rejected. 2. This technology makes us ALL less safe, but especially immigrants. ALPR cameras make us vulnerable to data theft, unauthorized use of the data; the false reading of data gathered leading to misguided arrests and lawsuits against the city; and outside federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) gaining access to our data. Please study the reality of what has happened in other parts of the country, and learn from it. One key example is Denver, Colorado - a city whose officials and police department, like Watsonville, have formally committed to protecting immigrants and not sharing information with federal officials. In fact, audit logs recently showed that ICE carried out more than 1,400 searches on ALPR camera surveillance data collected by the Denver Police Department since June 2024. The safety risks this technology brings for everyone, and particularly for those already marginalized and vulnerable, are massive, unacceptable, and contradictory to the stated commitments and values of the City. 3. The cost can not be justified. As we face state and federal cuts and budget uncertainties, we must prioritize those programs and services that are proven to support public safety. To spend $250,000 for a 2-year lease of technology that has caused so much harm recently in other communities - including lawsuits against cities - is foolish and irresponsible. If you insist on considering this proposal, there needs to be meaningful community engagement via a town hall or public meeting. By putting this on the consent agenda, the impression is that the police want to slide the item into approval without public engagement, transparency, or accountability. That is absolutely unacceptable. Represent the people who elected you, the people who keep our community fed and strong, the people who come to visit this beautiful city, and protect us all from the unnecessary risks that come with these mass surveillance cameras.Take this item off the meeting agenda, do your homework, and end the use of Flock ALRP cameras in Watsonville.

This must be removed from the consent agenda. Watsonville, as a sanctuary city, must not put its residents under surveillance and in danger of unwarranted arrest by ICE. It takes courage and backbone to offer true safety to residents here. Watsonville must not waste our money on new cameras, and must get rid of the existing ones. The city must take a clear stand and commit to protecting all of its citizens by not compromising our privacy. We are living in a time when the very foundations of Democracy in the United States are being eroded. Watsonville must take a clear stand, and refuse to allow this dangerous step to be taken here. for AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A 24-MONTH ORDER FORM FOR THE LEASE OF 37 AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS (ALRP) CAMERAS FROM FLOCK GROUP, INC.

FLOCK cameras

Some people who received this message don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Your data has been stolen. So has mine. In fact, I don’t know anyone who hasn’t received a letter informing them of a data breach from a bank, workplace, store, etc.

Data falls into the wrong hands all the time, and at an ever-increasing pace. That is just one of the reasons I am opposed to the City of Watsonville installing more FLOCK cameras. (Item number 7L on the agenda on 9/9/25)
Here are other reasons why I am opposed to FLOCK cameras:
· FLOCK camera data has been used to surveil a woman who left Texas to get an abortion. Data is being used by ICE and Homeland Security, as well as by police departments in various states to track (and potentially track) other women who have had abortions.
· FLOCK camera data has been used to stalk ex-partners of sheriff and police officers.
· Police departments are voluntarily or casually sharing FLOCK camera data with federal agencies like ICE and Homeland Security.
· We do not need to contribute to any further mass surveillance infrastructure in this nation, under any administration, but especially an authoritarian regime. · Watsonville considers itself a sanctuary city, and this type of police state surveillance only further traumatizes the families of Watsonville. · Flock is partially funded by Peter Thiel’s Founder’s Fund and Thiel has been the main financial backer of J.D. Vance.

· If you like Vance, pretend that you don’t. How would you feel if someone whose politics you abhor knew every time you (or your family members) went anywhere, where you went, who you visited, and every time you weren’t home.

Would you be cool with that?
· Think of how that information could be used against you and your home. · Normally, the fourth amendment requires that any government-issued search warrant be based on probable cause and specifically describe the place to be searched and the people or things to be seized. FLOCK cameras combined with AI could be used to surveil everyone constantly and harass any person or group of people that the current (or future) administration doesn’t like. · Maybe you belong to a political group whose motto is, “The president is a big, ugly, poo-poo face.” Would you like to have your whereabouts easily tracked by a vengeful political leader?
It strengthens our communities and our civil liberties to engage dialogue about protecting our personal freedoms and privacy rights in this digital/AI age. There are many of us on both the Left and the Right that can likely agree that our personal privacy, data, and travel information should not be collected or mass-surveilled.

Besides, $250,000 could be better spent on SO MANY THINGS! Please remove this item (7L) off the agenda until the community has more time to discuss it.

Thank you for taking the time to read my email and thank you for serving the citizens of Watsonville.

Sincerely,
Laura Rice
(Watsonville resident)

Regarding Flock Safety security cameras
From Peter Zivanovich <[email protected]>
Date Mon 9/8/2025 1:34 PM
To City Council <[email protected]>
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important To the Members of the Watsonville City Council,
I am writing as a concerned resident to strongly oppose the use of Flock Safety camera systems in our community. While I understand the intent to enhance public safety, I believe these surveillance systems pose significant risks to our freedoms, values, and community trust, while offering little proven benefit.

1. Erosion of Civil Liberties
Flock cameras track the movement of ordinary citizens, logging license plate data and vehicle activity in a centralized database. This mass surveillance framework is ripe for abuse. Once in place, such systems are difficult to scale back and often expand beyond their original purpose. Take a look at what has taken place in England with the implementation of their citizen monitoring programs. Their programs has resulted in civil unrest and outcry against such policies and procedures.

2. Lack of Proven Effectiveness
Independent reviews have shown that mass camera surveillance does not substantially reduce crime, but instead shifts it elsewhere or over-polices minor infractions. These systems primarily generate revenue through citations and monitoring, not genuine community safety.

3. Privacy and Data Risks
Data gathered by Flock cameras is stored outside our city’s direct control. This raises serious questions about who owns, accesses, and profits from our community’s information. Data breaches or thirdparty sharing could expose residents to risks far beyond local safety concerns. My brother, being a cyber security expert, has a strong negative opinion about the security of these systems. He told me their security measures are “laughable”.

4. Financial Misallocation
The costs of purchasing, installing, and maintaining such surveillance systems are significant. Those funds could instead support community-based programs that have been proven to reduce crime:
youth engagement, mental health services, housing support, and neighborhood infrastructure. Paying a third party company an absurd amount of public funds to provide a privacy violating service is outrageous.

5. A More Democratic Approach to Safety
True safety comes from building trust, addressing root causes of crime, and ensuring that residents feel respected and supported. Surveillance-first policies foster suspicion rather than security.

I urge the council to reject the implementation of Flock Safety cameras in Watsonville. We can invest in solutions that address the real causes of crime without undermining our freedoms or building a surveillance infrastructure that feels more dystopian than democratic.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this important issue.

Respectfully,
Peter Zivanovich

In a multicultural agricultural community such as ours, people have real and present concerns about the abduction of innocent people by ICE/DHS. No one in this county wants our neighbors, co-workers and friends taken away by masked agents without warrants, as continues to happen daily in Los Angeles and many other CA cities and towns. We must all be very clear that Flock, a private surveillance company, has a track record of releasing data on people’s movements to ICE/DHS, even when they have been forbidden to do so by law. No one in this county wants our tax money spent on having our movements recorded by a private data-gathering company, especially one which has already illegally released information to federal forces. Spending hundreds of thousands of public money on surveillance of citizens in our current political climate of lawlessness on the part of the federal government would be a VERY unpopular decision that would lead to a loss of faith in any public official who supports it. I record this in the hope that you will see what a terrible mistake it would be spend any money on a Flock surveillance system.

I am strongly opposed to increased mass surveillance in our communities, especially when the data will be shared with ICE to directly harm our fellow community members. Increased government surveillance does not keep us safe and indeed stifles free speech and violates our 4th amendment rights. Please end all contracts with Flock and other surveillance companies. A surveilled country is not a free country by any means. We are entering unprecedented authoritarian fascism in this country and ALPRs and other data collection tools are direct tools used to suppress freedom. Be strong and be wise and stand against rising fascist surveillance.

Subject: Deny council consent item 7L. No lease of plate monitoring cameras. Data is shared with Trump’s ICE and DHS.

Dear Councilmembers Orozco, Quiroz-Carter, Montesino, Parker, Clark, Dutra and Salcido, Please deny council consent item 7L, the lease of 37 Flock auto plate readers for 2 years.

Why does Watsonville need 4x as many surveillance cameras as Capitola or Santa Cruz? Why not save $251,000 of the general fund for community benefit or real violence prevention? This camera data is shared directly with ICE and DHS without due process or city involvement. Consider the well being of the workers here who are often profiled as violent criminals and detrained without due process during this federal administration.

As you may know, according to a flurry of recent news reports, the data from these cams has been consistently shared with I*C*E* and Homeland Security--even against CA state law--and most recently, 404 Media reported that the Georgia-based Flock company was allowing CBP (Customs & Border Patrol) "backdoor access" to nationwide data without even going through police departments (like Watsonville's).

The California Democratic Party has recently resolved that community money should be spent on community crime prevention efforts and not ALPR mass surveillance technology, like these Flock cams.

No on consent item 7L, a detriment to the community.

Tami Stolzenthaler

Subject: FLOCK License Plate Readers
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear Council Members,
It has come to my attention that the Flock cameras and automated license plate readers recently approved by our city council and installed by our police department are being used by California police and police nationally, in cooperation with ICE and federal agents, to both conduct what now seem to be clearly unconstitutional immigration “enforcement” activities — and even to track women who have had abortions, or past domestic partners of officers themselves. While the officer involved in this case in Texas claimed her family was concerned about the woman, the implications for women and others who seek reproductive and gender-specific health care are enormous and chilling.

It is my understanding that the data collected by these cameras is not just accessible by police departments nationwide (although, supposedly, not for our state), but is also accessed by the heavily funded domestic force terrorizing our immigrant population across the country — in our state and in our own county.

We are quickly becoming a mass surveillance nation. Is this what we really want?
Residents of this county on both the left and the right (indeed, across the country) already feel their data is unprotected and exposed to both the government at all levels and for private, even multi-national, companies across the globe. Residents of Norfolk, West Virginia are suing their city for ALPR installation, in alleged violation of the 4th Amendment (unwarranted search). Removing these cameras is one small but significant step we can take to push back on mass surveillance.

Flock is a private company, funded in part by Peter Thiel’s “Founders Fund.” Thiel has a long background in surveillance on behalf of ICE and Border Patrol, through his global company Palantir. We do not know what agreements Flock may have now or may make with the current administration, which is clearly hostile to our Democratic politicians and peaceful political activists and

protesters across the State. We saw the for-profit abuse of our entire state by the energy company Enron. Your job is to protect our population, our Constitutional rights, our privacy, and our safety.

While the Flock CEO claims that Flock is limiting cross-state-border access, only now that data breaches across state lines have been revealed by journalists, are we to trust that this private company will ensure the security of our personal data? Especially in response to possibly intense pressure from the federal government that is likely to come?
I hope that you would agree that giving the current anti-constitutional federal government access to more of our private data (travel data) beyond what it already has access to through irresponsible social media companies; breaches of applications like WhatsApp by foreign actors; DOGE; and new, authoritarian leaders of federal agencies, is dangerous.

I ask that you please look into these matters and verify for yourself how this data is being used and accessed, including areas that are opaque to us, and over which we have no oversight.

Thanks to Mayor Fred Keeley and former Councilmember Sandy Brown for voting No in 2023, against installing these ALPRs. Perhaps now more people can understand how invasive and potentially dangerous these mass surveillance devices can be.

Yours Truly,
Katelyn Meyer

This agenda item should be removed immediately, especially because it can endanger the migrant community in Watsonville that is under increasing attacks including green card holders and permanent residents. This company cannot be trusted in what should be considered a sanctuary city.

Please remove this agenda item until there has been an opportunity for community input. I am opposed to any technology that increases mass surveillance and endangers our neighbors who are being hunted by ICE. Even if the Watsonville police have the best intentions in that regard, my understanding is that the Flock company has been sharing data with ICE, and we can't let that happen. Let's use the natural end of our contract with them to get the cameras out of Watsonville.

There is a lot of concern around the increased militarization happening nationally and the risks this poses to our large immigrant community here in Watsonville. I can’t help but believe that more surveillance will only make our community feel more unsafe — in addition to providing more backdoor avenues of data access for ICE and Border Control agents to unconstitutionally pursue and detain community members. I believe the cost of these cameras could be better spent invested in the community, as community resources are more likely to deter crime than increased surveillance. I know you care deeply about our vulnerable neighbors here in Watsonville, and I hope you will represent them — especially those who can’t represent themselves for fear of immigration authorities — by opposing these cameras. for AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A 24-MONTH ORDER FORM FOR THE LEASE OF 37 AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS (ALRP) CAMERAS FROM FLOCK GROUP, INC.

Subject: Concern about Flock cameras. Remove Item 7-L from the consent agenda Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025 9:16:44 AM
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Hi Representative Vanessa!
I am so grateful for all the work you do for District 2 and the city of Watsonville. Thank you for the stop signs on Lincoln Street — some of the young people at Somos Watsonville have mentioned that they regularly use that street to walk home and have almost been hit several times. Thank you for making the streets safer for these youth and for us all! I am writing today to ask that you and the council remove Item 7-L from the consent agenda, allow public comments on the use of Flock cameras in the city, and vote against agenda item.

As I know you know, there is a lot of concern around the increased militarization happening nationally and the risks this poses to our large immigrant community here in Watsonville. I can’t help but believe that more surveillance will only make our community feel more unsafe — in addition to providing more backdoor avenues of data access for ICE and Border Control agents to unconstitutionally pursue and detain community members. I believe the cost of these cameras could be better spent invested in the community, as community resources are more likely to deter crime than increased surveillance. I know you care deeply about our vulnerable neighbors here in Watsonville, and I hope you will represent them — especially those who can’t represent themselves for fear of immigration authorities — by opposing these cameras.

Again, I am so very grateful for your witness and advocacy on the City Council. I’ve attached some notes below from community groups YARR and Get the Flock Out.

More about Get The Flock Out:

A group of county residents, alarmed by stories in the local news media and nationally about the rampant misuse of mass surveillance data gathered by the "Flock Safety" company and its Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs), has created an ad hoc committee called Get the Flock Out. GTFO requests that all three cities in the county which currently have Flock contracts for mass surveillance pause these contracts, as the city of Denver has done, and consider removing the cameras altogether.Their primary concerns are the following: • California state police and sheriff's departments have been sharing data with federal agencies, including ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, against state law (SB 34, 2015)--even in spite of warnings from the CA Attorney General's office. This data sharing continues, as recently reported by LookOut Santa Cruz and national media outlets. • ALPR data is easily abused and not secure within the Flock company itself, based in Georgia, according to local data security professionals. One Santa Cruz resident with a deep background in data security has now independently issued a demand to the city attorney to discontinue the Flock contract due to violations of state law regarding licensing of alarm-system operators. (This person is willing to speak to the news media on an anonymous basis.) Flock allowed out-of-state transfer of California data even when that was illegal and until reporters made this public. Police officers have searched for women who have had abortions and even for ex-partners with whom they have grievances. Many searches are not adequately traceable in terms of their intent. • It is a violation of our Fourth Amendment rights, which protect all of us against searches when we are neither accused of, nor have we committed any crimes. These ALPRs track everyone's comings and goings and contribute to a national database that can easily be abused by authorities at the federal and local levels without warrants, or probable cause.GTFO is asking for a county resolution to not allow such mass surveillance technology into unincorporated areas (one camera in Capitola already points into the unincorporated county) and asking for the Santa Cruz City Council to agendize removing the 8 Flock ALPR cameras within the city.

They also seek to pause contracts in Watsonville and Capitola. Across the county, the immigrant community is already living in a state of domestic terror, with many not even leaving their homes at this time. These cameras certainly do not help. GTFO is asking the City of Santa Cruz to both PAUSE the contract with Flock until we can have a community discussion on this issue, and to PAUSE the acquisition of 14 news cameras for the city of Santa Cruz.Everyday, there is more news about how Flock is violating laws, not being transparent about their use of data, adding more AI capabilities to their unwarranted search capacities, and so on.The California Democratic Party also just passed a resolution to affirm existing state law, that this data should not be shared with ICE and other immigration agencies (which it has been; GTFO is not clear what this resolution will actually do), and that communities should be using local tax monies to invest in crime prevention efforts and not mass surveillance.There is momentum in this campaign, including nationally, and several cities have paused, cancelled or decided against Flock contracts. Residents of Norfolk, VA are currently suing their city due to their inability to even go for medical appointments without being surveilled.Further resources can be found at www.GetTheFlockOut.org.

Monday, September 9th 2025 Dear Honorable Watsonville City Council members, We write this in strong opposition to item 7L in the consent agenda and further urge the termination of our cities agreement / pilot program of Flock cameras in Watsonville’s streets. While each of us, signed on to this letter, has a position with an organization in the community whose mission is serving and improving conditions for Watsonville’s migrant community in some way, we are writing this letter as grassroots organizers of the community. Together with tens of other concerned community members, we have been working tirelessly in our personal time to prepare our community for the expected mass immigration raids that will impact us all. One example of the work that has been accomplished through this organizing collective is the business canvassing. Today, because of the hard work of our community volunteers, when you walk through Watsonville, you visibly see the support for our immigrant community. We have canvassed the town, conducting 1:1 mini trainings with every business that displays the purple SCCIC monarch sign, informing them on their right to enforce private areas, including how to identify a valid judicial warrant, and have posted private area signs in designated spaces. As the community prepares, we ask you, council members, to make every decision with our highly vulnerable immigrant community in mind. Please do not put our community at risk by trusting promises of the very company that will profit from this agreement. Please acknowledge that while current laws and ordinances should prevent the sharing of data with immigration enforcement agencies, any of these legal protections immigrant communities have today can get thrown out tomorrow. As you know, just yesterday, the Supreme Court issued a decision that would effectively allow for racial profiling in our streets. As our country continues its rapid decline into authoritarianism, we cannot count on the security of data, the adherence to the law by enforcement agencies or the non-cooperation with ICE by those with access to the data captured by the Flock cameras. You must safeguard our community with a strong stand by pulling item 7L and saying no to the potential overreach and data sharing that is likely to occur.

Subject: NO to more Surveillance cameras
Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025 1:04:46 PM
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important The Watsonville City Council has a "consent agenda" item scheduled for tomorrow, TUESDAY, Sept. 9, to lease 37 Flock mass surveillance cameras for 2 years at the cost of $251,000. This includes the current 20 and an *additional 17 cameras* for a total of 37 altogether. This would be FOUR TIMES the amount of cams in Santa Cruz, or in Capitola.

As you may know, according to a flurry of recent news reports, the data from these cams has been consistently shared with I*C*E* and Homeland Security--even against CA state law--and most recently, 404 Media reported that the Georgia-based Flock company was allowing CBP (Customs & Border Patrol) "backdoor access" to nationwide data without even going through police departments (like Watsonville's).

The California Democratic Party has recently resolved that community money should be spent on community crime prevention efforts and not ALPR mass surveillance technology, like these Flock cams.

Dear Mayor Orozco,
As a frequent visitor to my beloved Watsonville, I vigorously oppose the addition of more surveillance cameras to city areas.

Please protect local citizens and workers whom you represent from unconstitutional overreach by ICE and CBP. Our freedoms to live, work and protest without fear of reprisal or intimidation are at stake. I for one will remember how the Council votes on this matter.

You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important My name is Alison Alkon and I'm a resident of Felton and professor at UCSC, but I come to Watsonville often to participate in community events. I am very worried about your plan to approve the purchase of new tracking cameras, particularly in light of this administration's treatment of immigrants and yesterday's Supreme Court decision that anyone "fitting the profile" of an undocumented person can be detained. You are asking Watsonville residents to pay for the risk that this data will be turned over to ICE and/or used in other dangerous ways to increase their precarity.

Even if you don't plan to share data, this is dangerous in today's age of hacking and the ways that tech companies gain access to data without permission.

Please remove this from your consent agenda so that you can hear from community members at the city council meeting. I'm sure you will find them convincing.

Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025 4:28:43 PM
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear Mayor Orozco and Members of the Watsonville City Council, I am writing to urge you to vote no on Item 7.1 of the September 8 agenda, which proposes expanding the use of Flock license plate reader cameras in our city.

While the intention may be public safety, this technology raises serious concerns:

Privacy and Civil Liberties: Automated license plate readers create surveillance infrastructure that threatens the rights of all residents. Communities of color, immigrants, and young people are disproportionately impacted by surveillance and over-policing.

Cost and Priorities: Expanding these cameras diverts significant taxpayer dollars toward technology that has not been proven to prevent crime.

Trust and Transparency: Despite assurances, residents remain concerned about potential data sharing with outside agencies, including ICE. Even “courtesy notifications” create distrust. Adding more cameras only deepens the fear that local policing could be linked, directly or indirectly, with immigration enforcement.

Long-Term Community Safety: Research shows that true safety comes from opportunity and support, not surveillance. If we are serious about reducing crime, we should focus on healing-centered, youth-focused investments—not on expanding surveillance tools.

I urge you to reject Item 7.1 and instead invest in initiatives that uplift young men in our community—especially as a recent Lookout article highlighted the alarming rates of mental health crises among boys, which families in Watsonville confront every day.

Let’s focus on building pathways to success and not expanding systems of surveillance. Thank you for your consideration. I hope you stand with our youth and community with a vision of public safety rooted in trust and community well-being.

Any benefit to public safety is far outweighed by the danger inherent in exposing ourselves to surveillance by and abuse of power from local and federal agencies, especially as it persons to ICE and other immigration concerns.

You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear representative Orozco,
My name is John Robertson, and I am an educator and resident in your district. We worked together for a time at PVUSD, and I have always held your dedication to our community in high regard.

I am writing to you today with deep concern about the upcoming vote to renew and expand the county's contract with Flock Safety cameras. While I appreciate the stated goals of enhancing public safety, I believe the expansion of such a powerful and far-reaching surveillance network poses significant threat to our civil liberties and community trust.

My primary concern is the potential for authoritarian overreach. In our current national climate, granting government entities such extensive tools to track the movements of residents is a troubling precedent. This technology creates an infrastructure that could easily be misused, eroding the fundamental right to privacy for everyone in our community. Moreover, the data held by these contractors is held, leased, and sold privately, making it even easier to be used by malicious individuals.

As an instructor at the Cabrillo College campus here in Watsonville, I work every day with students who are deeply worried about this. Many of them come from mixed-status families and live with a constant, underlying fear of ICE activity. For our majority-Hispanic community, a network of cameras that can share data broadly does not foster a sense of security. Instead, it cultivates an environment of perpetual suspicion and fear, undermining the vital trust between residents and the government that serves them. It directly contradicts the safe, inclusive, and supportive community we are trying to build for these students and their families.

For these reasons, I strongly and respectfully urge you to vote "no" on this contract. We should not sacrifice the privacy and peace of mind of our most vulnerable residents for a surveillance system with such a high potential for misuse.

Thank you for your time, your service, and for considering this important perspective.

Sincerely,
John Robertson

Take this item off the agenda. Flock and ALPR data can be shared across the county & federally, adding to the perception of a surveillance state. More constructive expenditure of limited funds, please!

I'm writing to request that as my city council representative that you vote NO on item 7.l on tonight's city council agenda. I do not want Flock cameras monitoring my license plate or anyone in the community. Any benefit to public safety is far outweighed by the danger inherent in exposing ourselves to surveillance by and abuse of power from local and federal agencies, especially as it persons to ICE and other immigration concerns. Please help keep our community safe by refusing to allow this gross overreach of power. for AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A 24-MONTH ORDER FORM FOR THE LEASE OF 37 AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS (ALRP) CAMERAS FROM FLOCK GROUP, INC.

My name is John Robertson, and I am an educator and resident in your district. We worked together for a time at PVUSD, and I have always held your dedication to our community in high regard. I am writing to you today with deep concern about the upcoming vote to renew and expand the county's contract with Flock Safety cameras. While I appreciate the stated goals of enhancing public safety, I believe the expansion of such a powerful and far-reaching surveillance network poses significant threat to our civil liberties and community trust. My primary concern is the potential for authoritarian overreach. In our current national climate, granting government entities such extensive tools to track the movements of residents is a troubling precedent. This technology creates an infrastructure that could easily be misused, eroding the fundamental right to privacy for everyone in our community. Moreover, the data held by these contractors is held, leased, and sold privately, making it even easier to be used by malicious individuals. As an instructor at the Cabrillo College campus here in Watsonville, I work every day with students who are deeply worried about this. Many of them come from mixed-status families and live with a constant, underlying fear of ICE activity. For our majority-Hispanic community, a network of cameras that can share data broadly does not foster a sense of security. Instead, it cultivates an environment of perpetual suspicion and fear, undermining the vital trust between residents and the government that serves them. It directly contradicts the safe, inclusive, and supportive community we are trying to build for these students and their families. For these reasons, I strongly and respectfully urge you to vote "no" on this contract. We should not sacrifice the privacy and peace of mind of our most vulnerable residents for a surveillance system with such a high potential for misuse. Thank you for your time, your service, and for considering this important perspective. for AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A 24-MONTH ORDER FORM FOR THE LEASE OF 37 AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS (ALRP) CAMERAS FROM FLOCK GROUP, INC.

It is impossible to be overzealous in stating how terrible an idea it is to contract with this company, a group which openly shares information with ICE, an agency which, especially under the current administration, has made no secret of its mandate to harass, terrorize, and belittle the rights of this country's Latin American and Spanish-speaking public, irrespective of actual immigration status. Latin American and Hispanic people are not only among the hardest working and most productive parts of the community in this city and county; they are also vital to it culturally. More to the point-- working class immigrants are human beings with the same rights as anyone else!! But contracting with this company will send a message that their city government does not see them that way. I implore you NOT to send that message!!! for AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A 24-MONTH ORDER FORM FOR THE LEASE OF 37 AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS (ALRP) CAMERAS FROM FLOCK GROUP, INC.

It's important to understand that this technology is not about constant surveillance of lawabiding citizens. This technology is designed to capture objective data—the license plate number— It is specifically used to aid in criminal investigations and can help locate missing persons. By providing law enforcement with better tools, we are making our neighborhoods safer for everyone. This investment is about protecting our community and giving our police force the resources they need to keep us secure.

This is an invasion of privacy and puts our community at higher risk of illegal ICE activity.

ICE is illegally detaining lawful citizens and terrorizing communities, it is outrageous to spend tax dollars assisting them.

Features
Flock Safety has recently launched a
preventative tool that will block a user
who performs an impermissible search
from accessing data.

This tool will be applied to all California
agencies. If a user conducts a search of
California networks with a search reason
that includes variations on key words that
violate the California Values Act, they will
not be able to proceed with this search of
California LPR data.

Every search requires a registered ID along with a
search reason or case number
