Dump the Flock: Flock Cameras as the Catalyst for a Modern Boston Tea Party
By Danielle Walker | The State of Freedom
We saw it with COVID: Under the banner of “safety,” governments and partners bypassed privacy norms, imposed vaccine passports and proof-of-status requirements for everyday public spaces, and normalized emergency powers that eviscerated medical choice and bodily autonomy. The same playbook is now expanding into perpetual surveillance.
Picture this: Every time you drive down the road — to work, to church, to pick up your kids, or just to clear your head on Louisiana’s backroads — a network of cameras is logging your license plate, your vehicle’s make, model, color, and often more. Timestamped. Geolocated. Uploaded to the cloud. Searchable by police departments across the country, sometimes federal agencies, with little to no warrant required for historical “fishing expeditions.”
This isn’t science fiction. This is Flock Safety’s automated license plate reader system — over 80,000 cameras strong nationwide, expanding fast, and already operating in places like Central, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans right here in Louisiana. Marketed as a “safety tool” to catch stolen cars and criminals, it’s fast becoming the infrastructure of a modern surveillance state.
Layering on top of that is Louisiana’s new law (House Bill 1085, signed by Gov. Jeff Landry in June 2026). Beginning January 1, 2027, traditional vehicle inspection stickers (brake tags) are phased out for most passenger vehicles and replaced with a $6 proprietary QR code decal tied to vehicle registration. The QR code, displayed on the windshield, lets law enforcement instantly scan for Vehicle Identification Number, insurance proof, and outstanding warrants. This isn’t just modernization — it supercharges surveillance tools like Flock. With artificial intelligence-enhanced cameras and video capabilities, these systems can now read and log QR codes alongside plates, creating a richer digital profile of every vehicle and driver. Another feature in the surveillance machine being built in the unholy alliance between sociopathic big tech corporatists and tyrannical big government.
And just like King George’s tea tax and East India Company monopoly sparked the Boston Tea Party in 1773 — a direct rejection of tyrannical overreach into the lives and liberties of free people — these cameras, the government-tech partnership propping them up, and the full dragnet of data mining are the provocation that just may ignite a new American revolt for liberty today.
The Provocation: Dragnet Surveillance on Every Road
Flock cameras don’t just snap plates when there’s probable cause. They capture data on every vehicle that passes — innocent commuters, families, delivery drivers, you name it. Details include not only the plate but vehicle characteristics, sometimes occupant counts or accessories via artificial intelligence enhancement. Data streams to Flock’s servers, retained for weeks or more, and made available to any subscribing law enforcement agency nationwide.
No individualized suspicion. No warrant for bulk access in practice. Just a permanent record of your movements in public spaces.
Critics from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and Institute for Justice (IJ) rightly call it mass surveillance. Recent litigation, including the Norfolk, Virginia case backed by the IJ, argues this pervasive tracking violates the Fourth Amendment — building on the Supreme Court’s Carpenter v. United States (2018) ruling that prolonged location tracking (even of public movements via cell data) constitutes a search requiring a warrant. A recent Supreme Court decision on geofence warrants and location data has only intensified questions about systems like Flock’s.
Here in Louisiana and across the nation, local police departments sign contracts with taxpayer dollars. But the data doesn’t stay local. It flows into a centralized system ripe for cross-jurisdictional sharing — and abuse.
Government Meets Tech Oligarch: The Prostitution Pact for Our Privacy
This isn’t old-school policing with a few cameras on Main Street. This is a sordid public-private bargain in the streets where government gains a powerful surveillance tool and a private company (Flock Safety, backed by investors) profits handsomely while centralizing control over your data.
Local agencies “own” the data per contracts, Flock claims. They say they don’t sell it. But the reality? Widespread access by thousands of officers across state lines, documented instances of federal agencies (Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security) gaining entry — sometimes indirectly through local partners, sometimes via admitted pilot programs despite earlier denials. Electronic Frontier Foundation investigations exposed how Flock’s architecture enables this, sparking congressional probes and state audits (like in Illinois and California).
And it’s not just government cameras. Modern vehicles themselves are rolling data collectors. Car dealerships, automakers, and connected car systems pull detailed driving behavior from onboard computers — hard braking, rapid acceleration, speed patterns, locations — and share or sell it to data brokers and insurance companies for risk profiling and personalized premiums. This private telemetry feeds seamlessly into the broader ecosystem, amplifying Flock’s public-road tracking into a near-complete picture of your habits. Reports show this data often moves without clear consent, turning your own car into a snitch sold to the highest bidder. Another facet of the same kind of tyrannical partnership our ancestors dumped into Boston Harbor.
Reports detail plans or moves toward integration with commercial data brokers for “people lookup” tools — jumping from plate to person. Artificial intelligence upgrades now allow natural language searches (“landscaping trailer with ladder”) and video clips. Some analyses point to flagging “suspicious” movement patterns — Minority Report territory, where algorithms decide who looks guilty before any crime.
This is the surveillance state as a service. And the “prostitution” runs both ways: Government sells out citizen privacy for the illusion of total awareness; tech oligarchs cash in on the contracts while expanding the dragnet into video, artificial intelligence inference, and beyond. No meaningful consent from We the People. No robust limits. Just “trust us” while audit logs and role-based access prove insufficient against insider abuse or mission creep.
1984 in Real Time: Big Brother’s License Plate Grid
George Orwell warned of a world where every movement is watched, recorded, and used against you. Flock (plus onboard vehicle telemetry and always-listening tools like Alexa, Siri, and the devices in our purses, pockets, and hands) delivers a decentralized-yet-centralized version: No telescreens in every home (yet), but cameras on countless corners and highways logging your comings and goings 24/7 — often supplemented by data your car itself reports and sells. Layer in social media monitoring, where government agencies and partners tracked users expressing protected First Amendment opinions — particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 election when citizens voiced concerns about the election being stolen. Public records requests have even highlighted Louisiana’s own Secretary of State’s office playing a role in efforts to monitor, silence, and report Louisiana citizens to federal authorities over such speech. The tie between Flock’s physical location tracking and social media profiles is extremely alarming: Your drives to rallies, meetings, or places of worship can now be cross-referenced with your online posts in real time. Add purchase tracking and debanking — where financial institutions cut off services based on social media activity or “risky” purchases tied to certain views — and the surveillance web tightens into a stranglehold on dissent. Funding our own privacy violations is the tea tax being forced down our throats once again — and like 1773, the time has come to dump it overboard.
Even your everyday movements lose all sense of privacy when aggregated into a searchable database. The patterns expose where you worship, who you associate with, your daily routines, and any deviations that might flag you as suspicious. Add artificial intelligence video analysis and expanding capabilities, and the panopticon grows.
The lack of accountability is staggering — and deliberately murky. Flock has faced accusations of misleading city councils and police about federal data sharing. Some cities violated their own state privacy laws by allowing out-of-state or federal access, leading to lawsuits (California Attorney General actions, class actions). Officer misuse cases have surfaced — using the system to stalk exes or personal targets, with rare but telling prosecutions.
“He said-she said” problems abound when it comes to data ownership. Contracts often claim local agencies “own” the data while Flock hosts and controls access. This blurs lines for public records requests (Freedom of Information Act and Public Records Act equivalents). Is the data governmental (subject to transparency) or private company property (shielded from scrutiny)? Courts have split — some rule Flock footage is public record even if vendor-held, as it’s created for governmental purpose. Others see exemptions or fights that force individuals into expensive litigation just to access or challenge “evidence” used against them in court for alleged violations. Defending yourself becomes a rich man’s game while accountability evaporates in the fog of private-public handoffs.
Where is the outrage? Where are the consequences for the architects of this system? Breaches of trust pile up, yet the cameras multiply like rabbits.
The COVID Precedent: “Emergency” as the Master Key to Privacy’s Door
Remember COVID? We were told temporary measures, emergency powers, enforcement discretion on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act for telehealth and data sharing to “save lives.” In practice, it became a convenient bypass for normal privacy protections around medical choices, vaccine status, contact tracing, and health data. Vaccine passports and mandates requiring proof of vaccination documentation to enter buildings — even many public ones — pressured disclosure of private medical information in ways that sidelined longstanding norms. Apps and databases collected data with questionable long-term safeguards. Normal rules were bent or ignored under the banner of public health, and accountability for resulting privacy erosions or coercive tactics has been thin.
This set a template: Declare a crisis (health, safety, climate, whatever), suspend or dilute constitutional and statutory protections, expand surveillance and control, then normalize it. Flock cameras and the broader automated license plate reader and artificial intelligence surveillance push follow the same script — “public safety” as the eternal emergency justifying perpetual dragnet data collection without warrants or consent.
If they can ignore or creatively interpret the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act for medical privacy during one crisis — including demands for vaccine status to access everyday spaces — what stops the same logic for your location data, associations, and daily life under the next “safety” imperative?
Two Tiers of Justice: Minority Report for Innocents, Impunity for Predators
Here’s the cruel irony fueling the fire: This surveillance apparatus tightens the net on law-abiding citizens while real threats often evade real accountability.
Documented cases show Flock data enabling stops, interrogations, or investigations based on “hits” that turn out to be mistakes, old data, or pattern-based suspicion — innocent people hassled because an algorithm or database flag said their car “matched” something. Artificial intelligence “suspicious movement” detection risks automating bias and pre-crime style targeting.
Meanwhile, in too many jurisdictions, clearance rates for rape, murder, and violent crime lag. Resources chase data-driven leads or low-level enforcement visible on cameras, while predators exploit soft prosecution policies, rogue judges, reduced policing in some areas, or sheer overload. Political cases or favored narratives get aggressive pursuit; everyday violent crime victims wait for justice that never fully arrives. Other threats are permitted to slip through.
It’s two Americas: One where your every drive is recorded and potentially weaponized by the state-tech complex, and another where accountability for heinous crimes feels optional depending on who you are or what the prevailing priorities dictate.
This isn’t justice. It’s control layered on selective blindness.
Law-abiding Catholics and traditional families were painted with a broad brush tied to their faith when the feds had zero grounds on which to target them in the first place. Mass surveillance like Flock doesn’t just chase “criminals” — it opens the door wide for targeting based on beliefs, associations, and dissent. Under the prior administration, the Biden Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation drew sharp criticism for memos and policies that labeled or investigated law-abiding Americans exercising their rights. The 2021 National School Boards Association letter compared concerned parents protesting at school board and PTA meetings to “domestic terrorism,” prompting Attorney General Merrick Garland’s memo directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Attorneys to address threats against school officials — complete with a special “threat tag” for tracking. Parents voicing views on curriculum, masks, or gender issues found themselves under scrutiny.
Even more starkly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Richmond Field Office issued a January 2023 memo linking “radical-traditionalist Catholic” ideology to racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists. It suggested mitigation opportunities, including potential engagement with Catholic parishes, based partly on a single case but broadly framing traditional beliefs (rejection of certain Vatican II changes, preference for Traditional Latin Mass, etc.) as potential gateways to extremism. The memo relied on sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center and sparked congressional investigations, Department of Justice Inspector General review, and later firings of involved analysts.
Comprehensive vehicle tracking via Flock cameras — logging every route to church, school board meetings, or community gatherings — combined with new digital identifiers like Louisiana’s upcoming QR code system, makes such ideological or viewpoint-based monitoring far easier and more scalable. Your movements, associations, and routines become data points that can be queried, patterned, and weaponized. When the state-tech apparatus already has the infrastructure, the temptation (or justification) to use it against “threats” defined by beliefs rather than actions grows dangerously real. This is the two-tier reality in action: dissent and traditional faith scrutinized while other threats are permitted to slip through.
The Catalyst: Time for We the People to Dump the Tea
Our forefathers didn’t petition politely forever. When the Crown imposed taxes without representation and granted monopolies that crushed liberty and commerce through favored corporate vehicles, colonists boarded ships and dumped the tea in a bold act of defiance. It was a clear message: This far, and no farther. Tyranny disguised as a matter of course will not stand.
Flock cameras — and the entire edifice of warrantless mass surveillance, data centralization, government-tech cronyism, and unaccountable overreach they represent — are today’s tea tax. We the taxpayers are funding these very cameras that log our every move. They tax our privacy, our presumption of innocence, our freedom to move without being logged into a permanent searchable record. They empower a partnership that profits from invading the spaces once rightly considered ours. Just as the original Tea Party rejected the King’s domineering and control along with the monopolistic corporate entity he used as the vehicle, we must reject this digital monopoly on our movements, associations, and beliefs.
The good news? Pushback is growing. Cities are canceling contracts over privacy and data-sharing scandals. Lawsuits are advancing on Fourth Amendment grounds. State legislators are waking up to the need for strict limits: warrants for historical searches, data minimization, local control only, bans on certain sharing or artificial intelligence expansions, transparency requirements.
This is our moment. The provocation is here — every camera, QR code, social media profile, and data broker file. The question is whether we answer with the same courage that founded this republic and dumped the tea in Boston Harbor.
What a Modern Boston Tea Party Looks Like
It doesn’t have to be literal axes and harbors (though symbolic protests have power). It looks like a coordinated, fearless rejection of the surveillance monopoly, just like our ancestors rejected the tea monopoly:
- Demanding local action: Conduct a public records request on every Flock or automated license plate reader contract in your parish or city. Attend council meetings. Vote out enablers. Push resolutions for strict policies or outright bans until constitutional safeguards are ironclad. Dump the local contracts.
- Supporting the legal fight: Back lawsuits like those from the Institute for Justice, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and American Civil Liberties Union challenging these systems. Amplify Carpenter and emerging precedents. Insist that “public” movements aggregated over time are private and protected. Take the fight to court like the colonists took it to the ships.
- Legislative rebellion: Call your state reps and senators. Louisiana and every state need laws mirroring the strongest privacy protections — warrant requirements, short retention, no nationwide fishing, audits that mean something, and severe penalties for misuse or illegal sharing. Pass the modern equivalent of “no taxation without representation” — a Digital Bill of Rights for Louisiana citizens. And encourage the legislature to empower itself to fight for We the People by bringing Paul Hurd’s two proposed Constitutional Amendments — one that would limit the Governor’s veto power and another that would provide a mechanism to force a vote on bills that otherwise may never see the light of day.
- Exposing the machine: Share the facts. The documented abuses. The misleading claims. The COVID precedent. The two-tier reality. Use your platforms, your churches, your community groups. “Do your own research” isn’t a cliché here — it’s survival. Spread the word like the Sons of Liberty.
- Refusing normalization: Reject the “nothing to hide” trap. Liberty isn’t for the perfect; it’s for the free. And freedom dies in increments sold as safety. Dump the data, dump the compliance, dump the tyranny.
The surveillance state wants you passive, tracked, and compliant. The Spirit of ’76 — and the spirit of the Boston Tea Party — says otherwise.
From the bayous where fierce independence runs in the water to every highway and neighborhood across this land, the call is the same: Stand. Speak. Resist the dragnet. Reclaim the ground our ancestors won by dumping the tea.
The Flock has come home to roost. Now it’s time to show them the door — or dump the whole rotten system overboard, just as our forefathers did in 1773.
Stay bold. Stay true. Stay free.

Oh get the flock out of here.
Flock you!
FLOCKIN' AYE!
What the flock?
You better not be flocking with me, because I don’t give a flying flock.
OK, I'm putting my neck out on this one.
Mother flocker!
No Thanksgiving goose yet.
For once I agree with the ACLU.
You want a Tea Party? End the FED.
Tea party over cameras? Right… With what people are putting up with that are a lot worse than that I can't see cameras pushing them over the edge. Turn off Netflix. Close McDonald's. Then you might see a reaction. lol
People are going to have to lose jobs, lifestyles, (and probably) loved ones before they wake the eff up.
gonna happen, as they say the end is not for everyone …
Will this include all the toll roads that got rid of the toll booths and electronically read your plate and send you a bill for the toll? Will they now have to rebuild the toll booths and hire toll takers?
Yes!
Someone in Houston already started cutting them down. Godspeed patriot!
According to the Flock daddy if you are opposed to having all your info stolen every time you drive by your no better than antifa.
Umm, so we as citizens have the Constitutional right to privacy when we are in public?
Right to privacy is one thing. The right to not be tracked is a completely different animal.
Imagine if you had a police officer following you and observing your daily interactions every day. It is where we are right now.
Best description of the flock invasion yet!
Imagine I ran over your ash and it was caught on camera. That camera is a violation of my rights, and you can go kick rocks, you ain't getting my information. I don't have insurance or a license either, cause forcing me to have them is a violation of my rights!
I’d not really mind a officer following me all day long. But, I get it some folks might get upset about that happening. I’d like to see some judicial rulings about this quote ‘right to be not tracked’. When I don’t want to be ‘tracked’ I leave my cell phone at home. But, then again if you drive a car made after say the year 2000? You are being tracked anyway. Those computer chips in cars today record everything.
You have a 4th amendment right to be secure in your person, papers and effects unless you are under lawful arrest..
Has nothing to do with 4th Amendment.
That’s kind of a blasphemous take on the 4th. you have there. We all know the 4th was written with the thought of limiting the police or military from entering your home, searching your home, seizing your property etc without a judicially issued warrant. There is NO expectation of privacy when you are in pubic. Police must have ‘probably cause’ to search you if you are in public. Law Enforcement can take pictures of any car on any public street and that is not a violation of the 4th Amendment.
I am waiting for the day when I am a passenger in a car that gets pulled over for speeding and a dingbat cop arrests me for not providing ID.
It will be a big payday.
Dream on Dave, As clearly you do not know the law very well at all. You can be arrested for failure to ID yourself when asked by a law enforcement officer. Here in Ca. we have a penal code law Number 148, Resisting, obstructing or delaying a officer in the course of his/her lawful duties. If you are sitting in that car as a passenger and pull that I don’t have to ID myself? Your next stop is cuffs and booking in the local jail for violating PC 148 here in Ca.
California is a commie state with fascist cops that does not respect the bill of rights.
I live in N. Georgia and we dont tolerate cops like you.
Good Gawd man you live in fantasy land. I live in Ca. and the Democrats who run this state protect the criminals and hate the cops.
Law enforcement needs to arrest… or threaten arrest before they can legally identify you.
And they need to articulate that reason to the court.
else I win bucks from your municipality.
Umm, I’m not sure what world you live in Dave but officers can legally and lawfully ask for you to identify yourself if you are out in public, most states have laws on the books that say failure to ID yourself to a law enforcement officer is a arrest offence. Yup, da police need ‘probable cause’ to make an arrest…you got that right anyway.
Cops can ask me for my ID all day long but I have the right to remain silent.
Sure, you just go a head and not answer nor show your ID to the police. I’d post my phone number for ya as I’d front you bail money but the moderators here don’t allow phone numbers to be posted.
Does "no expectation of privacy in public" mean that I can demand to know who you are if I ask a cop to make you produce your ID with no crime?
Does an anonymous phone call to dispatch give you the right to Identify me if you (the cop) didn't see me do anything wrong?
Very open ended, non specific questions you ask their Dave. A uniformed officer by state law has to wear a badge with a number on it and a name tag. Under cover officers have to carry ID and a badge.
Anonymous phone call? You mean Doxxing? Police and Sheriff dept get anonymous calls to them all the time. Most of the time those calls are looked into to see if there is any truth to the call. Even in you make a 911 call and never say anything officers will be sent to the location of the call to see what is going on.
I bet flock in Detroit or Michigan let's antifa come and go as they please.
This proves one thing about technology. For every positive function, there is an equal but negative function.
With those that are disciples of the Prince of Lies and Darkness always using it for Evil nefarious purposes. The system used for transmitting the illegal captured data is controlled by 1010011010.
This is something you would expect from communist China, not the United States of America!
All these "technologies" are coded in 0's and 1's. The number that is in control of many today is 1010011010. It's just part of the Darkness and how it takes over the feeble minded who believe all this number stuff is the greatest invention of man. Well it's not actually an invention of man.
The thing is….they have all this technology to monitor US – yet the REAL CRIMINALS stand boldly in the halls of government, (city/state & federal!) – with complete IMPUGNITY and total disregard for the laws we're supposed to (and a vast majority of us already do!) follow!

What this article says is true, but also it was written by AI… If I wanted to read that annoying AI writing style I would just ask AI to tell me the latest news instead of coming here. Writers are too lazy to write words down on a page (which is literally their only job) and yet we think we're gonna fight some sort of revolution? Give me a break. There won't be any real resistance because they've already ensured that we're all too weak, fat, scared, and lazy to do anything about it.
Maybe that's you, but it isn't me. I'm always ready…
Lots of people are already disabling FLOCK cameras with spray paint, tape, plastic bags, and BB guns.
The fight-back has already begun.
But we need much more of it.
No FLOCK camera can be safe.
FLOCK cameras are only part of an evil police state.
.
Next they'll counter with flock cameras pointed at each other, so they can record who's vandalizing them.
Portable grinders and sawzalls are a thing…
Just sayin'
Perfect.
.
where we you when millions of people flooded our borders? Polishing the barrel of your pew-pew and popping off online, I'm sure. You've been treaded on so many times… what a joke you are.
FLOCK cameras are evil.
And any government hack promoting them is also evil.
End the surveillance state!

OMG! Evil?
OMG! Clueless?
Or evil.

You're a sovcit moron.
You're a clueless nitwit.
And maybe you're also part of the evil FLOCK company.
.
You haven't told us what is evil about them, sovcit moron.
You haven't told us why they aren't evil, clueless nitwit.
.
Because, imbecile, they have never done anything except catch you evil lawbreakers. The ONLY things dumber than you sovcits may be the antivaxxers. May be. It's kind of a toss up.
Because, imbecile, the evil FLOCK cameras violate our 4th Amendment right against unreasonable searches.
Whether clueless evil totalitarians like you can comprehend that is unknown to more intelligent people who oppose evil FLOCK cameras.
.
The 4th Amendment does not apply. Nothing is being searched or seized. God help us if you think you and others like you are intelligent!! You sovcits have never won with your BS.
… "Nothing is being searched or seized." .. Marion Roberts
Yes, I know that's what you believe.
Because you are a clueless, uninformed and ill-informed nitwit.
A nitwit who, because of your own cluelessness, endangers the freedoms and liberties of the rest of us.
Please, just go live in a cave, off the grid.
.
Hey pinhead, sounds like you're the one that needs to go off the grid. A reader does not search or seize anything you pathetic pinheaded sovcit moron.
… "A reader does not search or seize anything" .. Marion Roberts
As I've already said, repeatedly, you're clueless.
You clearly have no idea what FLOCK cameras can do.
And in the last few hours, you have so obviously not availed yourself of the opportunity to inform yourself…you pathetic pinheaded nitwit.

THE LAW IS LIKE A CLAYMORE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT IT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION …
I BELIEVE TRUMP AND SOME PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY ARE HELPING HIM TURN THE MINE AROUND IN THE OTHER DIRECTION …
IT'S ALMOST THERE … BUTTON YOUR WIGS …
By all appearances, and despite election trail claims, Trump is for the Surveillance State.
Bring in the right (actually wrong) "expert," and Trump is easily bamboozled.
.
His buttons are easy to see.
Proof?
“appearances” – – Words matter.
You mean, to keep from owning the statement, you rely on words that take the responsibility away. You accuse President Trump and then take it back, like a whispered rumor. Did you make mean jokes to friends while growing up only to say it was their fault it hurt their feelings? sad
No, I mean, YOU want to make my statements for me, because then it would be easier for your jeweled crown of incorrect-knowingness to knockdown.
Again, you do not make sense. I asked for proof, you give me rumor. Now you are trying your hardest to sound intelligent only to discover you are not. sad
LET’S ALL say ‘good bye’ to Jim_AZ
bye bye jimmy
"Proof?" as a reply to the above statement: "By all appearances, …" indicates that you a) didn't understand the sentence, b) didn't understand the word, or c) you intended to mislead people who a)-ed or b)-ed.
Instead, an intelligent response would address what was actually said. Such as "It appears to me that he is against domestic surveillance because _____________," or more cleverly and easily, "Why does he appear that way to you?" – – But you don't have anything to fill in the above blank, and you don't want an answer provided for that question. It's easy to make a few guesses as to why this is so. It should be you doing the guessing.
You concluded with absolutely stupidly ranting quadruple-slander, indicating that that is your M.O., and that "slander" should be option d) in the first of these 3 paragraphs.
Where are the mass deportations, the reduction in H-1B visas, the surge of ICE agents in NYC, LA and Chicago ??
We've been played for fools. The juice control Trump and they want a surveillance state. What they want, we eventually give them.
ask the CORRUPT "judges"
Appearances can be decieving…when you are blind.
That’s pretty weak. You need practice. Go get ’em!
You cannot see what lies ahead
Your sun is gone
the moon has set
Clowns try to block the view. They aren’t very good at it, but they’re pretty funny.
I Believe he see’s that there is not much we’re going to be able to do about this in the future, it is a reality. To The Extent that we can have privacy in our lives we should fight for it, I think it’s going to be limited to our domicile Which Would require a lot of laws about manufacturing of home appliances and materials now …
Dump or outsmart your tracking devices, for starters. Resist. Get involved. They’ll accept your surrender. I won’t. :)
I get it and i’m doin’ it but it’s gonna happen if we keep moving into quantum realms it’s inescapable
Data Centers are the key -those are what must be stopped.
The government kings want bBiometric digital currency and ubiquitous cameras then we're all obedient slaves.
"If liberal politicians treat the people this poorly when we are armed to the teeth, well then just imagine if you will, what they will be willing to do to you once they've taken away your guns." -anon
MANY "(R)"s fit right in to this.
With the Flock cameras and the huge number of data centers supposedly for AI being built, we are being set up for the New World Order. They want to crush us, and it's coming.

The link I shared shows you every Flock camera installation in the USA. ;) Not just a news article.
Oh I 'looked'! but I include that pic to broaden the parameters…
P.s. the nearest 1 to me is almost 3 hours away…
#M I N D B L O W N!!!!!!!!!
Step one:
Don't follow unconstitutional orders from a cop.
Need to find out WHO'S making these cameras, Who's profitting, Who install them, and apply pressure/ boycott any other products that are related!! Name names!
Law's are for the law abiding!!!
There might be an easy fix to this. Just spread the word that it's intended to track black motorists.
Or illegal aliens.
AND … blue haired Korean lady motor vehicle operators from the bay area who can change 5 lanes in 20 yards on an interstate and create chaos on a freeway immediately upon entering it …
Don't remind me. We lost a '99 Suburban because an illegal without a license and no insurance did something like that. Ran in front of a pickup, who cut in front of us trying to get out of the way. I was slamming on my brakes, but almost pushed him over the median trying to stop that fast.
Did I say, "No insurance?"
Great idea!!
It'd be a shame for word to get out that there's approx. $400-600 worth of gold, copper, magnets, etc. in each flock.
Sheetcan the Flocks and no DATA CENTERS !
Pretty sure a directed energy device would disable these cameras. In case anyone cares.
That's very illegal.
And?
If you are going to do that and EMI attack every camera in the Tri-State area it will be a very large felony. People should be prepared to go to jail for blocking official communications.
Look, I don’t like the spying either but keep your head and protest and take it to the courts. Call your congress person first.
Don’t live anywhere near there and don’t have a clue about such weapons. I live in a free state.
So is disabling Flock cameras; that would be vandalism. Much like throwing cases of tea in Boston harbor was. Illegal.
DIGITAL PRISONS CAN NOT EXIST IN A FREE COUNTRY…..TAKE THEM ALL DOWN…SIGN..A FREE PEOPLE
Flock Cameras, self-driving cars, AI – isn't this how SkyNet got started?
If You dont like what you see here get the flock out..
If you are outside you can be observed. What I don't like is the police are storing this data and can use it whenever they want. Remember you have to be confronted by your accuser. A camera is not an accuser. Also, I don't trust that the data is secure in any way.
Do we get QR code tattoos or will they be implanted in our bodies ?
Yes.
It’s our civic duty to arm all teenagers with pellets guns, so they can shoot annd destroy every one of these spy cameras.
Bet you they are programmed to ignore Illegal Alien Plates.
You have a SMARTPHONE and a digital bank card….
GAME OVER…
You lose.
It depends on how you manage your smart phone. But even then, the cell companies track all of your activites just like your ISP's do.
NO.
Your phone has a charge….
You are carrying your smart card ID like bank or credit card…
YOU ARE ON THEIR RADAR…. the entire time the phone has a charge.
You can do NOTHING about it.
It's how EVERY single phone on DARPA NET works.
I really wish the government didn't want us to live in every dystopian sci-fi film ever made.
So, does that mean that all the blue cities that are dumping them, specifically to stick it to ICE, are in the right?
THERE ARE HUGE LIMITS TO THIS CRAP!!! I AM FOR CERTAIN MONITORING THAT IS PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE!!! BUT FOR REMOTE CAMERAS OR SENSORS TO USED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT IS AN ABSOLUTE NO GO!!! I HAVE WATCHED THESE GO OFF AND TICKET PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT VIOLATING!!! I HAVE BEEN TICKETED BY THEM FOR MAKING A LEGAL RIGHT ON RED AFTER STOP!!! I DO NOT CARE WHO YOU ARE!!! IF YOU ARE BEHIND THE AUTHORIZATION OR USE OF THESE, YOU ARE GOING TO BE OUT OF A JOB!!! WE DO NOT NEED YOU OR THIS CRAP!!! IT IS ALREADY EXTREME!!!
HOW MUCH TAX are you going to PAY Dummy?
I found they push over real easy. We don't require front plates in our state, and a face mask was cheap, with IR blocking glasses.
Flock cameras are too 1984 for Americans
Hey Siri – are flock cameras a bad thing?
I watched a video from Shanghai a while back, and the streets were covered in cameras, drones were everywhere, and all the people were being monitored constantly. The constant noise from the drones and street sentinels was horrific. It takes like 3 seconds to get a parking ticket just for not being inside the lines. It does irritate me when people park poorly, but those folks don't even have a chance to re-park their car before they get the ticket lol.
I haven't seen one local to my area yet, but I wouldn't like it's chances if they start popping up.
AI is the device which will gather and parse together all of this data. AI IS the lynchpin of of the surveillance state.
We have been warned.
I don’t think our government should ever call China a surveillance state, we’re just as bad! We just say it’s for your safety!
It's bad enough our cars and phones are already betraying us!
Cameras are good. We need speed cameras on the interstate too.
No You need COPS in CRUISERS… not more surveillance.
Nothing slows a speeder like a little money loss.
There are not enough cops or cruisers to manage the problem. They need help. Cameras, done correctly (see Germany for instance) work. We need the cops to have a greater emphasis on the issue as well.
That is WRONG.
The state does not care.
The camera is EASY TAX.
The COP is very expensive enforcement. the fine never pays for the COP and the car.
That is fixable.
Not when the speed cameras are operated by private, 3rd party companies. A private company should never be able to issue a traffic citation or fine.
Speed and red light cameras serve only one purpose. To make money for that private company.
COrrect, but, in places where speed cameras are installed and operated by the city, they serve a function. Police cannot be everywhere at all times and people, especially in the Baton Rouge area, drive like they’re in a race and put others at risk… running up our insurance costs at the same time.
New York State thruway!
The DAY…. you as a collective start BURNING your smartphones because of the dangers they represent, is the day America MIGHT find a way out of the danger you all are STUCK.
Big Brother never had it so good in regards your SMARTPHONE addiction.
Very true, but you can turn it off and put it in a box that won't receive transmission and leave it at home. Having every action monitored in public by other systems takes away your ability to choose.
If it has a CHARGE you are toast….
You can't turn off the digital rat in your phone.
You can only let it die and never charge it to be safe.
I hear you, but you can keep it from receiving a signal. It’s just a pain and probably easier to just let the charge run out.
The smart play….
Strike the thing 10 times with a hammer.
Burn the remains.
Start tearing down the cameras!
Our masters openly laugh as they build our digital prison…They're not even afraid to call people just what they think of them …a dumb "Flock".that needs 24hour surveilance and regularly sheared via taxation…This must not stand.
A smartphone is an I.D. proxy…
Combine the smartphone with a bank card and you have an identity LOCK.
The TWO combined almost 100% of the time ASSURE an IDENTITY LOCK.
People are careful with their phone, 10 times as careful with their bank card.
That fact makes a ID lock a real threat to your person.
You don't even tell the half of it. They also integrate pinging and scanning (what they can get) of smart devices–Phones (of course), tablets, watches, whatever, plus hits from your car's gizmos.
And if you live within range of one of the scanners, you can bet that it'll be checking on your home network, and all the other smart equipment you don't normally take in your car–Fridges, meters, washer, tv, etc, etc, etc.
And all of that is just icing on the cake that Google, Apple, and Microsoft, Meta, & etc have been baking.
Sooner or later the sun will throw a big enough flare out there that will put a stop to it.
If you have an old slide rule & remember how to use it you might make a small fortune.
Don't worry, Chiwetel Ejiofor will save us! Just don't try to pronounce his name.
Those that live by electronics will likely die by them also… call me a Luddite, but almost all useful tools have dual purposes.
The band Rush has a song called Camera Eye. It is about a future dystopian world where everyone is watched by cameras. It was written in 1980.
Judas Priest wrote "electric eye"
That song is really about satellites though, but same general concept.
One of my favorite Rush songs. Especially the meaty Rickenbacker bass line. The clue to your claim is found in a few lyrics…
"The focus is sharp in the city," "Wide angle watcher on life's ancient tales" "Are they oblivious to this quality. A quality Of light unique to every city's streets."
The Police "Every Step you Take" comes to mind as well.
It is "Every Breadth You Take" and it is about a stalker not surveillance cameras.
Oh. Well, isn't the government a "stalker" of sorts?
Peart was the Bard par excellence of prog rock. A rare gem of a lyricist.
Anyone Who has no problems with flock cameras being used all the time on innocent Americans with no probable cause or warrant does not know the 4th amendment of the bill of rights and should be ashamed..
Well the 10th Amendment gives the people & the States the right to do education & medicine.
Think they care about our rights?
I think that education and medicine are local community rights.
and no they dont. .
I think there would be a good market for non smart cars.
100% agree. As more people start to understand what a "kill switch" in a car is and how much smart cars can be monitored by the manufacture the value of older cars will increase IMO.
& the value of being able to do your own repairs.
I got 3 cars that are totally analog.
.
Vintage automobiles will be very valuable in the not-distant future.
That too.
The SMARTPHONE is a CARCINOGEN.
The SMARTPHONE is one of the LEADING causes of CANCER.
(((THEY))) KNOW THAT.
You can be targeted for EXTRA treatment if they have your ID LOCK.
Extra treatment will be by invisible microwave attack.
It's not just the Flock cameras on the highways. It's the facial recognition cameras inside most retail stores now. Big Government is watching you. You're guilty until proven innocent. Taking these cameras off the highways should include removing them from the malls and grocery stores, too. The government says it's for our safety when in reality it's for command and control.
Costs too much to have humans at check out stands scanning items. Self checkout resulted in thieves scanning only 7 of 10 items. So they installed video cameras on each one
I have a friend at my Walmart who helps me self checkout. I appreciate his great customer service.
I agree. Make them illegal nationwide
I can't help but think of those new masks now that make someone look like a completely different person, or do you remember the move, A Scanner Darkly? A unique visual experience!
Jeff Sovern Legal Defense Fund at GoFundMe
Jeff alledgedly is charged with protecting your Fourth Amendment rights by removing Flock license plate readers and other cameras. Jeff needs a little help. Thank you Jeff.
You need to read the fine print on your smartphone manual…. VERY CAREFULLY.
I have never seen one of these Flock cameras that wouldn't look better with a couple of bullet holes in it.
People in London for a time were going about wrecking the cameras.
The government will respond by saying if you take away the cameras then they can't catch criminals. How did law enforcement ever do anything before the 21st century?
Ever see how many case files were never solved back then? Tons of them. They are still trying to solve crimes up to 100 years ago.
Spray paint works.
We now live in “surveillance nation.” This unwarranted and constant surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment.
Amendment 4
– Protection from Unreasonable Searches and Seizures
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.—
This constant surveillance is an unreasonable “search” and “seizure” of your daily activities without a search warrant and discriminates against your individual right of free movement. There is no probable cause to surveil us or photograph us or our vehicles without probable cause that a crime is or has been committed. This blanket surveillance of everyone moving down a roadway is tantamount to a wiretap without probable cause.
So…..why isn’t some think tank suing the crap of the government on our behalf???

Search out images with the tag 'GATSO camera fires'
A tire, a bit of gasoline… and hang the tire on the GATSO…. a light….
No more GATSO.
Takes ~ 14 seconds to kill a GATSO.
The Brit is not nice to these things with good reason.
UK loses ~3 million a year on GATSO.
Everyone write your Congress critter. I'm sure they'll have hearings on the issue and get right on it. They're looking out for you, after all! (tongue firmly in cheek).
Data centers are central to the surveillance.
The globalists want total control through biometric digital currency
and ubiquitous cameras.

It's TECHNOCRATS doing this.
They are a layer higher than globalist.
They all go to the same bilder berg meeting every year
Computer worship is not invisible.

Many are guilty by association.
You have choices, That is going to mean something in the days to come.
Looks like Hoft got a few speeding tickets.
If you have a smart phone they can already track your every move. We have been living in a surveillance state with militarized law enforcement for a long time now.
If you are driving down a public road with a license plate tagging your car, then your movements are already public knowledge that can be correlated to your identity.
I have no problem with using this information to catch actual criminals. Now if it starts being used to persecute political dissidents then you were already living in a dystopia and that just makes it less deniable.
"I have no problem with using this information to catch actual criminals."
The great trouble with that attitude is assuming Government and its officials are honest and righteous. Given what has been happening in Blue States and with the remnants of the Federal Government constructed by the Magic Kenyan and his cohorts up to and including the "Residency" of Brain Dead Cadaver Joe Autopen, THAT ASSUMPTION IS FOLLY AND VERY FOOLISH.
If you live under the thumb of a corrupt government, they can use any excuse they want to persecute you. It is already game over or die fighting. But this technology is no different from a sharp eyed witness who is able to describe the car at the scene of a crime. Such a person is a godsend who saves lives. And this technology has the potential to save many lives.
Started with the E-Z pass. At first it was a “convenient” option; now, you drive through and they send you the amount owed and depending on the state, a “small” fee for having to do it the way they now impose.
What is the difference?
Cameras inside and outside homes are OK. Cameras up and down the streets are OK. Porch pirates and others caught doing illegal things are Ok, cameras in cars taping other driver's cars and tags without their knowledge and then posting them online are OK. People filming others in stores, restaurants, other businesses are OK. People provoking others and filming it and even pepper spraying them are OK. Cameras in court are OK, rioters filming law enforcement to "dox" and threaten them and their families are OK, people filming everywhere is OK with others, but don't you dare film anyone running a red light because that somehow interferes with their "rights".
This stuff is absolute catnip for the conspiracy crazies who populate this site.
I think they must be sovcits. Those morons are crazy off the charts.
Hell yeah..
Americans have the right to face our accuser in court and flock cameras cant testify can they?
The difference is that law enforcement uses flock 24-7-365 with no warrants or probable cause..
The 4th amendment gives Americans the right to be secure in our persons papers and effects
Unless there is probable cause.
Cops cant just run around and identify whomever they want.
They don't need warrants or probable cause to monitor traffic. AND what probable cause does the ones I listed have? The 4th Amendment does not apply here. Of course cops can run around identifying whoever they want! Stores have surveillance and people sitting and watching those monitors. Why isn't that a violation of your rights? Because it boils down to that crazy sovcit crap and anti-government BS.
Cops can not identify whomever they want unless you are getting arrested for stealing, murder or ticketed for speeding.
There are thousands of cases of cops forcing someone to ID with no probleble cause and they lose in cou.rt.
You don't know what the he!! you're talking about. You need to stop listening to that sovcit BS before it gets you into real trouble.
The only thing that I will get for not producing my ID is a big paycheck.
…because I didn't commit a crime.
More sovcit BS.
More fascist police opinion…not in line with the Supreme Court decisions.
Fascist. Is that the best you have sovcit? All because your dumb sovcit ash thinks you don't have to follow the laws of the land. I'll tell you again sovcit, you better learn the laws before you get your ash dragged out and pepper sprayed or tased. I'd like to see you get both. I LOVE the videos of you dumbash sovcits getting tased and dragged out your car after they have smashed your window!
Stores can take my picture and cops can take my picture on their dash cam but…
They cant force me to identify unless they arrest me.
You're wrong and you have been advised I am sure many times, but that sovcit crap has taken over your mind. What you sovcit refuse to understand is that failing to identify yourself IS an arrestable offense. That is why you numbskulls get arrested.
I hope I get arrested next time a cop wants my ID because I look ugly.
a big paycheck would make it worth it.
I have the right to remain silent, and be secure in my person, papers and property, unless I am speeding or running red lights or getting arrested for assault or theft.
Flock cameras will continue to exist but only for locating cars or people that have committed crimes..
NUMEROUS LEOs being fired or reprimanded for unauthorized use.
Stalking women, exes, family members, etc.
Btw…you forgot your mask.

So what? Being fired. Every profession from A to Z has rotten apples. You can't do away with everything because of a few rotten apples. That "said", I think they can find plenty of other ways to stalk than relying on a traffic camera. Where do none law enforcement stalkers come from that don't have access to the camera's info?
Your PHONE talks to the TOWER using 'Pings'… another name for a block of data with a certain structure.
What your PHONE encodes into that data block for keeping your radio tuned into the right tower and channel… using DATA.
All smartphones make lists of SEEN DATA… like a chirp from a bank card or a acoustic beacon sound in the environment, Post and stands like intersections emit chirps,LOTTO machines in the Quick-E-Mart emit data…
Your phone sends out a packet every 30 seconds or so and a ping with data every ~5 seconds…
Home base NSA servers gather and KEEP that data for later use.
You would crap yourself if you KNEW how much of your life is in that data set on the NSA worm drive farm.
WORM: Write Once,Read Many…..
Permanent records of your contacts and movements.
in details of meta data that will make you sick.
You have been warned.
Your number is way off. Its over 100,000 cameras deep and this isn't even the only enemy in the game. Axon, a former partner of Flock has an even worse product that attaches directly to any street light pole. Eliminating the need for its own pole and wiring. Making them infinitely easier to be proliferated nationwide. Its called "Axon Lightpost" and you can bet your entire net worth they're going to be a larger problem than Flock going forward.
Deflock alone has already logged over 113,000 LPR/ALPR cameras in their system.
I was looking at a map of these cameras in the US earlier this morning. Would you believe that there are over 112 THOUSAND of those things throughout our land? I didn't vote for any of them. remove them all now!
As of 2024, there are over 331 million mobile phones owned by Americans.
Every single one is a SPY.
331 MILLION smartphones = a GARGANTUAN distributed Computer Network.
And you tuck it in, Every night with a nice AC line to suck.
331 MILLION smartphones = a GARGANTUAN distributed Computer Network.

Such a nice, well thought out statement.
And just to crap in the pool….
The INTERNET… is going to be shut off eventually.
There is nothing the technocrat can do about that.
It's going to go down Sooner than most think.
Direct violation of everyone's 4th amendment….welcome to your police state…home of the slaves and land of the fees.
Has nothing to do with the 4th Amendment. You are NOT being searched and nothing it being seized.
Ok. Let’s put one in front of your house facing your bedroom.
How’s that?
Read the amendment or have an adult read it to you and get back to me.
Has nothing to do with the 4th Amendment. You are NOT being searched and nothing it being seized. Nothing you have is being searched or seized.
Where is the outrage?
Most people don't even know that they're being watched
Most don't care.
flock cameras are illegal spying on all citizens
There are so many laws and bureaucratic regulations that there is NO ONE that some government department cannot go after if they have some score to settle or just out of nastiness. Total surveillance just makes the evidence part of the equation that much easier for the government to hound anyone they want to. This sets up a perfect system of authoritarian government to persecute its perceived enemies.
Aptly named. They have been installed to monitor the sheep.

Boston tea party? We need a revolution to get the illegals and their anchordturds out of the country.
I got tagged by a flock camera in the larger town to the west 3 years ago. Seems my insurance agent did not put my premium to my account and I lost insurance. I got a hefty fine letter. I wrote back, explaining that I did pay (had the cash receipt). Seems his office crew (young females) got ticked off at him and before they walked out, took money paid by his clients. He didn't even pay enough attention to realize what had happened. I never heard from the local D.A. so I assumed I was cleared. But I now travel the side roads (away from school zones) due to the cameras.
There's no going back with the surveillance state; you can't unscramble an egg. The thirst for power is too great. To purposely limit their own power will never happen. If info about you CAN be gotten it WILL be gotten, bottom line.
All YOU have to do is stop playing your part.
Stop USING the smartphone and the threat vanishes instantly.
It’s FAR more involved than smartphones.
It is a trifecta, The Smartphone,The DARPA NET and the CLOUD.
I know all about how involved it is.
That's why Elon wanted his own internet backbone…..
That INVOLVED part.
Freedom is lost gradually from an uninterested, uninformed, and uninvolved people." – Thomas Jefferson.
(While this quote has been debated by who said it, it still rings true!)
Well, the good news is that all democrats always support, endorse, and advocate all criminal acts. So if the cameras catch you doing something, democrats will roll the wagons around you and hysterically shriek that crime is cultural… if you are not white.
Revenue Rangers……
CHEAP TAXATION…..
Nothing more.
You should be very angry.
You have to INVITE evil into your home.
If anyone could prove to me that these flock cameras actually caught robbers, murderers, child kidnappers or even hit and run accidents, then I might be compelled to accept SOME of the use for flock cameras!!!
BUT
To have every single move that I make, to record how and where I drive, to record where I drive to or from, is ABSOLUTELY an invasion of privacy and it ABSOLUTELY IS BIG BROTHER SURVEILLANCE!!!
I never got the death shot, so I never the received a vaccine proof of immunization card!!!
I was Insistent that I NEVER WOULD get anything like that!!!
I was shocked and horrified at how many Americans just blindly accepted the governments required behavior like sheep, over our own bodies and in the way we were set up as targets if we didn't follow what the "herd" was doing!!!
As long as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights exist in this country, I will NEVER concede to what the government dictates if it is against our civil liberties or against our rights as Americans citizens, or, if it is in contrast to the Constitution of the United States!!!
Look….. the REASON the FLOCK camera is in use…..
Is to have the CRIME in your face to be outraged by.
Is the FLOCK a 'just deserts' trick of President Trump to EXPOSE the surveillance state?
I think it and other things like this are JUST FOR THAT OUTRAGE generation.
Flock cameras will never go away but law enforcement should be required to have a warrant or probable cause, to access the info.
And BTW…. on outrage….
30 MQ-9 Reaper shot down….
Equals about 1.44 Billion in losses to Iran since you murdered their leader.
In JUST Reaper losses…..
And that's how the country turns to communism… by instituting the surveillence state in the name of "safety"
Who was it (and I'm paraphrasing) that said those who value safety over freedom shall have neither?
Ok… Further on outrage….
Iran spent millions on the flotilla navy.
The deep state spent BILLIONS over Billions shooting at fibreglass pleasure boats Iran bought at a steal from China…. Cardboard Targets Children made…..
$25,000-200 hp fishing/pleasure boat….. shot at by $15 million in Raytheon missiles.
I would be some angry looking at the bills at the end of the year.
How much do flock cameras cost?
..are you some angry them too?
I don't live under a flock camera.
That TAX is for you to pay until you fix the dark parts of the experiment.
The American Way…. is gone if you keep up the attacks on Russia like this.

A handyman was working on my house last year. He went to lunch and about 5 min after he came back a police car arrived and told him the Flock camera read his plate and notified him the truck insurance was expired. The cop took the handyman's driver license on the spot.
Big Brother.
The DARK STATE…. is broke.
The Iran Attack is to make them BANKRUPT.
It's working as the MANY cuts hit the mark.
Even if the NEWS has to remain an occult thing for security.
Their once was a time when all of these surveillance techniques taken straight from the book 1984 would have been unthinkable to the average American. These days it looks like about 75% of them have no problem at all with this stuff. That really has me scratching my head. I'm willing to bet that just about every generation before us, if they knew about all this, their minds would explode.
Flock cameras helped agencies in my area capture a man who not only murdered his mother but chopped her up and left her in pieces in her trailer. Absolutely brutal scene. They were able to find out where he went and caught him two days later in Kansas. He never would have been caught without the technology. Local agencies have also been able to find missing persons with the cameras. They have also been able to find several stolen vehicles. Police departments are not able to search for a vehicle after 30 days. People keep saying they are bad but they have been helping solve crimes in my areas and find people that need to be found. Two cities nearby got rid of the flock cameras because people complained and now the citizens want to know why those departments can't find missing people, can't locate their stolen cars, or capture dangerous criminals that need to be put away. All they can do is put out a be on the lookout for them and hope someone sees them elsewhere.
Look Up: Police Department Expenditures for regular DRONE tech….
There is a TON of that on the playing surface that is still UNUSED.
Keep that in mind as you look at your Gov. numbers and drone purchases.
It's funny the government never invests in any technology to improve our lives – it's always only to surveil or oppress us. I guarantee you these mega AI data centers are going to be used for mass surveillance. How about using AI to improve the timing of traffic lights? Or to forecast the weather? Or to detect election fraud? No, sorry they aren't interested in anything like that.
Add in the Data Centers, Big Tech Company Algorithm Tracking, Palentir, Mobile Phone Tracking, Satellite Tracking,, then maybe it would be a good start.
And this is all prelude to the Antichrist beast system coming to a world and neighborhood near you in the near future.
Liberal states and cities let one violent criminal after another walk free when they have plenty of proof to jail them for life ……
…. but instead they focus on tracking law abiding citizens and using the data to force them to comply with their smothering policies.
Indeed. My car was stolen about a year ago. Police (using Flock) got my car the next day. Insurance totalled it because of meth and fentanyl traces beyond their safety limits. The perps engaged in a high speed chase before being caught, had over 300 doses of meth/fentanyl in the car and got just 2 years probation.
And in the meantime hundreds of thousands of law abiding citizens had their rights assailed.
How? What is your proof? Just the fact that there are cameras out there is not an attack on your rights, is it?
My proof is YouTube videos. The highway patrol in many states have LPR's in the car, when it reads your license plate it then checks the database of every other camera to see where you have been. It tracks you from the time you entered the freeway/highway until that very moment they read your plate. They do all of that without a warrant.
They dont need warrants.
In my area, LPRs in police cars are only set up to check for stolen vehicles. I don't trust everything on youtube anyway. Lots of bogus stuff posts on there.
These were police body cam videos of drug trafficking busts.
Police wear body cams now. Just because they record stuff officers say doesn't mean what they actually say is what happened or is the truth.
Flock's a Violation of the 4th Amendment.
It has NOTHING to do with the 4th Amendment!
Does your bedroom have glass walls and a roof? Explain the 4th amendment to us please.
I'd rather YOU explain it. You all spout off about it but can't say how it has anything to do with the cameras. What does your bedroom have to do with public streets?
You can lead a whore to water but you can’t make it think.
Did you find that out with your mom or your old lady?
You
I'd rather YOU explain it. You all spout off about it but can't say how it has anything to do with the cameras. What does your bedroom have to do with public streets?
Right assaulted by other so-called law-abiding citizens filming them in their cars, in stores, etc. But that seems to be OK.
Wow
Three officers had their say in the 100+ page police report. Police did 2 PIT maneuvers, the first failed but second one succeeded leaving some repairable damage to the back of my car. But since I live in what is becoming CommieRado, the perps were slapped on the wrist.
What data do you have to support that? (I didn't think so…)
Tracking? Law abiding citizens?
The mass migration and LGBT indoctrination of our children wasn't enough?
5 years ago, we all were labeled DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.
These cameras will be used against you at some point, unless you stand up now.
Flock has been in business for nearly a decade. More than 5,000 law enforcement agencies are their customers. Nearly 6,000 communities have contracts with flock… those which are cities, counties, HOA's, schools.
Not sure what this
manifestoarticle is suggesting but this garbage has been out of hand for a while now.unfortunately tho… ai will make this tech omnipotent and that's really scary like having HAL follow you everywhere …
More fear projection. There is no evidence that flock camera data has ever been used for nefarious reasons. There is no constitutional right to privacy when on a public road way either.
If I was carjacked and my two year old child was in the back seat when the suspect drove away? I'd be praying for Flock Cameras wouldn't you?
Misuse has been well documented. All are easily found, assuming you know what a search engine is and how to use it.
Georgia 2025

True. Being in a law enforcement family I can say that this is a very important tool for tracking and arresting criminals.

IT'S ALREADY IN FACIAL RECOGNISION SO YOUR LICENSE PLATE TRACKERS ARE REALLY DOING IT EVERYWHERE WITH FACIAL RECOGNITION THEY ALREADY HAVE IT ALL OVER LONDON.
WITH AI AND SUPER CLOUD THEY CAN COLLECT ALL THE META DATA AND CHECK FACIAL RECOGNITION FOR A PERSON AND TRACK A TIME LINE FOR VIRTUALLY ANYONES DAY WHERE THEY WENT AND POSSIBLY WHAT THEY SAID IF THEY ARE COLLECTING AUDIO TOO BUT IF THEY CAN SEE YOUR LIPS AND KNOW YOUR LANGUAGE THEY CAN READ LIPS TOO.
THEY CAN PROBABLY DO MORE THAN THAT, AND THEY WILL PUT THEM IN OUR CARS SO IF WE'RE TOO EXCITED, DRUNK OR ON DRUGS, WE WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO START OUR CARS. WHO CAN SAY SAVING DRUNK AND DRUG DRIVERS IS A BAD THING BUT WHAT IF IT MISTAKES YOUR CONDITION AND YOU CAN'T GET TO HELP BECAUSE A CAMERA AND COMPUTER DECIDED YOU WEREN'T CAPABLE OF DRIVING SO IT WOULDN'T LET YOU START YOUR CAR …
WE DON'T NEED BIG BROTHER IN OUR COUNTRY AND WE DON'T WANT IT NO MATTER WHAT THE AUTHORITIES WANT !!!
I got sent to a Catholic Sunday school class in third grade, I remember a gnarly, mean old priest telling me there was something on my shoulder that watched everything I did and said and would punish me for any evil deeds I might do. Lo and behold, Praise the Lord it's all coming true!
BIG BROTHER already has you by the balls….
Further devices over that phone in your pocket are not required.
Flocks Are for sheep and chickens
Your license plate is public. I have no problem with Flock cameras. Especially when it can get my stolen car back or catch the illegal alien that just kidnapped a little girl.
License plate info is only accessible to law enforcement so it's not really public..
The info stored within the plate is only accesible to LE, but the plate is public in the sense that John Q. Citizen might see you committing a crime, write your plate number down and turn it over to them. There is obvious societal value in that.
Yup
Do you think police can just automatically run anyone and everyone's tag plate all the time with no probable cause.. ?
Absolutely positively.
I dont think you are an American.
You just don’t have debating skills.
What do you think the data centers are for? So you can watch a cat video a millisecond faster?
I endorse de-flocking all over the USA. We don't need to be micro managed everywhere we go.
So when the next Qlottschodt is demanded or then they can track your every movement to see if you visited an authorized Clodtschodt location.
Just the tip of the proverbial iceberg is Flock or whomever, selling our movements across the state or country to whomever.
But look at biden, obama, and we see just how abusive this can get; then look at AOC, Omar, etc…and you should be afraid.
These people hate Americans.
And they will not abide by any law, rule or other limiting factor. We know this now.
What do you think they will do?
Because they have already thought about it.
Those of us who complained when the first traffic light cameras went up 40-some years ago could see where it was going to go.
person of interest was a terrifying television series for me all those years ago. I heard the cameras being put up in the middle of the night in a high middle class neighborhood in Los Angeles during Lockdowns. I knew what was happening and why.. i dream EVERYDAY of drone spraying or covering them .
I DID NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR THIS IDENTIFYING INTRUSION TO OUR PRIVATE LIVES.

My Computer Told me to arrest you so….
What if SPEEDING TICKETS were given out by the INCH?
The smartphone is how that is going to manifest.
GPS monitor,Direct BANK WITHDRAWALS… Just a letter to explain the money loss…
The SHERIFF comes if your BANK is short….
You get the path to RUIN…. i think.
YOU are going to end the smartphone, In ANGER.
DARPA NET is two seconds behind it in getting shut off.
Louisiana funking bucks for this crap..
Arizona too…and any others state that ignores the 4th amendment
Looks like one of the big makers of tasers and other LEA equipment is about to roll out camera systems that simply plug in between the electrical socket of a street lamp and the lamp. No solar panel or special permits needed, very simple installation. Cities, towns, states, and the feds would all have some control over street/highway lighting. Vote against it at all levels before it gets implemented further.
It's illegal mass surveillance and we all know it, maybe we should mandate that all politicians wear ankle monitors and body cameras for their own safety so the public can keep track of our politicians instead.
Zacktly
I've never watched much TV, but earlier this year I saw a program that caught my attention–"Person of Interest". It is the story of an extensive surveillance network, and how it affects people. I thought it was a recently made program–turns out it was from 2011. We were being warned then.
President Trump tossed a brick onto the accelerator pedal of the Dark State Plan to attack and win over Russia…..
The sudden surge forward has them overdrawn and AMMO POOR for a time when they need ever increasing levels of output.
The Jews shot through ALL the Iron Dome and David's sling ammo in two weeks…
14 days and they were sitting duck targets.
The next salvo from the Jew is going to last ~ 15 minutes.
There is just not that many missiles in the WORLD and President Trump is going to END this crap by driving it off a cliff like Thelma and Louise.
Enjoy the show… This is going to get messy.
"Data streams to Flock’s servers, retained for weeks or more, and made available to any subscribing law enforcement agency nationwide.
"No individualized suspicion. No warrant for bulk access in practice. Justa permanent record of your movements in public spaces."
So which is it? Does it change for each customer in the individual contract? Has anybody checked to see if it's really permanent retention when the contract says only "retained for weeks"?
Flock the flocking cameras.. and the flocking pols who put them there.
CCP wants you to comply, they want your data.
Thanks to our marxist Mayor and ex wife of Ruben Gallego, Phoenix is being re-Flocked after a welcomed absence. She is trying to justify the move claiming it will curb red-light runners.
This is a conundrum for the bootlickers.
Why spend all this $ to "catch criminals" when they have no intention of locking up any criminals they happen to catch?
It's to help the globalists to enslave us.
