The city I work in installed Flock cameras. City Council was clear they were only to be used to flag license plates for active felony warrants, silver alerts, and Amber alerts.

In less than 48 hours they were using them to give out tickets and track people who had turned in Open Records requests regarding the police department.

    I’ve heard of Amber alerts for lost kids but are silver alerts for lost older folk?

    Yup. In California we even segregate the alerts based on race for some fucking reason. Black people don’t get the same normal alert that every other ethnicity gets, they get an EbOnY aLeRt.
