Police officer becomes a whistleblower and says that Flock Safety Cameras are not what were being told they are
He says they are not just capturing license plates, they are capturing everything and being used for mass surveillance without a warrant, “It records the make, the model, color, bumping stickers, you name it — it's a very sophisticated AI software that uses a camera system to track and monitor every vehicle that goes by the camera lens”
“This information is shared city to city and even state to state without a warrant”
“Your consent was never required nor even asked for or even thought about when your city governments was putting up this new technology.
For example, the chief of the Pateka Police Department, she was confronted by a local reporter on this very question of what gave them the right to put up these cameras without consulting the public. Her response was, so the criminals wouldn't know about it and avoid detection. So there you go. That's their best argument about”
He says he brought up concerns about privacy and transparency and in return he was suspended without pay
He says we are headed the same way as the soviets and China
He says this is what you’re told by authority, “If you are worrying about it, it's because you have something to hide.
The philosophy that this innovation is already grounded on is already proven to be rotten. It's grounded on this idea that you, the citizen, are first and foremost a potential suspect or potential defendant that needs to be tracked and monitored for your safety and for the safety of others. It's the same philosophy that the Soviets and many authoritarian states during the 20th century adopted, and we all know how that worked out for them. It's the same philosophy that the Chinese are currently adopting right now and they have a similar surveillance system”
Keep in mind I’ve also shared videos of the Flock camera called “Condor”
This goes beyond vehicles and actually tracks you as you walk by. The cameras follow you, can zoom in and automatically detect you in areas
This goes way beyond license plate reading. This is the mass surveillance network being established in America
We are right around the corner from a police state
A man with NO criminal history was shot and killed by ICE.
As far as I'm concerned, Trump's DHS Secretary should get hauled in front of Congress to answer for every shooting.
We need a Congressional majority that will push for real answers and accountability. This cannot stand.
ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo yesterday.
ICE says he drove his car at them. But that's what ICE said about Renee Good, which was a lie. That's what they said after killling Ruben Ray Martinez, and that was a lie.
We need an independent investigation and accountability.
‼️🚨 Hasan Piker challenges Mitch McConnell to deny their affair: “I was sexting him last night. Go ahead, Mitch. Deny the relationship if you can. Oh really, you got a problem? Deny it. He can’t.”
🇵🇸🇪🇸 A Palestinian supporter invites the famous Spanish star Javier Bardem, known for his supportive stance on Palestine, to his home:
“When Palestine is liberated, you are invited to my home.”
Javier responds: “Every voice I have, I will give to Palestine, thank you.”
Mexico says it will pursue legal action against the U.S. following Tuesday's deadly shooting involving an ICE agent in Houston.
"Unfortunately, there has been another death of a Mexican national in the United States for being detained, when that person's only offense was lacking immigration documents, even though they had been hired by an American company," President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters Wednesday. https://t.co/njV5B7VUzA
Hasan Piker: “Fox News is Rape TV. It’s the pro-rape network. One of their rapists hosts is now the fucking Secretary of War. Pete Hegseth also has a Nazi tattoo on his motherfucking chest. He was such a prolific rapist that his own mother sent him an email begging him to stop raping”
ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.
I don't think republicans get it that we simply don't care what they have to say about anything anymore. They keep talking about Platner like we're listening. Go sit at the kids table and let the adults handle our business. You're a party of pedophiles rapists cultists conmen and terrorists. You simply can't support Trump and morally finger wag about anything ever again.
I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.
He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.
Very cool that the president with alzheimer's is talking about "the Islamic Republic of Japan" as he orders the carpet bombing of a funeral and calls the people there "scum". Also very cool that he's doing this to market manipulate and profit as the world runs out of oil reserves and a great depression looms.
Thanks Donald Trump for allowing the rest of the world to mock our football team because you couldn’t stop ruining everything you stick your nose into.
