PSA: Fauci didn’t get his ass handed to him by anybody. What you saw is him remaining above the law in an act of political theater. These hearings took place after the statute of limitations expired and he’s been pardoned. It’s a mistake to believe political theater is reality.

the fact that this is the first time i have seen this type of system is insane.

The first Trump administration tried to usher in pre-crime to stop shootings and terror "before it happens" by having AI give Americans risk scores for "neuropsychiatric warning signs" based on their social media activity. The first Trump admin's AG Bill Barr also created the legal rails for pre-crime at the DOJ and FBI.

Now, the Trump administration is doing it all for real with Kash Patel, at a time when other admin officials have claimed that political opposition to their agenda is indicative of a "resurgence" of political "terrorism." Kash Patel has teamed up with Silicon Valley and AI to decide who gets put on the naughty list.

Instead of an uproar over the complete destruction of our remaining civil liberties, there are crickets. A good segment of people who used to claim they were advocates for civil liberties, personal freedoms and personal sovereignty are now instead tied up in embarrassing personality cults, NGU derangement syndrome, and/or bleating that "open source" AI will save us all.

The FBI's pre-crime AI could be "open source" and it would still work as intended and still be just as detrimental to our freedoms. Making a digital prison "open source" doesn't change how it functions, it just makes the walls a little more opaque, that is - if you can even read and understand the code, which most people can't.

"Open source" is a buzzword that has become largely meaningless, like "natural" on American food labels. Stop acting like it will save the US from tyranny. There is a reason the EXACT people involved in making AI pre-crime in the US a reality have been recently tweeting about how "open source" AI will somehow prevent its misuse by bad actors. They are lulling you into a false sense of security as they pull the switch.

The tyrants are in power, they are Neo-cons with a new coat of paint, it couldn't be clearer. They are now ANNOUNCING they are using AI to target domestic dissent, and whether it is open source or not, it will work as intended.

Are you retards starting to get it yet?

Cross the road in the wrong spot and you can get a fine or worse. They’re killing people, abusing kids, poisoning us, and they won’t be punished at all.

It's like watching a Catholic priest interact with a possessed object or a virologist working on a petri dish of smallpox.

These people have a deep seated ontological fear of these things.

It represents everything their worldview abhors.

A neoliberal cognito hazard.

Aristotle noted that tyrants take away arms while lawful regimes trust citizens with them. This observation is 2,300 years old.

Police pull over to arrest Florida man—for blocking Flock camera on public sidewalk.

He sat holding a 12-foot pool skimmer with sign taped on top.

Today all camera saw was sign:
"Down With Flock Cameras."

A witness offered to help:
"What's your name? I'll come bail you out!"

Carl Gunn, age 77, told a local reporter that 2 police cruisers had already stopped by to interrogate him for at least 15 minutes.

"I have a constitutional right to my privacy," he said.

"I’m a law-abiding citizen, and I don’t need anyone sticking their nose in my business... And if they do, I’m going to chop it off."

Flock cameras create an interconnected network that logs the movements of nearly every vehicle—without warrants.

Enabling broad surveillance that can be shared across agencies and used far beyond solving specific crimes.

Incident occurred in the Coquina Key neighborhood of St. Pete, Florida.

He doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Decided to go down a rabbit hole on Flock and actually read their TOS agreement and all the legal stuff on their website and its done nothing but reinforce my views on them (mass data collection and surveillance should be against federal law pursuant to the 4th Amendment).

Anyone that sells weather content or newsworthy video to media orgs knows what the section in yellow means. “You’re giving flock permission to use and disclose customer data in perpetuity.”

But I thought Flock doesn’t sell data to 3rd parties? Well, they have written their TOS to make it seem like they don’t sell our data outright but the underlined section is written as it is for a reason.

Basically even though data “ownership” is retained by the customer, the customer also gives Flock a free license to use your customer data in perpetuity (forever) for any manner that may improve Flocks products and services which is written extremely broad and vague on purpose. If they can use our data in any way to make them more profitable, then that’s improving their products and services. And they can continue to do this even if a customer terminates their agreement with flock. (They don’t have to own the data if they receive an irrevocable license in perpetuity to use it)

Combine this with their Feedback clause and you’ve got a business model that allows LEO’s to do certain things that normally would be protected by the 4th Amendment.

It also allows Flock to use LEO’s as corporate guinea pigs via any feedback received, in any manner, that they can use to better enhance their products which will also more importantly improve their balance sheet and their financial portfolio.

And for the people saying there’s no expectation of privacy in public, that is true, however that doesn’t mean I give a for-profit company my consent to monitor my movements enough so that they could build a product for LEO’s that contain a profile and pattern of life on anyone.

Wait until the next “pandemic” happens. If you thought the government forced lockdowns that destroyed so many small businesses in America were bad, with Flock and other companies like Leonardo with their SignalTrace integration, the next time there is a “pandemic” the amount of tyrannical government overreach will make Covid look like child’s play.
