- Jacob Petrosky satirically proposed a surveillance program for city officials to highlight privacy concerns with Flock cameras.
- He revealed the proposal was satire to criticize the city's use of Flock cameras to monitor citizens without warrants.
- Petrosky has been opposing Casa Grande's 10-year, $10 million Flock contract since 2023, citing invasion of privacy.
- He launched a website and petition (DeFlockCG) with nearly 900 signatures demanding warrant requirements or removal of cameras.
- The city has installed 140 of 200 planned cameras, including license plate readers and pan-tilt-zoom cameras.
- Petrosky wants Flock data to require a warrant, reflecting broader national concerns about police surveillance abuse.
