Biography
Jevon Martinez publicly opposed Flock Safety’s automated license-plate-reader network as mass surveillance. New Mexico police first charged him in July 2026 with nine felonies after alleging that he dismantled or damaged several Rio Rancho cameras and left American Civil Peace flags in their place. On September 2, after Bernalillo County ended its Flock contracts, Martinez livestreamed himself removing ten camera systems and drove to the sheriff’s office with the equipment in his truck, saying that he intended to return it. Deputies arrested him outside the office. Prosecutors sought continued detention based partly on the pending Rio Rancho case, but Judge Claire Ann McDaniel ordered his release under supervision on September 4. The property-damage, larceny, evidence-tampering, and related charges remain accusations and were still pending in the cited reports.
