In Australia there was a petition for a mosque to be allowed to sound out its call to prayer for 2 minutes each week. When somebody looked a bit deeper into it there was a lot more to it.... the residents of the area would have 3 options, if they accepted the call to prayer it meant they accepted the islamic faith, if they didn't return the call to prayer then they either lay down their arms & pay a tax, if they do nothing its all out war.... wtaf 😯
this man left his house for a lemonade and the flock cameras said he was doing something completely different. living right doesn’t mean shit to these cameras and the police dude BDDHDH
Sorry, but if your religion teaches you to hate dogs because they are ‘impure’ and ‘haram’, maybe it’s time to realize your religion is not a religion of peace.
It’s pure evil!
🚨BOOM BIG BACKFIRE: Hochul’s anti-ICE law just exploded in her face.🚨
Fifteen New York sheriffs just sued her.
Not activists. Not politicians. Elected sheriffs from across the state just hauled the governor into federal court over her ban on 287(g) agreements with ICE.
She told them “bring it on.”
They did.
The law that was supposed to stop local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities is now being challenged by the very officers she tried to handcuff. They’re calling it unconstitutional overreach that strips independently elected sheriffs of their authority and puts public safety second.
Hochul threatened to sue the sheriffs if they didn’t comply.
Now they’re suing her.
This is not a small protest. This is a direct legal revolt from law enforcement against the governor of New York.
The backfire is real — and it’s just getting started.
🇺🇸 Somebody in the Senate FINALLY asked who authorized 120,000 cameras tracking American drivers
The letter to Flock Safety's CEO:
"Congress never authorized the network your industry has built."
Hawley is demanding documents on data access, camera placement, contracts with local governments, investors, and every known case of misuse since 2021.
He can push for a subpoena if the company stalls. Finally.
This network went up while nobody was looking, and the only rules governing it were written by the company selling it.
A Florida woman sat in jail for 13 days off a plate misread.
Missouri police have already been caught misusing the system.
Flock says the cameras helped find 10,000 missing people.
Fine... then open the books and prove the rest of it.

A police chief in Oshkosh, Wisconsin caught Flock lying to his city council, and killed the $8 billion surveillance company's contract less than a day after the council had approved it.
Here's how it happened.
The night before, Oshkosh's council was set to renew its deal with Flock Safety, the license plate camera company backed by a16z and Tiger Global.
One council member asked the Flock rep a plain yes-or-no question. Does this system build a heat map of everywhere a specific car travels over time?
Flock's rep said no.
The council believed him and voted 5 to 2 to renew. By the next morning, Chief Dean Smith's own officers had told him that answer was false.
So he pulled up the system himself. He watched it generate the exact heat map Flock had just sworn it couldn't make.
Then he walked into an emergency meeting and said it out loud: "Because of this misrepresentation, I can no longer recommend Flock."
Understand what a heat map is, because it's the whole trick.
Flock sells cities a tidy little story. A car drives by, we snap a photo, we read the plate, that's all it is.
But the same system can quietly average out where your car goes day after day and paint your routine onto a map.
Not one snapshot at one corner. Your pattern. Where you sleep, where you work, where you keep going back and how often.
A Flock employee later admitted on the record that the software does exactly that.
So the pitch and the product are two different things. The company wins the contract selling a plate reader, then sits on a moving map of your life.
The only reason Oshkosh caught it was one skeptical question and a police chief who bothered to check the answer.
The vote to rescind was 7 to 0. Unanimous.
Flock called the whole thing "one small misconception" from a long meeting and said it was disappointed nobody let it explain.
A surveillance company worth eight billion dollars got caught lying about whether it maps where you drive. Its defense was that the lie was small.
Oshkosh got one honest answer by accident. Congress can make it the rule.
