What You're Fighting For
By signing, you've added your voice to demand:
- Show us the policy. The one the state has required since 2022 and the city has never published.
- Show us the contract. Every exhibit and every monthly bill to Alabama Power.
- Show us the searches. Who ran them, on whom, and why.
- Stop adding cameras. Not one more until residents have been asked.
Double Your Impact
Every person you tell multiplies the pressure on City Council. Here's how to spread the word:
Share this message:
"Birmingham has 399 plate-reader cameras inside the city and 1,500 across the metro, and has never published the policy the state requires. I just signed the petition at deflockbhm.com."
Talk to your neighbors. Surveillance affects everyone in your district—whether they know it or not. A conversation over the fence or at the next community meeting can bring in voices that wouldn't otherwise be heard.
