Make Public Comment About 4A, Flock, & Privacy Rights - Polk County

Calling all 4th Amendment Privacy Advocates in Polk County, FL We need patriots to speak up for the 4th amendment. Come make public comment before the County Commission approves the next budget. This is your last chance to speak up before the budget is voted on. 09/14 and 09/21 are budget hearings at 6 pm. 09/15 is the county commission meeting at 9 am. The budget has to be approved by the end of September. Surveillance technology is a line item appearing on the current budget proposal. We are not just advocating for privacy; this an opportunity to directly demand that the Commission reduced funding for mass surveillance technology since they lack transparency and regulations on how the technology gets used on our citizens. No one should have to live in fear that a government agent is going to stalk us just because we turned down drinks with him. The Constitution grants us the right of privacy. Surveillance technology like Flock and Axon demand that innocent people submit to monitoring without a warrant. Before a crime has even been reported, your government wants to spy on you. Many Polk Countians have reported government officials conducting searches of homes and vehicles without a warrant. Most recently there have been reports of government officials in this county assaulting women after citizens exercised their right to decline a search. Why does the Polk County government want to install so many ai-powered monitoring devices that do far more than read license plates? When at the same time their agents routinely turn off civilian cameras and refuse to wear body cameras? Do you want your children to grew up in a place where the government treats everyone as if they are already guilty of a crime? Fourth Amendment The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. *A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
