#AXON
Trump purchased up to $5 million in shares of Axon Enterprise just weeks before ICE issued a notice seeking a contract worth up to $220 million for equipment that experts say only Axon is positioned to provide. The White House has said there is “no conflict of interest”. 🙄

Axon cameras.

More like, ax me before you turn on those cameras, am I right??
With the backlash to Flock, cities are moving to Axon cameras. But what exactly are they doing with them? 404 Media is filing public records requests around the country to find out how cops are using Axon's ALPRs, @josephcox.bsky.social explains.

These are Axon activity reports. They are equivalent to Flock's network audits that let us reveal cops were doing Flock lookups for ICE, and a cop searched Flock nationwide for a woman who self-administered an abortion. You can now get this for Axon www.404media.co/is-your-city...

This idea is so bad that when the guy from Axon proposed it his entire board resigned in protest.

Flock has justifiably received tons of outrage, but Axon (and a bunch of other companies) are also purveyors of mass surveillance. Canceling a Flock contract and replacing it with an Axon one is just changing your flavor of authoritarianism.
New from 404 Media: around the country, cities are ditching Flock. But in many cases, immediately replacing Flock with Axon cameras. These clamp to an existing streetlamp so harder to spot. May be harder for public to know what cops are using the cameras for www.404media.co/cities-are-d...
Cities Are Ditching Flock, Immediately Replacing It With Axon License Plate Readers
Rather than get rid of ALPR cameras entirely, many cities and towns are switching to Axon, whose cameras can be mounted to an existing streetlamp, helping them blend into their surroundings.

JUST IN: Trump bought up to $5 million of Axon stock.

Two weeks later, ICE moved toward a $220 million Taser deal.

Axon makes Tasers. Axon also controls 90% of the US Taser market.

And the White House says there are “no conflicts of interest.”

Ban Flock cameras. Ban Axon cameras. Ban Motorola cameras. Ban ALL automatic license plate readers.

That was our message to the Senate today. The American people agree that it's time for Congress to take immediate action.

Apparently things are so bad for Flock with contracts getting cancelled that the company has put together a voluntary severance program for its employees.

Giddy thinking about detrimental Flock headlines when we get major corporate contracts dropped!

President Trump bought up to $5 million in shares of Axon Enterprise two weeks before ICE sought a $220 million contract that appeared tailored to the company’s weapons.

Axon shares rose more than 22% in the month after Trump’s purchase.

Once again worried that the backlash being specifically against Flock cameras will just lead to cops getting functionally identical Axon (or whatever) cameras that have an easier paper trail to rig.
Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said.

DHS claimed that agents were forced to use riot munitions to disperse an "unruly mob" on September 19.

In fact, "the scene [was] quiet," and then "almost immediately and without warning, agents lob flashbang grenades, tear gas, and pepper balls, stating 'fuck yea!' as they do so."
