Good evening Mayor and Council Members, My name is Angeles Ochoa and I'm a resident here in Santa Ana as well as the Digital Organizer at Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development(OCCORD). I'm speaking today because residents were promised transparency, oversight and accountability when the City approved the Flock surveillance contract last year—yet those commitments were never fulfilled. A year later, the public is still being asked to trust a surveillance system without receiving the basic reporting and accountability measures that were promised from the beginning. When this contract was approved, residents were told there would be a public report within a year showing measurable outcomes including how many stolen vehicles were recovered, how many missing persons were located, how many crimes were solved and whether this technology was actually effective. But a year later, that report never came. That matters because surveillance programs should never operate without transparency and oversight. Mayor Amezcua previously suggested that people were"hyper focusing" on one documented case of abuse involving this technology. But the reality is that misuse of ALPR and Flock systems is not isolated it is part of a broader nationwide pattern. Right here in Orange County, a Costa Mesa police officer was fired after investigators found he used the Flock system multiple times to track individuals for personal reasons. Beyond individual misuse, investigations have also found that California law enforcement agencies including agencies in Orange County shared ALPR surveillance data with federal authorities despite California privacy protections meant to limit that type of access. And these concerns are not limited to California. In Colorado, police reportedly pursued the wrong suspect after inaccurate ALPR data contributed to officers targeting the wrong individual. These concerns are clearly not isolated incidents. Across the country, communities continue to report cases involving misuse, inaccurate data, lack of oversight, unauthorized data sharing and other serious abuses connected to ALPR and Flock systems. These are exactly the kinds of risks community members warned about from the beginning: lack of oversight, misuse of sensitive data and surveillance systems expanding beyond their original purpose. If the City cannot even provide the public report and accountability measures it promised residents, then why should the public trust that these systems are being properly monitored or protected from abuse?
