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.

At his press conference today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused me of promoting conspiracy theories because I told him, during an earlier telephone conversation, that some Americans had religious objections to the MMR vaccine because it contained fetal tissue. “There is no fetal tissue in the MMR,” he told me.
This is a segment from a videotaped deposition of Stanley Plotkin, the inventor of the MMR vaccine. Plotkin admits to butchering 76 aborted normally developing fetuses, all over three months old, in just one of the many studies that led to the development of his vaccine.
The rubella virus used in MMR-II is grown on the cultured cell line composed of lung tissue from an aborted three-month-old female embryo and listed as “WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts” in the ingredients of MMR-II as portions of these cells end up in each vial of MMR II.
During Dr. Plotkin’s deposition, Attorney Aaron Siri asked: “Isn’t it true that MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms cells substrate double-strand DNA and single-strand DNA per dose purposefully fragmented to approximately 215 base pairs in length?” Dr. Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that’s probably correct, yes.”
This equals approximately 646 billion pieces of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vial of MMR-II.
In addition to the human DNA, there is also an unspecified amount of human cellular debris in each dose of MMR-II.
During our phone conversation, Governor Shapiro also accused me of promoting vaccine misinformation. When I asked him for an example, he was unable to provide one, but this did not deter him from publicly repeating that accusation during his press event. As I told him, HHS does not tolerate misinformation by any employee. I offered to point to hundreds of instances of vaccine misinformation by the Biden administration about which I had never heard him complain.
Governor Shapiro also faulted me for the decline in Pennsylvania vaccination rates from 97% - 93.2%. When I pushed back on this assertion, he acknowledged that most of the decline occurred during the Biden administration. It’s unfortunately true that the government lockdowns, deceptions, manipulation, and overreach during Covid severely damaged public faith in the vaccine program.
Governor Shapiro’s press conference was an example of the same species of gaslighting.
The Trump administration is working to restore public trust not by gaslighting or manipulating, but by being truthful, at last, with the public.
They decide who gets rain, who doesn't. They decide how toxic that rain is. Nobody has a right to experiment on us in this manner. Geoengineering is nothing less than weather warfare, do you object?
You cannot have a legitimate discussion about climate change unless you discuss climate engineering first and foremost. You can't eliminate the biggest part of the puzzle of all. These people have to be held accountable. Raytheon, one of the largest weather modification players, does all the weather modeling for the National Weather Service and NOAA. You have the foxes, quite literally, running the henhouse. Lockheed Martin does all the modeling for the FAA. We have a lot of disaster capitalists on this, as I mentioned, Monsanto. We have weather trading derivatives going on. So while they're trying to hide the full scope of damage with climate engineering, by doing even more damage at the same time from the same programs, they're also running gaming casinos on the stock market for weather trading derivatives. So they decide whose crops fail, whose don't. The media's betrayal is astounding. Are you opposed to that?

Hey, fuckwads trying to tell us that the new measles outbreaks are the fault of the unvxxd. Measles are not resurrected in a society that has already achieved herd immunity.
It would take an influx of millions of 3rd world trash that bring it with them, to do that....oh wait
The government’s 72 year old mandatory flu shot requirement for our military has been OFFICIALLY RESCINDED.
This is presumably because two studies confirm flu vaccines DON’T work – and actually INCREASE your risk of flu (+27%) AND other infections (+340%).
FDA REFUSED Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine because the company hadn’t tested it against the vaccines seniors actually receive.
Moderna called for White House intervention.
Trump intervened.
14 days later, FDA reversed itself.
The missing trial was never done.
Instead, FDA approved the vaccine for seniors and moved the experiment to after licensure, when up to 800,000 people will determine whether it actually provides greater clinical protection.
Meanwhile:
• ~137 people must switch vaccines to prevent one additional case of flu.
• For every 22 who switch, one additional person has a reaction severe enough to stop normal daily activity.
• FDA found 29 unexplained/sudden/sudden-cardiac deaths vs. 12 in controls. No autopsies were performed on the mFLUSIVA deaths.
• The FDA advisory panel voted 9–0. Twice.
• For seniors, FDA approved on antibodies, not demonstrated superiority in illness, hospitalization or death over the enhanced vaccines they already receive.
And this license can help lower the evidentiary burden for Moderna’s next mRNA vaccine.
This isn't just a story about a flu shot.
It is a story about what “FDA approved” now means.

Everyone thinking their conspiracy theory about Patrick Clancy is correct needs to listen to this woman’s first hand account. And shut the hell up, imo.
Jelly Roll just called the President of the United States a “fat pig” on national television.
A 41-year-old arrogant prick taking shots at an 80-year-old man from the safety of a late-night stage.
Completely out of line.
Funny how the same guy who leaned on Ozempic to drop 300 lbs is now body-shaming the President.
Career just ended.
Patriots, do your thing!
For all Canadians:
Canada was selling Chinese steel and aluminum as Canadian products, so China avoided paying US tariffs. When told to stop doing that, Canadian government refused.
That's why the trade deal died. Canada needs to negotiate honestly. imho
WOW 🚨 Foreign born man in California caught setting up fraudulent hospice companies and working with mortuaries to get the names of dead people to bill Medicare
- He stole $27 MILLION
- California didn’t care he misspelled his hospice company names, one was spelled “Holly Trinity"
- He bought a Rolls Royce
- His patients were dead people
- He billed $33,000 per patient per year
“Prosecutors are also charging 2 accomplices — the manager of a mortuary, who gave David Shachar names of people who recently passed in exchange for cash”
This is the exact type of fraud Nick Shirley was investigating and exposing and Democrats just made it illegal to investigate in California
Gavin Newsom signed the Stop Nick Shirley act shock will protect these foreign fraudsters stealing our tax money in the future
America has its smallest cattle herd in 75 years, yet President Trump is waiving $500 million in tariffs to flood our market with foreign beef. That same money could pay American cattlemen $200 per head to retain 2.5 million heifers and rebuild our herd. Instead, we’re rewarding foreign beef and punishing American cattlemen.
Here is a thought. Instead of buying foreign beef at a discount, how about dropping packers, restrictions and added costs paid by American ranchers, and let them supply the market with better, much higher quality locally grown products? Allow them to sell direct to consumers!
Beef prices are too high for a simple reason: Our cattle herd is too small. Imported beef below market prices will only put more pressure on our cattlemen. I have advised the President against this ill-advised action in the past and I now urge him to reconsider. We need to support our cattlemen, grow the herd, and let the market work.
In 2025, Trump bailed out Argentina with $20 billion dollars currency swap.
Now Trump is going to buy 300,000 metric tons of ground beef apparently from Argentina undercutting the American cattlemen.
Trump claims Argentina is dying and they need the help.
Actually it’s the American cattle industry that is suffering and dying with an average of 77 cattle producers going out of business every day.
Put Americans FIRST!!!
BREAKINGNEWS Trump says hes helping Argentina Cattle Farmers out because they are dying. He claims the reporter doesn't understand thier struggles as 315 US farmers filed bankruptcy in 2025. Thats an increase of 46% year over year. He's lost the plot. 🚨
