@realjakejacks Yeah it’s like ok so you can’t expect privacy outside your home I get that to an extent. But does that mean the government can put up a surveillance camera network? I mean where does the government get authority to do that?
Thank you again everyone for your support of my Flock Camera Speech! Today I am announcing a petition to Ban Flock Cameras in Saint Charles County. I am proposing a draft resolution that would BAN Flock Cameras in the County. If we want the County Council or any given local municipality in Saint Charles to consider it, we need a member willing to sponsor it. That’s why I’m respectfully calling on Council Member Joe Brazil to sponsor it. Joe has a good track record of standing strong on important issues, our individual liberties, and is likely the only member on the council that would take it up. So Joe, would you be willing to support this? I would also be willing to work with ANY Council member or alderman willing to sponsor it on the local level. I am looking for citizen co-sponsors, so please sign my petition to become one! The text of my Resolution, number 17-76 is in the petition below:

@IkeSkeltonForMO I was proud a proud son of Missouri. But we have lost our way. We fought mass surveillance and stood up to big tech? Is that a joke?
Flock cameras. MODOT put up way more.

Cop uses Flock cameras & software to illegally track his mistress, his wife, his mistresses boyfriend, etc....
He is then suspended but keeps using the Flock (but I thought they were "secure" [they're not...]) system to unlawfully monitor these American citizens.
He's eventually pleaded to misdemeanors (not felonies?) and got "3 years of informal probation."
This is just one of thousands of cases where we know these systems are being unlawfully used - imagine how many times it's happening where we never hear about it...
To see if you or your loved ones are being tracked you can check HaveIBeenFlocked dot com - that site can only track one type of search and the State can search the system in many, many different ways that aren't accessible without a contract so it's incomplete.
Plan accordingly...

It's nearly impossible to drive anywhere in Texas without a so-called automated license plate reader (ALPR) snapping a photo of you and your car.
Over the last decade, police have been able to adopt ALPRs using an obscure state grant program.
Maybe you wonder why I, a mere gun blog, makes a big deal about Flock and similar tech?
OK here’s a real world situation that can easily happen and has likely happened.
Unfortunately to drive on public roads without getting hassled by the cops, your car needs a license plate. That’s tied to you, the owner of the vehicle.
Flock isn’t just a traffic camera, it’s an AI/ML enabled (wait for it) flock of cameras that transmit all their video and audio to the mothership. Not a government server somewhere but, to keep it simple, a big giant cloud computer instance owned and run by Flock, the company.
Government users, as well as Flock employees here in the US and overseas, can log in and query the system based on license plate number or even vehicle description and get a full history of that vehicle’s movements throughout the Flock network over multiple jurisdictions. Someone in New York can track a car from Armonk all the way to Homestead FL if they feel like it from the comfort of their desk.
On a daily level, someone can get a pretty accurate picture of someone’s life just by monitoring their movements via Flock. And I’m using this example to rattle the cage of the “back the blue unconditionally” crowd in 2A.
OK - your car has license plate ABC 123 - and Flock knows this. Someone can enter your tag in Flock and see what you are doing on a daily basis. You leave your home where the neighborhood is under the Flock panopticon. Flock sees you drive to Dunkin’ on Main Street, then you drop your kid off at XYZ Daycare. Then you go to work at the local IT consulting firm in ZZZ industrial park. You go pick up a quick deli sandwich for lunch at Food Lion. You go back to work. On the way home you stop off at Bob’s Guns, and stay for 20 minutes while buying some ammo. Then you go home. Everywhere there’s a Flock camera.
Now Flock knows the following about you:
- You live at 123 Wisteria Lane
- Your kid is in daycare (means he’s likely under 5)
- You work at ZZZ
- You go cheap on lunch
- You own at least one gun
Your license plate is tied to you so they now have your name and assumed-to-be-private details of your life, like that you are armed.
On the reverse of that, the Flock camera outside of Bob’s Guns has been recording the plates of everyone going into the parking lot. No need for a firearms registry when Flock is doing the work.
All of this is done without a warrant and the data is available to anyone with a certain level of access to the system, whether it’s a cop, or a Flock technician in the Philippines. FYI Flock uses overseas contractors for support and AI annotation.
The 2018 Carpenter decision at SCOTUS ruled that pervasive surveillance where one can divine private details of someone’s life is a 4th Amendment violation in absence of a specific warrant.
Flock is illegal, unconstitutional and immoral.
And a danger to everyone, not just gun owners.
@JOKAQARMY1@LVPFilms For anyone saying this isn’t true, it is! Every time I drive down the road that leads to my neighborhood, I have to go by a flock camera. The fact that anyone knows when I come and go for my neighborhood is fucking concerning!
You can watch the surveillance state in America being put up on real time
This chart shows the amount of Flock cameras being put up from January 1st 2024 through May 2026
This is horrifying. Wake up before it too late
This is what local accountability looks like:
In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.
Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.
Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.
Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.
Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥
Ok let's start this now.
You want to stop data centers and the resultant surveillance?
Let's all commit to having 4th of July painting parties. All cameras not on private property are free game
Let's have a real independence day
Who's in for dumping some tea?
I petitioned my HOA to install more Flock cameras in our neighborhood.
We already have 14. I want 40.
Every street. Every corner. Every entrance and exit. Complete coverage.
Because I care about safety. And what better way to feel safe than knowing a private company is photographing every car that drives past my house and storing that data indefinitely in a searchable database? (And of course, sharing it with our Government.)
My neighbors think I'm paranoid. I think they're not paranoid enough.
Last week the cameras captured 47,000 license plates in our subdivision. The company says this helps solve crimes. I say it helps build a complete record of everyone's movements.
And that's exactly what we need.
The police can query the database without a warrant. They just type in a license plate and boom, every location that vehicle has been for months. Some people call this unconstitutional. I call it efficient.
My girlfriend asked why I'm okay with being tracked everywhere I go. I told her if she's not doing anything wrong, she has nothing to hide. She hasn't spoken to me in three days. She might be a criminal...
The cameras cost $2,500 each plus a monthly subscription. Our HOA fees went up 40%. A small price to pay for the privilege of being surveilled by a company that shares data with 3,000+ law enforcement agencies.
I even got the app. Now I can see every vehicle that enters our neighborhood in real time. My productivity at work has dropped 60% but my sense of security has never been higher.
Jokes aside, Flock cameras are being installed in thousands of neighborhoods across America right now. They're building a nationwide surveillance network without consent, without warrants, and without oversight.
This isn't about safety. It's about normalizing constant tracking. When every movement is recorded, stored, and searchable, freedom of movement dies.
China uses this exact system for social credit enforcement. We're just calling it crime prevention.

TODAY is the day. The DOJ must charge Fauci for lying under oath or lose the chance forever. This man oversaw gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, lied to Congress about it repeatedly, and watched as you were called crazy for asking questions. The statute of limitations expires tomorrow. The American people have waited long enough for accountability.
