What is the role of surveillance in a democratic society? Join ACLU of Iowa representatives for a deep dive into how state and local governments are surveilling their own residents, often without their consent.
Presenters will talk about privacy rights, surveillance technology Iowa governments have adopted in recent years, legitimate concerns about this technology, and what we can do to push for change.
The speaker presentation will be followed by a Q and A with the audience.
