Sorry Madison, You’re Being Watched

Madison doesn’t have a deal with surveillance technology company Flock Safety. But that doesn’t mean surveillance isn’t a concern in our city. There are dozens of Flock cameras installed around Dane County and yes, even some in Madison. So what’s the deal here? Today, host Bianca Martin speaks with ACLU Wisconsin policy analyst Jon McCray Jones about Flock usage (and misuse) by law enforcement, and what folks can do to protect their privacy.  Mentioned on the show Police Surveillance is Ripe for Abuse [ACLU WI] Analysis of Flock use by Wisconsin cops reveals trends, raises questions [Wisconsin Examiner] Find Flock cameras in your area [Deflock] 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode?
