Man takes down police over Flock point by point, "You all are shooting yourselves in the foot and losing the public's trust."
"We can't regulate ourselves out of this situation. The only way you can align with the public on Flock is to turn the damn things off."
Bill Burr on Mass Surveillance:
"They have this level of surveillance on us, not because of what we're doing, but because of what they are about to do.
And they know the reaction that's going to happen.
They've never had an army big enough to stop a revolution, but if you know what everybody's talking about and where they are at all times, you can just put out all these little fires."
Hundreds of homes are receiving code enforcement warnings as AI cameras on trash trucks spy on and report houses to the city when the trucks drive by for trash pickup
This comes on the heels of a nationwide debate on privacy issues related to Flock and other ALPR cameras
Rand Paul supports "keeping the cameras up and regulating them with a warrant."
It's a shame.
I used to have hopes for him.
The establishment would be absolutely satisfied if we accepted this incremental step toward wiping away our Fourth Amendment right.
No matter what, if the cameras are up, we know the government will find a way to review all the footage (and other data it collects), and right now they can easily access it in the cloud.
We already know the government will spy on us in secret, as Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the NSA doing just that.
All of the cameras must come down.
We are still making progress, and cameras are being canceled or taken down every day.
American shows up in a disco suit and his own homemade Flock safety camera that he made in his garage to the Lee’s Summit, Missouri City Council meeting
He’s exposing how the city spent $909,000 on only 54 Flock cameras the cameras remain property of Flock. Even if the contract runs its course and they cancel, Flock will keep the cameras despite paying nearly a million dollars for them
It’s true I looked into the flock contracts and they maintain all rights and ownership over the cameras, once installed the city can’t even move the location of the cameras or remove them
- Flock hardware “is owned and shall remain the exclusive property of Flock.”
- “Title to any Flock Hardware shall not pass to [the city].”
A The city may not remove, move or take possession of the units
- At the end of the term, Flock removes the cameras
The city is leasing the cameras and using the software…. This sounds like one of the biggest ripoffs to taxpayers in history
That’s $16,833 per camera over the 5 year contract
Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm
Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in.
LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations.
The evidence begs to differ.
216 million of these are sitting in living rooms.
Where are the regulators?

🚨 FLOCK ERROR = GUNS DRAWN
Police shut down I-94, boxed in a silver SUV, and held two people at gun point after Flock cameras flagged the car as “connected to a homicide.”
Except it wasn’t.
The alert was outdated.
Authorities forgot to remove it.
Trust the algorithm.™
My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief who was tragically killed at yesterday's Trump rally in Pennsylvania. This morning, his daughter Allyson shared a deeply moving tribute to her father on Facebook, describing how he died shielding Allyson and her mother from the bullets that came at them. "We lost a selfless, loving, husband, father, brother, uncle, son, and friend...the best dad a girl could ever ask for,” she wrote. "He died a real-life superhero."
The impact of the rampant vitriol and divisiveness in today's political and media landscape – and, increasingly, political violence – isn’t isolated to presidential candidates or political parties. As this tragedy shows, it also takes an unimaginable toll on our country's citizens: American families with hearts and hopes, like the Comperatore family.
America has fallen off the precipice, but we can still climb back up. As a nation, we can overcome this. But we need to learn how to better understand and empathize with one another, converse with respectful dialogue, and regard differing viewpoints with dignity and respect.
A GoFundMe has been set up to support Allyson and her family: https://t.co/v9dzrnmLBA
My thoughts and prayers are with the Comperatore family.
Are you angry the system is forcing two of the worst candidates in US history down our throats?
Prepare to get even angrier.
We all know the uniparty tries to rig the system in their favor. While the Democrats do most of the dirty work, the Republicans don’t put up much of a fight.
But how exactly do they keep third parties and independent candidates off the ballot and out of the White House?
Let me break down some of the shady things they've done that you may have missed over the last 5 months:
❤️ February
•DNC files FEC complaint against the only PAC supporting Kennedy, AV24, to get the signatures they’d acquired in states like AZ, MI & GA thrown out under the guide the campaign colluded with the PAC.
•DNC launches billboards in Michigan ahead of a Kennedy rally linking him to Trump.
🍀 March
•The DNC hires an entire team to keep 3rd parties off the ballot including operatives like Lis Smith and Matt Corridoni. They’re essentially paid to slander RFK Jr on social media.
•State officials in Nevada basically create a new rule for collecting signatures AFTER Kennedy’s signatures were submitted, stating the VP must be named on the petitions. There wasn’t even a space for a name on the form provided by the state. This required 10k signatures to be recollected which were turned in earlier this month.
RFK Jr is currently suing the NV Secretary of State over the debacle. The DNC is also currently suing the NV SOS, but to block Jill Stein from the ballot.
•DNC operatives organize an attack on the Kennedy website events page, creating numerous obviously fake community events with inflammatory titles.
•Polling aggregators such as RCP begin including pay-to-play polls like YouGov, bringing down Kennedy’s polling average.
☔️ April
•DNC and dem org MoveOn pay several homeless individuals to hold signs outside a Kennedy rally in LA. MoveOn was caught changing the job listing, but the RFK camp secured screenshots.
•The DNC tries to remove Kennedy from the ballot in Hawaii and loses
🌸 May
•Dems claim Kennedy petitioners misled signers in NY as to who they were signing for. Petitions were collected by volunteers (in full RFK Jr swag) and by a paid team, Meridian Strategies, that was recommended by a DNC strategist. Guess which group was accused. Once the allegation was made, the team said fine - all Meridian signatures were thrown out, they were referred to law enforcement, and team Kennedy still had tens of thousands over what was needed.
The DNC has since filed a lawsuit in NY to keep Kennedy off the ballot
☀️ June
•A dem-backed group in NC, Clear Choice Action, launches a text campaign to ask petition signers for both RFK Jr and Cornel West to withdraw their signatures. They then review all signatures and send a letter to the state board to have them tossed for both candidates.
•CNN colludes with Biden and Trump to keep RFK Jr off the debate stage with arbitrary rules they don't even follow.

In addition to all of those things, add in a bought-and-paid-for mainstream media and you have a lot of power.
When I hear people say that Trump is the enemy of the establishment, I laugh. If they didn’t want Trump on the ballot, he wouldn’t be there.
This is what it looks like to be a real threat to those in power. Every day is a battle just to keep moving forward.
They can pull all the dirty tricks they want, but guess what? We’re going to expose them, and we’re bringing receipts 💅🏻
Presidents Biden and Trump do not want me on the debate stage and CNN illegally agreed to their demand. My exclusion by Presidents Biden and Trump is undemocratic, un-American, and cowardly. Americans want an independent leader who will break apart the two-party duopoly. They want a President who will heal the divide, restore the middle class, unwind the war machine, and end the chronic disease epidemic.
@jacksonhinkle Probably a little reluctant to support Russia in the middle of a war. Protecting their interests doesn't mean they've changed their stance on mass murder and genocide. This image is from 2/23/2022.
