A surveillance machine cleverly disguised as a public safety tool.
It’s their standard operating procedure.

I’d already contacted my state legislator and senator about these awful things. One day you’ll take a public stand against your city council and you will be MARKED and tracked/harrassed by your town or county police until you throw in the towel and move. Or they’ll find a reason to arrest you. Or you’ll have wrong-think and will one day be arrested FOR your wrong-think. They’ll do anything to get rid of you and shut you up.

Hey I truly believe in keeping tabs on people.

The problem is, it is aimed backwards.

Instead of the government keeping track of we the people, we the people need to keep track of government officials.

We need to organize the Citizens GUARD = Government Utility and Accountability Review Department.

Who is with me on this?

Like most government programs that start out with the very best intentions, they seem to always get morphed into an unrecognizable monster.

Put more cameras where the majority of violent crime persists. If it fails to curb crime, ban them from everywhere. All these fancy gadgets and a spineless justice system are wasting our tax dollars, innocent people are catching it on both ends. Invasion of privacy and being mugged and/or murdered. It’s simply to make money for the watchers.

End Goal:

Complete enslavement of the masses using technology.

Environment created that requires this End Goal:

Legalize crime so that it becomes a true problem.

New need to combat this artificially created criminal environment:

Full Police and surveillance state using technology.

End Goal complete... Masses digitally enslaved.

That’s an easy question.

They are a money making, warrantless surveillance machine.

So, a police officer needs a warrant to observe what’s going on in public?

"Cell phone tracking also does not build a permanent, queryable record of every vehicle that passed every intersection in your city over the last 30 days."

This is a dumb article written by a moron. A PERMANENT record that is deleted after 30 days? LOL. People against FLOCK do not even know the basics of FLOCK. Typical. Why waste people's time with lies?

I know a lot of you are bored and need topics to take up your time, but I'm going to tell you a hard truth: nobody cares about you. Nobody cares about where you drive or who you're going to see. No cop is spying on you. The feds don't give a damn what you do. You are not that important.

If, however, are serious enough crime is committed and a property owner wants the police to have access to their camera system, that's a good thing.

Two things can be true at once: you have ZERO expectation of privacy when you are on public property, and nobody cares about where you are going.

The “TOOL” garbage started as a safety campaign issuing verbal warnings about seatbelts. Now in some states third offense takes your license. It mushroomed into a revenue enhancer and probable cause to stop and check you. Do I trust them spying on me. NO!!!!!!! The “TOOL” Box needs to be cleaned out and The US Constitution placed inside it.

Calling Flock cameras license plate readers is intentional misdirection by the Flock company, law enforcement and the surveillance state.

They are 100% full time surveillance of the population !
