@Alicat4Congress That's because you don't see men rallying behind murderers. Nice try, though.

Below, I have collected every bad faith argument in favor of the surveillance state, handed out to influencers during this paid op, and why each one is retarded. I put my heart and soul into this. Please enjoy.

1.) “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”

•This is retarded because it continues to treat a nationwide, searchable movement log as harmless even after officers have used it to stalk ex-girlfriends and the system has produced armed stops of innocent drivers.

2.) “They only catch criminals and find stolen cars or missing kids”

•This is retarded because it ignores that the default is photographing every passing vehicle, not a targeted warrant, and that alerts have already sent police after the wrong people.

3.) “Cameras are already everywhere so Flock is no different”

•This is retarded because it pretends a privately operated, AI-searchable national network with inter-agency lookup that bypasses due process, is the same as a local traffic cam or your neighbor’s doorbell.

4.) “Cities own the data and Flock is just a vendor”

This is retarded because audits showed federal agencies searching local plate data and Flock toggling national lookup without cities knowing.

5.) “Audit logs and purpose fields prevent abuse”

This is retarded because it is offered as a complete answer after officers typed “investigation” and still ran plates of girlfriends, and after the company itself later added tools because the old ones failed. The “safeguards” are just mandatory discipline for making their tyranny look bad.

6.) “It’s just a snapshot at a fixed point, not tracking”

•This is retarded because it is the legal talking point even though the product stitches those snapshots into paths, heat maps, and person-level files. It is warrantless dragnet, and it’s been unconstitutional for 60 years.

7.) “Critics just want to defund the police or normalize lawlessness”

•This is retarded because it recasts bipartisan privacy pushback and contract cancellations as a partisan conspiracy instead of answering for the actual access and misuse record.

8.) “Retention is only a few days and we don’t sell data”

•This is retarded because the selling point of the product is a shared national lookup of those same records and any civilian can walk off the street and get a job with access to that data.

9.) “It doesn’t collect personally identifiable information”

•This is retarded because not only were plates matched to owners, but the company built tools to jump from LPR to person.

10.) “It isn’t a search because it doesn’t open your door”

•This is retarded because logging every car into a queryable database is the modern version of a general warrant: rummage first, invent a reason later, and the 4th amendment was the answer to general warrants.

11.) “Phones already track you so Flock is fine”

•This is retarded because the state building a warrantless dragnet is not excused by the existence of private, voluntary apps and contracts that you can refuse or self regulate.

“12.) “It’s constitutional because courts like ALPRs”

•This is retarded because warrantless dragnet is not constitutional.

13.) “Flock just helps catch real criminals”

•This is retarded because selling a total location archive as enforcement is how you launder a dragnet. It’s trading our essential liberty for temporary security without our consent.

14.) “Opponents are just being dramatic or paid to hate tech and America and missing kids.”

This is retarded because the coordinated “Flock op” of identical accounts is insisting a warrantless catalog of every vehicle is the same thing as voluntary cameras while appealing to emotion, and that is anti-American redcoat shit.

@dom_lucre We already have one: Andrew Garfield

@BenPotter0701 Must be payday!

@theisabelb Eight months after having a baby, by the way. Eight months.

@NnPnemck We got to this point because of complicit morons with your childish reasoning. I remember similar brain-dead arguments when the Patriot Act passed and Habeas Corpus was repealed.

[Dan D. Lion @_DanDLion_]

@KennethRWebster So, why do we need more?

[Dan D. Lion @_DanDLion_]

@hecate40 @JonathanAEvers There is a big difference between voluntarily using phones, which can be left home, and massive hyperdata centers & flock surveillance I didn't consent to. Nice deflection avoiding my previous post, though. Now tell me reasons you're cucking for the surveillance state so hard.

[Dan D. Lion @_DanDLion_]

@hecate40 @JonathanAEvers @hecate40 here's a post you should take seriously.

[Dan D. Lion @_DanDLion_]

@JulieJonas18 Voted for Trump, but I still remember these brain-dead arguments from when the Patriot Act was passed and Habeas Corpus was repealed.
Nice try, though.

[Dan D. Lion @_DanDLion_]

@JasonBassler1 A mind that has never stood alone will give up truth for safety every time.

[Duckie @albynospyder]

Them- surveillance has been happening the last 30 years, there's no point in doing something about it now.

Me- now switch the word surveillance with pedophilia. You see how dumb your argument is?

[Dan D. Lion @_DanDLion_]

@hecate40 @JonathanAEvers Lol. Even your ad hominim is retarded. I'm certainly no Democrat or Communist, but that's rich coming from someone simping for the surveillance state.

[Dan D. Lion @_DanDLion_]

@albynospyder Agreed. I remember their similar brain-dead arguments when the Patriot Act was passed and Habeas Corpus was repealed.

@gay_lumberjack I remember similar brain-dead arguments when the Patriot Act was passed and Habeas Corpus was repealed.
