In fact, the purpose of 5G and 6G cell towers co-located with data centers are to acquire, store, analyze, and distribute personal data for purposes antithetical to the constitutional rights of Alaska citizens. With all that in my mind, my first request is number one, that you authorize a moratorium on all such centers until at least our community can develop policies on them. Second, I request that the Petersburg Borough consider and conform with the State of Alaska Constitution and the Governor's Administrative Order Number 325, under the authority of the Alaska Constitution Article 3, Section 1, 16, and 24, which ordered state agencies to take actions to protect the sovereign authority of the state of Alaska and guard the constitutional rights of the individual Alaskans from federal overreach. I realize we're not federal, so perhaps this doesn't apply, but I think it does. Specifically, Article I, Section 22 guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses and other property, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
