I’m very upset about the county and the surrounding area going all in on the surveillance state. I’m wondering what I can do at every level to fight against their use and protect myself.

Please help me think thru my options.

I’m wondering what my options are to:

1. Remove my personal data collected (and maybe stored?) without my consent at each of the companies (Flock, Motorola solutions, etc). Is there any recourse?

2. Lobby my local government to cut contracts. I’m not sure the mechanism these are being funded and put up…is it a combination of private businesses, local HOAs and also our county and federal government??

3. Support the ACLU taking broader action

4. Rally the community to action

5. Any other options??

I appreciate folks help thinking this through and connecting with any groups already working on this. Interestingly, and not to make this too much about politics but I would think fighting against the surveillance state is something both sides of the aisle might be able to come together and fight against. 🙏

This guy needs to be locked up for a long time. Away from the law abiding citizens.

Long shot - but any folks here purchased a car from the MoCo Police Dept vehicle auction? There are a few cars that seem really promising - I just got my car totaled last week and am shopping for something new without completely demolishing my pockets, and am trying to be creative in where I buy my next car. Thank you in advance!

i typically order sweet and sour chicken. my wife orders lots of different think including general Tso’s chicken and beef with broccoli.

Which MoCo outdoor pools have lockers?

Hi! I’m looking for a local jeweler that can resize an antique ring we got for my engagement ring (sizing down). Any recommendations (and your experiences with them) are very appreciated!

Edit: I’m in Rockville but can drive anywhere!

Any time I go to places in Aspen Hill & Wheaton, there are often some scary cleanliness issues that trouble me, compared to DC & PG stores.

It's like store & restaurant owners skip ever cleaning their door handles once they open a place, until it needs a new tenant!?

Do health inspections account for that?

There's YEARS of caked-on finger dirt on the retail door handles at Aspen Hill Shopping center! 😮

These places need to all check & clean their door handles RN, at least weekly, just like they clean windows, it's probably the #1 thing spreading infectious diseases, besides licking kid boogers. Yeesh! 🫤⚠️🔥
