California fusion center flags Flock council meetings as targets
Original title: Cops Warned to Look for ‘Suspicious Behavior’ From People Opposing Flock at City Council Meetings
OCIAC told police there were no specific credible threats, yet listed turnout, emotion, and media as safety risks.
A July bulletin from the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center, obtained by 404 Media through a FOIA request, warned California police that city council meetings about Flock cameras may be viewed by extremists as targets. It said no specific and credible threats were found, but urged officers to watch for clothing, questions, loitering, and unattended bags. The bulletin also treated large turnout, emotional confrontations, media, livestreaming, and disruption of proceedings as public safety risks, and cited LAPD ending its Flock contract as a possible turnout driver. It closed by saying First Amendment activity is reported only for safety planning.
Unconfirmed: The bulletin itself states that no specific and credible threats related to the meetings were found.
