One camera is a tool. Over 100k AI Cameras are a Mass Surveillance Network. Metro Atlanta is tracked, mapped, and monitored, and most people don't know it - yet. 4th Amendment advocacy | public records | accountability | deflockatlanta.org
A regular camera records the hallway. An AI camera system tries to understand the hallway. Weapon. Fall. Loitering. Vehicle. Spill. Intrusion. Smoke. That is the shift people need to understand. Surveillance is becoming automated interpretation. intellisee.com

Just searching license plates? Their own product launch says “every existing Flock LPR camera” can become video-enabled through a software update. It also says FreeForm can search video using “characteristics on people.” A “license plate reader” is not the whole story. ->
Listen to his words. Some systems can support “pattern of life” analysis, routine mapping, and heatmaps over time. Most people have no idea these capabilities exist. noalprs.com #Privacy #Surveillance #Flock #ALPR
The question stopped being: “Should these systems exist?” And quietly became: “How many should we install?” They used fear to accomplish this. Now they’re afraid people will find out what they actually do. Good. #Surveillance #Privacy #Flock #DeFlock
"Chief PJ Smith said he understands the concerns around artificial intelligence, but this type of technology is not going away. The city might as well buy in and stay safe, he said." So shut up and accept it. Who agrees? #Surveillance #Flock #Privacy

We’ve seen this over and over. Delay the vote. Leave the cameras on. Hope public attention wanes. Then, at 1:30 in the morning, extend the contract and throw in a few drones. Don’t. Let. Up. #Flock #DeFlock #Surveillance

The same warrantless surveillance tactics being used in immigration sweeps could be turned against journalists and their sources. Congress should pass the Government Surveillance Reform Act and close the data broker loophole.
Sources aren’t safe when surveillance is for sale
Congress must close the loophole that turns journalists’ and sources’ data into a storehouse for state spying

DeFlock Redmond@deflock-redmond.bsky.social · 3mo ago"Conditioning that funding on a ban of the technology would, in practical effect, force any state, county, or municipality that takes federal highway money (essentially all of them) to either remove the cameras or restructure their use around tolling alone." #deflock #surveillance #alpr
Joe Rogan had Marc Andreessen on JRE, and naturally, they talked about Flock cameras and surveillance. A lot of Flock PR talking points were taken as "evidence", and this is just the beginning of "good faith arguments" for mass, warrantless surveillance that a lot of money is flowing into.
I realized that I need to open the door to right-oriented podcasts and media as this shit is far too important for comfort-politics. So here's an offer. Link to comment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQv...
"A second officer is under investigation for possible misuse of the Flock search system, per the Milwaukee Police Department. The review comes after former officer Josue Ayala was criminally charged with using Flock to look up an ex-girlfriend."

"When asked whether people in demonstration videos gave permission to be recorded, a Flock public relations representative interrupted the interview and said the company would not answer questions about its employees viewing cameras at the Jewish Community Center." I bet they did. #Flock #Privacy

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.
📍 Use the DeFlock Map We are building a public map of ALPRs, AI surveillance cameras, autonomous drones, and connected surveillance infrastructure so communities can see what’s being installed around them. The DeFlock App works great, too! www.deflock.org #Flock #Privacy #MassSurveillance
