@CoFoundersNik Credit card transactions and cell tower triangulation require warrants for police to search.

Ring cameras it’s up for debate, and someone worried about privacy wouldn’t have them.

Security cameras operating privately need owner permission.

@TX89898989 @AustinJustice A warrant requirement for searching the database

When you call 911, could a Flock drone be the first on scene? The answer is yes!

Reason’s @KeplingerAli shares more about this new tech that just got approved in Newport, Rhode Island.

@JSOPIO You should need a warrant to search Flock’s database. That is the only *remotely* responsible way to mass surveil people.

[Ali Keplinger @KeplingerAli]

@flocksafety Wow! I’m so excited for 2027 🥰

[Ali Keplinger @KeplingerAli]

@flocksafety That’s great. Could they have gotten a warrant and accomplished the exact same thing? Yes.

[Ali Keplinger @KeplingerAli]

@flocksafety THANK YOU BENEVOLENT OVERLORDS! I’m so glad that you are feeling generous today.

Now, where’s my warrant?

[DeFlock @therealDeFlock]

Well that's not good.

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.

It's repulsive how many people jeer at this stuff. Haiti is controlled by armed gangs. People are starving, it's hard to get basic essentials like medicine, & violence is routine. Every smug keyboard warrior mocking this man would also be sobbing if they were living his reality.

@RichardHanania The missing persons figure is Flock’s own analysis, where they only calculated the # of missing people found by departments that use Flock, regardless of if Flock was actually used.

[Ali Keplinger @KeplingerAli]

@Flock_Safety And how many of those are false positives? LA reports over a 30% error rate for stolen vehicle alerts. In Roseville, they report a 71% error rate of just the license plates being read.

How did one of the richest neighborhoods in Vegas become a desert wasteland that cost taxpayers hundreds of millions in only 10 years? Reason’s @keplingerali shares what happens when master plans fail to predict the future.

Did @elonmusk sentence millions to death by dismantling USAID? The study cited by @RoKhanna as the basis for that claim is statistical nonsense. https://t.co/UrR7iwMw24

Did @elonmusk sentence millions of people to death by dismantling USAID?

With some basic arithmetic and a bit of common sense, you can see why the study cited by @RoKhanna as the basis for that claim is statistical nonsense.

Should police be able to use school buses to spy on you?

At least 30 states already allow cameras on school buses to help catch and ticket cars that illegally pass. And now one company is taking its stop-arm cameras even further.
