@Cartel_Cal Was super juiced to get access. Got the $15 welcome gift for being a premium X subscriber. Likely going to use this new bank account to get some returns on cash. We’ll see how it goes with sending $$ to others on X.

The Constitution does NOT give you rights. You already have them.

The Constitution simply tells the government that it cannot take those s rights away.

I wish more people understood this.

@RandPaul Can we just end the Federal income tax already?!?!?

@mazemoore Man, I have never heard of Action Park but I am convinced that it was an epic experience purely based on how you opened the explainer to your boy. Well done good sir, well done.

@catturd2 Man oh man, I’m envious. I am super eager to have the opportunity.

@Cartel_Cal @AGRobBonta These knuckleheads have never heard of:
The shoe being on the other foot
Turnabout is fair play
Don’t throw rocks when you live in a glass house

@johnrich I’d buy one immediately!

@bennyjohnson Not having a driver’s license is not even a correct measure as CA issues them to anyone, even non citizens. On top of that, the state is a CDL mill.

@SuperBasedInCa @50Luckydog @Hunter_Eagleman Like the same “voters” as the ones coming in to bump Pratt out.

@elonmusk When the state chose to give drivers licenses to anyone and left the checkbox for enrollment for voting set to true with an on-screen warning that it is illegal to register if not eligible and then never verified eligibility, you get a lot more ballots to use in this scheme.

@MAGAVoice @alx Waiting to get opportunity to sign up.

This is the gateway to convictions based on future crime…

Maybe you wonder why I, a mere gun blog, makes a big deal about Flock and similar tech?

OK here’s a real world situation that can easily happen and has likely happened.

Unfortunately to drive on public roads without getting hassled by the cops, your car needs a license plate. That’s tied to you, the owner of the vehicle.

Flock isn’t just a traffic camera, it’s an AI/ML enabled (wait for it) flock of cameras that transmit all their video and audio to the mothership. Not a government server somewhere but, to keep it simple, a big giant cloud computer instance owned and run by Flock, the company.

Government users, as well as Flock employees here in the US and overseas, can log in and query the system based on license plate number or even vehicle description and get a full history of that vehicle’s movements throughout the Flock network over multiple jurisdictions. Someone in New York can track a car from Armonk all the way to Homestead FL if they feel like it from the comfort of their desk.

On a daily level, someone can get a pretty accurate picture of someone’s life just by monitoring their movements via Flock. And I’m using this example to rattle the cage of the “back the blue unconditionally” crowd in 2A.

OK - your car has license plate ABC 123 - and Flock knows this. Someone can enter your tag in Flock and see what you are doing on a daily basis. You leave your home where the neighborhood is under the Flock panopticon. Flock sees you drive to Dunkin’ on Main Street, then you drop your kid off at XYZ Daycare. Then you go to work at the local IT consulting firm in ZZZ industrial park. You go pick up a quick deli sandwich for lunch at Food Lion. You go back to work. On the way home you stop off at Bob’s Guns, and stay for 20 minutes while buying some ammo. Then you go home. Everywhere there’s a Flock camera.

Now Flock knows the following about you:

- You live at 123 Wisteria Lane
- Your kid is in daycare (means he’s likely under 5)
- You work at ZZZ
- You go cheap on lunch
- You own at least one gun

Your license plate is tied to you so they now have your name and assumed-to-be-private details of your life, like that you are armed.

On the reverse of that, the Flock camera outside of Bob’s Guns has been recording the plates of everyone going into the parking lot. No need for a firearms registry when Flock is doing the work.

All of this is done without a warrant and the data is available to anyone with a certain level of access to the system, whether it’s a cop, or a Flock technician in the Philippines. FYI Flock uses overseas contractors for support and AI annotation.

The 2018 Carpenter decision at SCOTUS ruled that pervasive surveillance where one can divine private details of someone’s life is a 4th Amendment violation in absence of a specific warrant.

Flock is illegal, unconstitutional and immoral.

And a danger to everyone, not just gun owners.
