San Diego Resident Dresses as Darth Vader to Protest Flock Surveillance Cameras

A San Diego resident named Anthony Ralphs expressed opposition to the city council's endorsement of Flock, a license plate surveillance system. Frustrated that conventional arguments were not gaining traction, Ralphs opted for a theatrical approach to draw attention to his concerns. He dressed as Darth Vader to make a satirical point about the council's support for the surveillance technology. The stunt was intended to highlight what Ralphs sees as an authoritarian undertone in the city's embrace of Flock's camera network.
