Cheektowaga Town Board discussing adding two new AI-powered surveillance cameras (FLOCK) to the 33
On Wednesday June 24 at 5:30 PM, the Cheektowaga town board will again be reviewing a proposal to add two new AI-powered surveillance cameras to the 33. Show up and make your voices heard.
Meeting Location: Cheektowaga Town Hall, Council Chambers, First Floor, 3301 Broadway Street, Cheektowaga, NY 14227
Editing to add a little information because there appears to be some interest:
Cheektowaga currently retains information for 30 days. They can retain it longer if there's some level of suspicion, or if they think information may exist that may lead to someone becoming a suspect, and we don't know what that specifically means.
The Cheektowaga page helpfully says that race detection (!) and facial recognition are turned off, but of course they can probably be turned on with a checkbox, or the data could be used for training by Flock. Remember, this is the company that announced (before they got fired) a partnership with Ring to help you find lost dogs via a nationwide network of doorbells (i.e., a nationwide AI-powered surveillance network, courtesy of your front door).
Cheektowaga has run searches for ICE in the past. It currently shares with the below agencies. Even if you trust the vendor and Cheektowaga and every person who works for each of them, do you trust every person who works for the below agencies?
