Canadian wildfire smoke has turned our sky purple-ish with ash particles floating everywhere. Stay inside if you can, Michigan. This is brutal. 

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

Yep! Way past time to get out.

[Five Times August @FiveTimesAugust]

Remember when the war that wasn’t a war was only going to last two weeks?

That was February. 😵‍💫

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Well said

@KristenMeghan I'm currently watching Day 3 of the Trial. I had doubt after watching Day 1 and the time line of events. His whereabouts after leaving CVS and arriving at Three V left plenty of time to get home and back to Three V.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

This is insane!

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

When the Pentagon's former AI policy director says we are drifting toward China's surveillance model, that should stop everyone in their tracks. No warrant. No probable cause. Just a permanent record of where you’ve been and where you drive.

This is precisely why the Fourth Amendment exists.

@MeshawnMaddock Outlandish! I'd be furious.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

@DonnieDetroit19 Public observation isn't the same as permanent, searchable, tracking. Flock turns everyone's movement into electronic data-something a person could not do w/ordinary observation. Protected by the 4th Amendment & Mich. Const. Sec. 1, Art. 11 . Legit outrage.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

I call them Automate Vehicle Readers.

[Rep. Keith Self @RepKeithSelf]

Rep. Keith Self: “AI has supercharged the surveillance state, trampling our God-given right to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects. These cameras are no longer just license-plate readers looking for vehicles of interest…”

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

@BobDinMI Now we need to work harder at getting James in the lead.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

The fear message is exactly what these law enforcement agencies are using to convince Americans to be okay with them violating our 4th Amendment Right. Don't allow that to be your reason to give up your freedoms.

[Kacee Allen @KaceeRAllen]

Franklin County, Texas Chief Deputy Daniel P. Foy is upset about the non-renewal of flock cameras in his county.

I haven't been to Goodwill in quite some time. I definitely won't be even considering spending money there ever again.

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

This was a really poor decision by Goodwill. It’s all donations - they get everything for free.
I will no longer be donating.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

And, this is the difference. Yet, many Americans use the argument to give the government a pass on mass surveillance. News Flash police are still required to get a warrant for cell phone data/records.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

A smart phone is a choice to be monitored. A flock camera is not.
You either want a nation that lives by its constitution or you don't.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

Northern Michigan is ripe with Automatic Vehicle Readers. Its s not just the plate captured.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

Great! As a teacher your personal/political beliefs don't belong in the classroom.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

@KristenMeghan It was mice meeting you.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

As an Alternate Delegate at yesterday’s MIGOP Convention, I watched Warren & Morse-Bills bundled into ONE vote for MI Supreme Court. Delegates weren’t given a separate vote on each nominee. You either voted AYE for both—or risked voting against Warren too. That concerns me.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

What I reject is turning every resident, worker, parent, churchgoer, patient, customer, and traveler into a searchable data point simply because technology makes it possible. No to warrant-less mass surveillance!

[Sheriff Keith Swank @SaveOurSheriff]

Let's be clear about surveillance cameras.

People on the far right hate them because they think it is government over-reach.

People on the far left claim the same thing, but they are lying. Groups like this one are on the far left. They only oppose these cameras because they do not want violent criminals arrested, especially violent illegal aliens.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

@SaveOurSheriff This isn't left vs. right. I support effective law enforcement, but public safety and constitutional liberty are not opposing values. Investigate suspects—not everyone. Government should justify its intrusion; citizens shouldn't have to justify their privacy.

[MrsAmyL Drake @Mrsamyldrake]

We don't compromise the Constitution, silly rabbit.

[Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany]

🚨 I asked Flock CEO @glangley about legislative efforts to ban or limit Flock cameras and privacy concerns.

"These are important conversations to have..." he said before expounding upon the importance of balancing safety and privacy.

"What we have to prioritize as a country is compromise," he continued

"How do we have our safety and how do we balance privacy?"

"So when I think about legislation that calls for an outright ban, that's like banning vehicles. That would never have made sense."

"Instead, what we did is we introduced laws against drunk driving. We introduced laws around seatbelts, laws around airbags."

The CEO went on to detail two key things they must get right.

@MonicaYatooma It needs to be changed.
