I remember learning about this tech years ago. For those who don't know: drones with very-hi-res cameras fly high overhead with a wide angle view and record everything, all day. They don't follow any one person or car. They record *everything*.
Then, say there is a person of interest, and they want to learn where they live or who they meet. They just mark the person on the video and the software "rewinds time" to follow them backwards everywhere they went.
They can see who you met, mark that person in the software, and "fast forward time" to see where that person went. And so on.
It has been live for at least 9 years I believe. Nothing is ever deleted.
I still think about the guy who pointed out that "the underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth." Rarely have I seen Al described so succinctly.
They tell you Flock cameras are there to fight crime.
So I pulled the actual police logs from my new favorite website (haveibeenflocked . com). 233 million searches that they have been able to get via FOIA requests and here's what "fighting crime" actually looks like:
> 84% had no case number at all
> The most common reason a cop typed in the box? Blank, nothing
> Only about 9% were even tagged as a real crime.
> "Test" and "training" show up as reasons, run on real people's cars
> The FBI and Homeland Security were wired into local camera networks your town never signed off on.
So what is Flock?
FLOCK: 100,000+ plate cameras bolted to poles across America. They read your plate everywhere you drive and never forget.
NOVA: Flock's AI that turns your plate into you. Your name, address, family, everyone you know, in seconds, no warrant.
SIGNALTRACE: a competitor's tool that tracks the Bluetooth off your phone, your AirPods, your watch. Doesn't even need your plate.
Then I followed the money and the lead investor behind Flock also funds an Israeli company that can hack cameras and change the footage. Another lead investor backs a 911 app that flips on your phone's camera and mic. Trace it all the way back and you hit a former Israeli prime minister and Jeffrey Epstein's money.

The real reason America has no high-speed rail has absolutely nothing to do with geography or technology. It is the result of a single lobbying contract worth $400 million signed in 1955. You are told the country is just "too big" or too spread out for bullet trains. That is a fabricated lie. The American
automotive and oil cartels literally bought
the government to systematically remove
public transit. They ripped up existing
rail networks and paved over the nation
to guarantee people would rely on cars,
insurance, and fuel just to participate in
society.
Edward Snowden said it the best:
"When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"
"Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."

@monarchcurl again, you’re using certain instances to make a broad generalization.
yes, we need more representation because if you or a black child was a victim/witness to a crime you’re (most likely) going to feel more comfortable speaking with a black female cop vs a white male.
@monarchcurl modern day enslavers is a reach when you’re so broadly generalizing.
black people need more representation in law enforcement, not less.
so saying that those who are trying to aid in reformation or even help their communities are bastards is asinine.
