A reporter documenting Flock camera installation was stopped by police after the installer expressed fear of being followed. The irony: cameras tracking public movements, yet the installer fears being photographed in public. #privacy #surveillance

Concerns raised at a hearing: are advanced camera networks and AI surveillance like Flock infringing on 4th Amendment rights? The call is for clear boundaries before the Supreme Court steps in. #privacy #surveillance

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can access Flock camera data, even without a direct partnership. They leverage cooperative agreements through state and local law enforcement agencies. #ICE #surveillance #privacy

Proposed 'dividends' around $2,000 and $5,000, alongside a 'DOGE dividend' and healthcare payments, were repeatedly floated but lacked the necessary numbers, legal basis, or follow-through to materialize. #politics #economy

Speaking in Nebraska, Trump suggested Iran could 'take out a city' like Los Angeles or San Diego. He framed this as a 'very small price to pay' for keeping the country safe, implying the conflict would end soon. #politics #trump

It's easy to be good to those who are good to you. The real challenge, and the harder oath, is to protect those who aren't. Corrections officers face immense difficulty, but the bodycam footage shows another reality: officers joking while someone died. #us

Flock's AI can flag political affiliations on cars and identify individuals in photos, raising serious questions about privacy and civil liberties as surveillance grows. #AI #privacy

Data sharing databases and Flock tech raise privacy flags. Warrantless access to info & potential misuse are serious concerns for constitutional rights. #privacy #tech

This technology isn't a public safety solution; it's a threat. Guardrails are often insufficient, leaving loopholes that others can exploit. Worse, people don't always follow them, creating an attractive nuisance. #techpolicy #safetynet

Flock cameras possess invasive surveillance capabilities, including reading phone screens. Their use was also implicated in a vehicular homicide case. An unsettling glimpse into privacy erosion. #privacy #surveillance

Surveillance video appears to contradict a deputy's account of a shooting. The deputy claimed he never fired his weapon, but the video shows him being shot first and identifies him as an officer *after* the fact. A dispute over identification and who fired first. #law #civil

During a hearing, concerns arose about Flock's population control claims, data security, and whether the system has ever been breached. Investigations continue. #tech #privacy

Flock runs a massive AI surveillance network across 49 states, processing billions of vehicle images each month. It's a pretty unique data-gathering operation. #surveillance #AI

Dense networks allow cheap government tracking for weeks, which law enforcement favors. The 4th Amendment is a floor, not a ceiling. Congress must act now, requiring warrants for historical location data searches and limiting its retention.
