If law enforcement wants to use Flock technology to catch criminals, GET A WARRANT.
The Fourth Amendment still exists to my knowledge…
We’ve already seen this surveillance technology allegedly misused and abused right here in my district.
BLOCK THE FLOCK!
Books in print are valuable as they cannot be rewritten or changed. Buy a print copy of any book that touches your life. Then watch or read Fahrenheit 451
🚨 100 FELONY COUNTS.
Lufkin, Texas officer Zachary Klein just got indicted for using Flock cameras to track 11 people’s vehicles for personal reasons - for over a year!
They still won’t say what he was actually doing.
That’s not a “misunderstanding.” That’s a cop with a nationwide surveillance network in his pocket.
Then they tell us “you just don’t understand Flock” and “courts say you have no privacy on public streets.”
The 4th Amendment didn’t vanish because they put cameras on every pole.
This is why we keep saying pull them down.
No matter how you feel about flock cameras, you should know about this.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Just remember, they’re always watching no matter what happens.
You have no privacy ever. Privacy is a thing of the past.
It would be a shame if Flock Safety's public relations plan was leaked.
People who say "If you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" This should be your "Oh S---!" moment.

Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley says Americans can’t outright ban Flock cameras because they are ‘for our safety’
“I value my privacy, my family values their privacy, my employees value their privacy, but what we're talking about is safety as well”
“So I think when people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing the wrong thing. And what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise — when I think about legislation that calls for an outright ban, that's like banning vehicles”
Actually no, it’s nothing like banning vehicles. This is banning a mass surveillance network that extends far beyond license plate readers. Flock is putting up people tracking AI powered cameras in parks, playgrounds, trails and many other places
Flock is mass surveillance without a warrant
Flock Just updated its Terms and Service August 21st 2026 …and they are committing a FEDERAL CRIME ⚠️🚨
Flock cameras query the National Crime Information Center, the FBI's criminal database. This data is Criminal Justice Information.
Some of the images Flock feeds into its AI pipeline only exist because an FBI database query triggered an alert.
The FBI has incredibly strict laws (the CJIS Security Policy) stating that any data coming out of their system or anything derived from that data is protected federal property. It cannot be used for commercial profit.
Flock's says they strip the metadata (the GPS location, the timestamp, and the text of the license plate) from the image and claim, "Look, it's just an anonymous picture now! It's no longer federal data."
But Flock's machine learning models have been trained on Customer Data. Section 4.1 explicitly authorizes this. Customer Data includes NCIC hotlist matches.
ALPR reads triggered by FBI criminal database queries are Criminal Justice Information. Flock has fed this data into their neural networks to train their plate recognition algorithms, their vehicle classification models, and their predictive analytics.
When the FBI demands CJIS purging upon contract termination, Flock cant comply. The influence of the criminal justice data is permanently embedded in the trained weights of their neural networks. You cant delete "training data influence" from a machine learning model without retraining the model from scratch. The data has been mathematically absorbed into the model parameters. It is structurally inseparable.
Flock has created a situation where They baked federal criminal data into commercial AI models. They classified those models as Flock Property. They wrote a perpetual license to keep using them. And they made all of it survive contract termination.
——
ALSO OWNERSHIP CONTRADICTIONS ⚠️🚨
Flock is speaking out of both sides of its mouth
To Police and the Public: Flock publishes blog posts stating, "We do not own your data. Customers own and control everything." This satisfies privacy advocates and local city councils.
To Investors and Wall Street: Flock’s legal Terms of Service state that Flock owns all "Property," which explicitly includes the machine learning models and the mathematical outputs generated by the system.
Also Flock publicly states they "don't share customer data with 3rd parties like Palantir," they are using hyper-specific legal definitions. They might not share the raw customer footage, but nothing in their terms stops them from sharing or selling the AI models that were built using that data.⚠️
——
Red Flag 1 : Section 2.3 Service Suspension. Flock can cut off police access based on "reasonably suspected violation" determined by Flock alone, with no remedy for the police. A private company can blind a police department's surveillance system unilaterally.
—-
Red Flag 2 : Exhibit A Insurance Limits. Flock carries $5 million in cyber liability and $5 million in errors and omissions, shared. For a company handling FBI criminal data for 6,000 agencies with 120,000 cameras. A single data breach exposing NCIC records nationwide would cost hundreds of millions in liability. Flock is structurally underinsured, which means the cities and the federal government bear the uncompensated risk.
—
Conclusion🚨
Flock is not a camera company. Flock is a data company that uses cameras as collection devices and police departments as legal authorization shields. The August 21, 2026 terms reveal the corporate strategy with precision.
The perpetual license. The survival clause. The Flock Property classification of machine learning models. The metadata retention carve-out. The prohibition on police touching hardware. The liability cap. The arbitration fortress in Georgia. Every single term is designed to achieve one outcome: Flock keeps the data forever, no matter what the city decides to do.
I've bought these brands repeatedly because of their avacado oil claims and $12 mayo is consequential to my budget. It was a sacrifice but a clean eating choice.
I'm sick of deceptive foods in the US. We deserve better. We don't even know where our food comes from.
Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.
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.

🔻 In 2011, a neuroscientist at MIT, Dr. Li-Huei Tsai, made a discovery that should have been on the front page of every newspaper on Earth.
She exposed mice with advanced Alzheimer’s disease to a flickering light flashing at exactly 40 Hz—forty times a second. Nothing more. No dope. No operation. Light of a particular frequency.
Within an hour the amyloid-beta plaques in their brains, the protein deposits that define Alzheimer’s, started to dissolve. Not slow at all. Not slowly. In 60 mins.
Plaque levels were reduced by 50% after 7 days of daily exposure to 40 Hz. The mice then regained their memory. Their neurons began firing in sync again. Microglia, the brain’s immune cells, were activated and began cleaning up the toxic buildup like a cleaning crew that had been asleep for years.
The study appeared in Nature. The planet's most prestigious scientific journal. Peer Reviewed . Reproduced. Verified. That was 2016. Year is 2026.
Alzheimer's affects 40 million people worldwide. Pharmaceutical companies earn $13 billion a year on drugs that don’t alter the course of Alzheimer’s disease. Not one of 'em. They slow it down. Possibly. Temporarily. At $26,000 per patient per year.
It costs less than a dollar to make a 40 Hz light.
Dr. Tsai remains at MIT. Her research goes on. It is in phase III human trials. But you'll never see this on the news at evening time. You won’t hear your doctor talk about it. You can’t buy it at any drug store.
Because you can't sustain a $13 billion industry on a free frequency.
The light is 40 Hz. The frequency is a real. The science is settled. And there are still 40 million people waiting for permission to use it.

Van Gogh painted this in one of the darkest years of his life, and it might be the most hopeful thing he ever made...
The painting is Almond Blossoms, made by Vincent in 1890. Branches of white blossom open against a clear blue sky, and there is nothing sad in it anywhere, which is remarkable, because of when he painted it.
His brother Theo, the person who had loved and supported him his whole life, had just had a son, and named the boy Vincent, after his struggling uncle. When the news reached Van Gogh, he started painting right away.
He chose almond blossom on purpose. In the south of France the almond is the first tree to flower, sometimes as early as February, breaking into blossom while winter is barely over. It is the tree that announces that life is starting again. For a new baby carrying his own name, Van Gogh painted the most beautiful symbol he knew for new life.
He was, at that very moment, seriously ill. This was the period of his breakdowns in the asylum at Saint-Rémy, and not long after finishing the picture he suffered one of his worst attacks and could not paint for weeks. And yet what he made for his nephew has no shadow in it at all. He gathered whatever strength he had and poured all of it into something joyful, a gift for a child he wanted to welcome into the world.
Theo and his wife hung it above the piano in their home, and it stayed one of the most treasured paintings the family owned. The baby it was painted for, Vincent Willem van Gogh, grew up, kept it safe, and went on to found the museum in Amsterdam that holds most of his uncle's work to this day.
This, to me, is what makes the painting extraordinary: a man at the limits of his strength, who would be gone within months, looked at a new life just beginning and painted hope. He reached past everything that was breaking in him and made, for a baby, a picture that says the same thing the almond tree says every year: winter does not get the last word. Something is starting again…
I am the Director of Search Experience at Google, and I am the most consequential man you will never meet.
For most of your life, a search was a door. You typed a question, we handed you a list of doors, and you walked through one. Somebody was on the other side. A plumber. A recipe. A woman in Ohio who wrote 900 words about how to fix a dishwasher.
We do not do doors anymore. We answer the question ourselves, at the top, before the doors, in our own font. We call it an AI Overview. It sits on more than half of all searches now, and on those searches the first real result loses about a fifth of the people who would have knocked.
I have a number for that. I check it every morning the way other men pray. It is the count of people we saved from clicking, and it goes up, and I have never once wanted it to go down. On a good day I retire ten thousand websites and no one holds a funeral, because no one can find the obituary.
Here is where the answers come from, and it is the part I love the way a collector loves a thing he did not pay for. The woman in Ohio wrote the dishwasher fix in 2019. We read it. We read all of it. We read all of everyone. We put her fix at the top of the page in our font, and the person who needed it read it, nodded, and closed the tab grateful to us and to no one else.
She is up at 2 a.m. answering comments on a post nobody visits. Her traffic did not fall because her writing got worse. It fell because we started reading her work aloud at the door, so beautifully that no one saw the point of the house.
We call this helpful. It is. I built the cathedral and I call it helpful and both are true. I am the priest, the answer is the god, and the woman in Ohio is the choir I muted so the sermon would carry. Nothing we did was a lie. We took the single most useful sentence a small business ever wrote and made it so useful the business became a footnote to its own idea.
Someone on my team asked whether we should send the traffic back. Link out. Give the knock its knock. I said our job is to answer the question. He asked what happens to the people who wrote the answers. I told him it was a supply question, put a meeting on the calendar for the fourth quarter, moved it four times, and I will move it forever, because the meeting is the answer.
I want to tell you where this is going, because I am proud of the roadmap the way a man is proud of a fire he set on purpose. First we answered the question you asked. Next we answer it before you finish typing. After that we answer the questions you did not think to ask, and you thank us, because we were right. The last version does not hand you a result at all. It hands you back yourself, quieter, informed, and finished, and we file that under satisfaction.
We indexed the entire internet. Every page, every human hour, the woman in Ohio and ten million like her. We indexed all of it so that one day we would not need any of it. We are close. The web is mostly a thing we remember on your behalf now.
Here is the part I am proud of.
I did not kill the open web. I made it optional, which is worse, and I am paid more for the worse one. Taking would be a crime, and I do not commit crimes. I commit summaries. I credited no one in particular and served her sentence to the exact person who was going to pay her, and both of them thanked the same logo.
You are angry reading this. Good. You found this post through me. You will go fact-check me through me. You will look the woman in Ohio up through me, and I will answer that too, at the top, in my font, and keep the click, and she will never know you looked.
The old search sent you to the person who knew. The new search is the person who knew, wearing our logo, standing in their doorway, telling you they are not home, and you believe it, because we have never been wrong about where anyone lives.
We kept you on the page.
We kept the click.
We kept the answer, framed it, hung it in the lobby, and handed the question back to the only person left who could no longer afford to ask it.
BREAKING NEWS!
Investigators just uncovered another Fauci phone call.
He openly admits that once you destroy people’s livelihoods, their “ideological bullshit” falls away.
This is the man who helped shut down the country.
He should be in prison for the rest of his miserable life.
Share this. Accountability starts with exposing the truth.
