STOP THE SURVEILLANCE STATE

Battle Creek has spent tax dollars on Flock / ALPR cameras — part of a nationwide network of unaccountable mass surveillance.

THE TRUTH THEY WON’T TELL YOU

• THEY SAY IT’S FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
• THE TRUTH: It’s mass surveillance of law-abiding citizens.
• IT INVADES YOUR PRIVACY.
• It tracks where you go, who you see, and when — without a warrant.
• IT COSTS YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
• Millions spent on surveillance instead of real solutions.
• IT ENABLES A POLICE STATE.

Unconstitutional. Unchecked. Unacceptable.

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU

If elected City Commissioner, I will introduce a resolution to:

TERMINATE ANY AND ALL FLOCK / ALPR CAMERAS

These systems violate the 4th Amendment and other constitutional protections.

I HAVE ALREADY WITNESSED THE ABUSE, DESTRUCTION, ALTERATION, AND MISUSE OF CAMERAS BY THE Battle Creek Police Department (BCPD).

This is not public safety — this is unconstitutional surveillance.

I DO NOT SERVE THE POLICE OR THE SURVEILLANCE STATE.

I SERVE THE CONSTITUTION. I SERVE YOU.

MY OATH IS TO THE CONSTITUTION

I REPRESENT THE CITIZENS, NOT THE POLICE.

4th Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

TRUTH AND TRANSPARENCY STARTS WITH PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY, NOT HIDDEN BEHIND SURVEILLANCE AND EXPLOITATION.
