A Casa Grande, Arizona resident performed satirical theatre at a city council meeting, proposing to surveil government officials using satellites and AI to mirror the city's deployment of Flock cameras on citizens. The city approved a $10 million, 10-year Flock contract last year and has installed approximately 140 of 200 planned cameras, including 70 license plate readers and 70 pan-tilt-zoom cameras. The resident launched a petition opposing the surveillance system, which has garnered nearly 900 signatures, and is calling for warrants to be required before accessing camera data.
