A video recorded at Slayter Creek Park in Anna, Texas (~40 miles north of Dallas) reveals that 8 government Flock surveillance cameras have been installed directly facing a kids' splash pad, playground, and skate park. Parents are raising serious privacy concerns, questioning why automated license plate readers are aimed at children wearing swimsuits and areas where families change, rather than at the parking lots.

NSA WHISTLEBLOWER WARNS: FLOCK CAMERAS ARE BUILDING A 24/7 SURVEILLANCE GRID
NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake warns that Flock cameras are not simply crime-fighting tools. They are becoming the backbone of a surveillance network capable of tracking ordinary Americans in real time.
By outsourcing the infrastructure to private companies, government agencies can claim they are merely purchasing a service while gaining broad access to data that can monitor entire populations with far less oversight.
It goes beyond license plates. Bluetooth signals, wireless transmissions, phones, smartwatches, and in-vehicle systems can all become digital beacons.
Combined, those signals can map where you drive, who you visit, the events you attend, and how you move through your community.
That data can be stored, searched, and shared far beyond the local police department that collected it.
@Thomas_Drake1 explains how license-plate readers, Bluetooth, wireless transmissions, and connected-vehicle systems are converging into a de facto tracking grid for every American.
And when private corporations operate that grid instead of the government, the constitutional guardrails become even weaker, creating a quiet backdoor for unchecked data collection and abuse.
Say it with me.
I will always:
-Trust my TA
-Manage my risk
-Have a trading plan
-Follow that trading plan
-Take responsibility for my trades
-Never pick trend changing tops/bottoms
-Never use “hope" as a strategy
-Always cut losses
-Learn from every loss
We got this!
You matter. You’re enough. Your presence in this world makes a difference, whether you see it or not. We can always improve, but remember this: You are enough not because you did or said or bought or thought or became or created something special, but because you always were.
