#SurveillanceTechnology

After months of protesting Scarsdale Village's secret signing of a contract with Flock Safety for surveillance technology, the contract has been canceled. Many thanks to the over 450 Scarsdale residents who stood up against weak local governance and opacity.

Be informed and share. It's not where, but HOW our information is viewed, and it's not all good.

I love the way the people of Scarsdale and their local media are debating Flock Safety

The video seems mixed but, you have to understand how uncritically this topic has previously been reported on in local news and how no one was showing up to oppose it

westchester.news12.com/residents-ex...

Residents express mixed emotions over new proposed 'Flock Safety' partnership

Elected officials and police in the village have been discussing a partnership between the organization, and hoped to pay for the system through a federally funded grant, which has since been denied.
