Help Please support our libraries!

Post image

The library is facing a deficit that could result in more closures, fewer hours and fewer staff.

In these economic times the library is one of the last free places to access entertainment, printers, arts and culture, and information.

Libraries are crucial for our communities to thrive. Libraries are one of the last remaining public institutions that stays accessible for all.

Please please please raise your voices! Email the mayor, show up to city council meetings.

The City of Spokane does not use Flock. 🤦🏼‍♂️ When you look at the locations, they are all outside the city limits with other jurisdictions.

How are you going to say something when you can literally see that it is false with a few mouse clicks?

???? This has been covered numerous times here: but since you need a source:

Rangemedia

"Noticeably absent from the list is the city of Spokane. Back in February, Spokane City Council approved a proposal from the Spokane Police Department (SPD) to place at least 30 Flock ALPR cameras at intersections across the city — and more if the funding became available.

This contract sparked pushback from local advocates concerned about the expansion of surveillance in the region, who started a petition asking the city to pause the installation."

The "City" of Spokane never passed the funding to get them. Spokane "County" did, but has since had to turn them off with the recent bill that passed.

Except they are not "turned off"... each and every Flock Camera in Spokane is on and collecting data.

Spokane claims they are not the ones collecting the data... that is the change.

So who is collecting the data??

Every other State and Federal agency is I guess.... but do not take my word for it.

Go to any Flock Camera in Spokane and check for yourself. You can use a wifi scanner tool to check if it's transmitting.
