"What #Flock says about their capabilities is to some degree irrelevant because they have built the infrastructure for mass #surveillance. Their entire existence provides the foundation for other perhaps even more invasive technologies to be built on top of it."

Flock data + Axon body cam footage + facial recognition, "in one searchable platform." That's the pitch VIDIZMO emailed to Johnson City PD's deputy chief. Its tech also claims behavior prediction and racial and gender analysis on live camera feeds.

basically they propose to pipe footage from FlockOS or already-recorded Flock footage to their facial recognition system. They are advertising this to cops according to public records shared with us, but have not implemented yet
![VIDIZMO’s CEO, Nadeem Khan, told 404 Media on a video call that the company has not yet started running facial recognition tech on footage from Flock cameras, and that it has not actually built the specific tool that would export data from Flock’s system to its own platform (though the company advertises this capability online, and the company already sells other facial recognition products). But Khan said VIDIZMO “would love to do the integration,” and that he believes facial recognition “is the way the world is going, the way the world will have to be,” and that he thinks Flock should offer the capability itself in a way that “balances privacy, security, and the freedom that we enjoy in this country.”
“It is completely in line with what we want to do,” Khan said. “All of these technologies are already implemented [in the real world]. I think Flock is trying to get out of the way rather than trying to implement the technology right [correctly] by saying they will not do recognition. But this is the way the world is going, it is the way the world will have to be, but with the right sort of technologies where privacy and security are balanced.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cjfcz3t36f6nrprarkhkycxo/bafkreicqkxicmwwjv6zntmssipkl36r6a5rtkkspjpfln24anvglqbpnhy)
