Businessman @ZachLahn surprised the state of Iowa getting the GOP nomination for Governor but before Iowans can vote for him, they have questions about the permanency of his data center "moratorium," what was discussed in his meetings with big ag, and if he will take a hard stance against them if elected.
Lahn is also asked about if he aligns more with Chris Jones, Democrat running for Secretary of Agriculture, and is asked if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a captured entity, as he has claimed, will he make an Iowa-focused version of the EPA with individual labeling requirements like California?

Did a bit of research on this yesterday.
This shootout happened right in front of a Flock camera.
There are 17 other flock-style cameras within a one mile radius of this event. The police have zero suspects, and have made zero arrests almost four days later. Some are owned by Motorola, some are owned by Flock Safety, and some are owned by Axon.
@Flock_Safety and like-minded systems are not about protecting citizens or enforcing the law. They are an attempt to nationalize the HOA system to increase non-tax related revenue from minor infractions in complete violation of every American's 4th Ammendment right.
Your local government doesn't seek to take criminals off of the street. It seeks more money from your wallet now that taxation has reached its natural cap, and the "ALPR" system is how they've elected to increase revenue from fines.
This will become more insidious when city governments start selling off that revenue to foreign nations for fast budget bumps, like when Chicago sold their parking meter revenue over 75 years to Abu Dhabi in 2008.
With a government run surveillance system this large, it should be impossible for crime like this to go unpunished for longer than 12 hours. Since we are not seeing that level of security, we should all believe instead that the system is not about security at all. City and state officials pushing ALPR cameras need to be removed from their office by any means nessecary.
@Rob_ThaBuilder I was once with you back when Democrats used the phrase “safe, legal and rare.” The mask is way off now revealing they never really had any limiting principles.
The Left said climate change was SO IMPORTANT that they should be able to:
a) Rip out your gas appliances
b) Ban your gas vehicle
c) Tax you into oblivion
Then, Elon supported Trump and they BURNED his Teslas.
It was never about the climate.
It was about controlling YOU.
I don't think our great-grandchildren will quite be able to grasp that this decade featured people going to Handmaid's Tale-themed protests, and not batting an eye at passing multiple niqab'ed women while enroute.
@DisrespectedThe Someone mentioned the problem of wild hogs in places like TX and all I can think is that this would be a great “kill 2 birds” scenario.
Flock is bad because:
It builds a searchable dragnet of Americans’ movements with persistent retention.
It operates without meaningful limits.
It allows searches without warrants or individualized suspicion in ordinary use.
It already has a clear track record of overreach and abuse.
🚨 BREAKING! @ZachLahn will abolish Flock cameras! 👏🏻
In Iowa, one man is ready to put #IowaFirst, while the other probably supports more surveillance & tyranny. 👁
@RTNToronto Just the mere pissed off tone in my dad’s voice would have had me in my seat and shutting up. That kid runs the house and apparently a whole airline too.
@IowaGOP@RobSandIA@ZachLahn Oh look, Rob was doing the thing literally everyone else was doing at that time. 🥱
Good thing for him the media was there to bestow him with adoration.
