MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Dane County Sheriff Deputies put bags over all 26 Flock cameras across the county on Friday morning.

The covers were put on the cameras after the Dane County Board and community members expressed concerns that the cameras were not removed after the county’s contract with Flock Safety ended on May 31st.

The board voted to end the contract in April.

County officials hope the bags stop Flock from collecting data and prompt the company to finally remove the cameras.

Faster, tighter tolerances - appears I am missing the third leg of the stool. Any ideas?

I drove to 648 Grassmere Park to see it for myself.
I had no idea what was about to be built 50 yards from the @nashvillezoo.
A data center. Right against the treeline where the animals my kids grew up visiting are kept.
I’m not anti-technology…
The phone you’re reading this on is tied to one of these somewhere. We all live in this now.
But here’s the thing nobody’s telling you: a low hum doesn’t stop at a wall. It goes right through it. And the zoo’s own CEO says it’d sit 50 yards from animals they’ve spent decades trying to protect and breed.
No study. No rules. No vote. Just a rushed permit.
You don’t have to hate the future to say: not like this.
The petition’s in my bio. Takes 10 seconds.
Right now, 10 seconds is the whole fight. 🐆

'Ucrainenii au încărcat și au direcționat drona pentru aruncarea în aer a terminalului de petrol, contînd și pe alăturatul depozit de azotat de amoniu. Asta ar fi ras instantaneu cu totul cam jumătate din Constanța și, mai ales, ar fi șters urmele, exploziile spulberînd orice firicel din drona controlată permanent de atacatorul ucrainean.

Dacă nimerea, drona era rusească - vorba unui amic pe care-l prețuiesc mult. Doar că drona s-a înfipt și s-a blocat în balizele antipoluare. N-a mai putut mișca.

În tot acest timp, operatorul ucrainean al dronei avea permanent control vizual satelitar, în timp real, prin camerele video ale sculei, perfect funcțională cu excepția agățării ei în balize. Operatorul a văzut astfel că niște unii s-au apropiat și că filmează drona de la nici 10 metri distanță. Deci obiectul delict era nu doar blocat, ci deconspirat și ușor atribuibil statului producător și utilizator cu mare succes. E plin internetul de povești eroice despre lovirea cu dînsele, în două rînduri, a Podului Crimeei, între altele.

Cînd ucrainenii au văzut,  în timp real, că românii filmează drona neatinsă au sunat la București înainte s-o detoneze controlat. Au sunat nu din dragoste aliată, ci pentru a distruge în siguranță electronica în care încărcaseră traseul și ținta prestabilite. Altfel s-ar fi dovedit cu probe pipăibile că au țintit cu premeditare ce au țintit.

Pierdea controlului dronei prin bruiaj rusesc - adică varianta oficializată inclusiv de la cel mai înalt nivel în România - e o harneală pentru vîrsta unui școlar neatent de clasa a patra. Las' că rușii s-a lins pe bot de Starlink-ul american cu antena la vedere pe drona filmată. "Pierderea controlului" e anulată de telefonul de la ucraineni care a anuntat detonarea dispozitivului pentru - repet - distrugerea probei.

Pe scurt: ne-a ferit Dumnezeu.
Ne-a ferit numai bunul Dumnezeu, cu niște balize antipoluare agățate de coada unei monstruozități cu care România - deci NATO - trebuia tîrîtă în război, nenorociților!!!"

KAREN BASS DIDN’T MOVE AT ALL IN THE LATE BALLOT DROPS.

Spencer Pratt plummeted.

Nithya Raman skyrocketed.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING about that is organic.

They played all their cards to rig this thing in broad daylight in pure panic.

Let the investigations begin.

The real reason they don’t want voter ID is to commit voting fraud. That is the obvious truth.

On election night, no-name, no support Nithya Raman sobbed & conceded the race

She apologized to her family for failing

This made sense. She polled in the single digits & bombed in the debate. Now a historically insurmountable 3rd place

This was before “the machine” took over

🚨 Starmer is about to ban under 16s from social media. And the establishment is already pushing to extend it to under 18s.
They want you to believe this is about protecting children. It is not. To enforce an age limit on social media every single user in Britain will be forced to upload their passport to a government approved database just to prove they are allowed to speak online.
They are not building a child safety net. They are building a national ID database through the back door and using your children as the excuse to do it.
First they arrested people for tweets. Then they monitored legal posts. Now they want your passport before you are allowed to have an opinion. RT if you see exactly what they are building. 🇬🇧

"It could be that these politicians..." --- Sorry you misspelled 'ordertakers'

[Mullvad.net @mullvadnet]

Some politicians in the UK think it is a good idea to introduce identity verification for using VPN services.

It could be that these politicians do not understand what they are proposing. The alternative, that they do understand, would be even worse.

Whistleblowers, activists, and journalists depend on anonymous VPN services. Requiring identity verification for VPN services would put them at risk. It would also have a chilling effect on online debate (VPNs can help people post anonymously on social media).

In authoritarian countries, VPN services are crucial forcriticizing the government. That is precisely why such governments seek to ban or restrict them. Hopefully, the UK will not join that list.

"If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed." - Kind of says it all

[F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli]

California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls

California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including:

-Gym membership card
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants)

Full list: https://t.co/BvfviJsYG8

This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look.

We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.

On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot.

For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.

@AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed.

What are they afraid of?

If Spencer Pratt is knocked out of the runoff on late “mail in ballots”, President Trump should send in the national guard to re-run the LA Mayor election.

This is utterly ridiculous.

"[...] politicians seek to massively invade everyone’s privacy and undermine democratic rights [...] they do not want to protect children; they want to impose control."
