“Carpenter V. United States” is literally the Supreme Court case that can be used to terminate ALL mass-cam surveillance technology rollouts, in all 50 States.
The Court held that acquisition of movement data on citizens falls under the 4th Amendment; and that ALL government agencies, at all levels, must first obtain a warrant signed by a judge before collecting that data on private, otherwise-unaccused citizens.
Your local police department is a government agency, and is NOT exempt from that REQUIREMENT.
If your community is resisting Flock, Axon, or any other surveillance-company stooges, arm yourselves with US Case Law and Precedent before undertaking the task.
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.

Woo hoo! 👏🏻
A Texas constable just unplugged every Flock surveillance camera in his county and told the company to come get its garbage out of a free society.
Hood County Precinct 2 Constable John Shirley refused to wait for another empty study or corporate promise.
He and his team went out, disconnected the entire network of license-plate readers, covered them, and shut the system down cold.
“Today is a good day for the Freedom of the people of Hood County,” he posted.
He explained that he had finished the job of shutting down the county’s Flock cameras, which had been completely unplugged and covered.
Those devices were constantly scanning and recording regular people just going about their day, and that kind of permanent, warrantless tracking does not belong in a free society.
Every drive past one of those devices meant a person’s license plate was captured, time-stamped, and stored in a searchable database without any warrant or suspicion.
This created constant logging of ordinary Americans as they went to work, church, or the store.
Shirley made the principle plain when he stated that by unplugging and covering them they were making it clear that privacy is not optional and mass surveillance is not how things are done in Hood County.
He described the action as what limited government looks like and stressed that people there should not have to wonder if every trip they take is being logged and stored.
He expressed pride that this real win for the citizens had been accomplished.
He then delivered the final blow by telling Flock Safety Systems to come get their garbage out of his county.
This decisive stand comes at the exact moment reports have already exposed dozens of cases where officers abused the same network to stalk private citizens.
The company’s CEO admitted they could have done more earlier, yet the cameras keep spreading and turning daily life into permanent digital records that can be searched at will.
Once this infrastructure blankets the country, the temptation to misuse it never disappears.
Constable Shirley has proved that one determined official can still push back and win.
Hood County has drawn the line, leaving the question of whether the rest of America will follow before the watching becomes so normal that freedom itself feels like a memory.
Demand the same action in your county and share this widely, because the surveillance net is already tightening while one Texas lawman has just shown how to start cutting it.

Butler County Ohio has voted to end Flock.
This came after an Ohio Grand Jury failed to indict an Ohio deflocker.
They don't have a legal or constitutional argument to bring a case. It's a clear Fourth Amendment violation.
Stay the course. Keep the pressure on.
@nicksortor Congress will never impose term limits on itself. With the Convention of States Resolution, We the People can. It also reins in spending and limits federal power. This isn’t symbolic—our petition goes directly to state legislators. Sign now: https://t.co/YfcUpRGJyP

SIGNS CLIMATE DECLARATION:
"THERE IS NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY"
CLAUSER & a global network of over 2,000 scientists and professionals have prepared this urgent message:
Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming
The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.
Warming is far slower than predicted
The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.
Climate policy relies on inadequate models
Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2. In addition, they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
Global warming has not increased natural disasters
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly.
Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities
There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt. The aim of global policy should be ‘prosperity for all’ by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society men and women are well educated, birthrates are low and people care about their environment."
Yes — we can term-limit Congress without their permission.
Article V lets 34 states force a Convention of the States.
Delegates propose the amendment.
38 states ratify.
Congress gets zero say.
The Founders built this escape hatch for a reason.
Time to use it.
🔥 THEY SAID IT NEVER HAPPENS… UNTIL IT DID RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES 🔥
A CNN panel just exploded.
Bush White House spokesman Pete Seat is sitting THREE FEET from Obama’s own strategist David Axelrod…
And he drops the nuclear truth:
“Barack Obama got on the 2008 Indiana primary ballot because Democrats in St. Joseph County submitted FRAUDULENT petition signatures. People — including the county Democratic chair — went to JAIL over it. He shouldn’t have been on that ballot.”
Axelrod freezes.
“How did that get determined?”
Seat doesn’t flinch:
“It was exposed TWO YEARS later. Went through the courts. People went to jail. That’s the problem… nobody caught it before he was already on the ballot.”
FACT CHECK: 100% TRUE ✅
In 2013, four Indiana Democrats were CONVICTED for forging those signatures — literally copying names off old petitions. Even a former governor’s name was forged. County Democratic Chairman Butch Morgan went to PRISON for orchestrating it.
The thing they swore “never happens”…
HAPPENED.
And a party chairman did hard time for it.
Election fraud isn’t a “conspiracy theory.”
It’s a documented crime.
And they got away with it long enough to change history.
Share this before they try to memory-hole it.
They raised over a billion dollars in a few months for Kamala.
Blew through it.
Lost.
And now the DNC is so financially wrecked they had to put their own headquarters up as collateral just to borrow $15 million.
These are the same people who want higher taxes out of your paycheck.
The same people who want to decide your healthcare.
The same people who want a say in the food supply.
They can’t even keep the lights on in their own building without going into debt… and some of you still think they should be trusted with the country.
That’s not loyalty.
That’s a mental disorder.
Quit voting Democrat.
If you only watch ONE video from the Fauci hearing today, it should be this one...
Bernie Moreno: "It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate.
Here I am sitting in front of you six years later, saying, "Who the fuck do you think you are for doing that?"
It is a total disgrace what you did to this country and my Democrat colleagues are standing there defending you.
I hope the voters of the United States of America watch the clips of every one of you doting on a guy who is more interested in being a celebrity than saving American people.
I will make it my mission to make certain that every single one of those Democrats who did that will see that clip over and over and over again.
Because there is no defense of what you did. You may have had a 50+ year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace."
Absolute MIC DROP!!!!!
