Anyone else keeping an eye on 'Flock Safety'? This company makes license plate and facial recognition cameras that are present in thousands of cities around the US. These are available to both police and corporations to spy on exgirlfriends and other targets without a warrant.
While they are intended to be used for malicious purposes against human beings by design, the cameras are also highly insecure and can readily be exploited by bad actors in less time than it takes for a pervy cop to look up his ex-wife's minivan's license plate:
One very fun judge in WA state has caused problems for Flock by declaring that the records held by cameras there, which are at least partially owned by government, are public record.
You can cause problems for Flock if you live in a state with any sort of privacy protecting law (OK, basically only in California) that allows you to obtain records that private companies hold about you by requesting records for yourself, requesting any records that contain your face, that sort of thing, just generally be as malicious as possible.
Hey, as if this isn't enough? Flock has partnered with Amazon Ring spy cameras, to spread their dragnet even further. ***** your neighbors ********s.
Some resources:
The famous and ever insightful @larossmann:
and the excellent 'Save it for Parts' YouTubers have done good videos on the Flock Problem, including information on how to spot them spying on you in the wild:
- As far back as 2022, Flock cameras were successfully used by a Wichita PD lieutenant to stalk his estranged wife. This is as intended- Flock does not require warrants or even validated reasons to search license plates to determine target locations, the cop was only caught because a colleague noticed him spending most of his time in the office stalking his wife and complained to superiors.
- A Kansas police chief, Lee Nygaard, successfully used Flock to stalk his ex-girlfriend and her new paramour more than two hundred times over four months. This wasn't identified by Flock- who ignored the problem. No, it only came out because he admitted it while being investigated for other dodgy shit.
Nygaard resigned and was not charged with any crime. Blue backing the blue? No. Nygaard committed no crime in using the universal surveillance that Flock enables to spy on his former missus. He never filed a fraudulent warrant, because Flock by design doesn't require warrants or other legal documents to spy on innocent people who have committed no crime. He didn't even lie on some internet application form asking for information, because while Flock technically requires you to enter a 'reason' for a search, that 'reason' (for violating your 4th Amendment rights) can be 'protest' or 'reason' or 'ligma' or 'goatse'. It is never checked.
Do you feel safer? - Privacy activists in Norfolk, VA, found that they had their location tracked more than 800 times in just four months. One was spied on 14 times in less than 7 hours.
- Hundreds of innocent people have been falsely targeted, arrested, and charged based on the shit information Flock holds.
One late middle aged bottle blonde White lady in Colorado was charged with theft, because a (younger looking) bottle blonde White lady allegedly stole packages from the porch of a house. Flock cameras had recorded the LICENSE PLATE of Chrisanna Elser's vehicle tens of times in the neighborhood that the package was stolen in, and as the first blonde woman a police officer 'investigating' those who frequently drove through that neighborhood encountered, she was charged with theft. Because she drove through it. Video was not used in charging Elser, probably because Flock conviently gets rid of video after 30 days- so if you're being charged solely based on your presence in an area, they have a great excuse to not even try to prove you were actually in your car when setting you up.
Elser was only able to get the charges dropped because she drove a faggoty Rivian electric truck which has spy cameras on it, and the cameras showed that she didn't stop on the street where the house where she was falsely accused of stealing from is situated. - Youtube shitposter Whistlindiesel was recently arrested for allegedly not paying Tennessee sales tax on a car that his business- which is incorporated in Montana- bought, which 'accidentally' burnt in a cornfield in Texas. Tennessee law requires that you register a car that is driven more than 30 days a year in Tennessee in Tennessee. If you bought such a car to drive it in Tennessee, you're liable for sales tax.
Now, Mr. Diesel is certainly a wanker, though his public service destroying squatted trucks is praiseworthy. BUT on what basis do y'all think he was charged? It wasn't on the basis of a whistleblower narking to the staties or tax authorities. It wasn't based on covert surveillance parked up in a van outside his farm. It wasn't even on the basis of helicopter or fixed-wings flyovers capturing video of a vehicle. It WAS almost certainly on the basis of two or more ANVR 'sightings' of the plate on his Ferrari in Tennesse- let's say on April 1 and May 10- 'proving' that the vehicle had been in TN for 30 days- even if it had been driven out of state for all but two days in that period.
Now he's been arrested and he gets to try and prove that he wasn't in Tennessee with that car for 30 days. Hope he was recording absolutely everywhere he goes even in his sleep. - Not a social media vehicle destruction influencer like Mr. Diesel? Good for you. Have you ever driven in areas that your insurance company feels might be 'unsafe'- potholed roads, high nigger population, take your pick? Guess what, Flock and all the other ANVR spy companies supply data to insurers, too. I'm sure they'll be reasonable and not jew you, right?
- Ever heard of point to point speed cameras? This is what Flock's nasty tech was developed from. In the UK, you can't drive on a highway without being monitored by these cameras. You can drive responsibly, drive over the 'speed limit' where it's slafe and slow down at unsafe parts of the road you drive hundreds of times a year- but if you're over the maximum average speed as calculated from camera 1 to camera 2 based on the speed limits on the GIS map, even by one kilometre by hour, you're getting a hefty ticket in the mail and a bump to your insurance rates.
Let's suppose you're driving the Loneliest Road in America. You start in Fallon NV and Flock spy cameras record your plate. You turn on your Valentine One and wind it up to 75 mph on the open road.
Then Flock catches you again in Ely. You're driving the speed limit in the Ely 'city' limits- wouldn't want to run over a wandering prostitute from one of the local brothels- but point to point, it was impossible for you to legally travel between point A and point B without breaking the law.
Guess what? Flock means that your insurance company knows that you were speeding now- on a road at which driving at 100 mph would be safe and responsible. They'll use that as an excuse to raise your premiums.
Flock means that a Nevada state trooper killing time eating some donuts in Ely can search your license plate and at least hassle you about having been violating state law. Flock means that you're AT BEST a year or two away from county or state lawmakers deciding that they can use data from Flock and other spy cameras to issue fines on the same sort of basis as those spy cams in the UK
