I am waiting for the cops to show up at my door because I give these cameras the finger everytime I drive by.

We are living in crazzzzzy terrible times. And we deserve everything we get for having no guts to stand against evil.

The L.A. flock contract was not renewed, but the cameras were not removed. If you look at DeFlock, this is the most common occurrence with cancelled contracts. So we must assume the cameras are still gathering data and transmitting it to somewhere. . someone. . HAL? We always lose.

Axon gets the contract? Leo Hohmann pointed out yesterday that since 2025 Axon is selling its own surveillance camera subscriptions for cameras that attach to the lights on your street, any street.

Thanks for covering Flock. It's too easy to get mad and then just accept the inevitable. We can't afford to let this continue unopposed.

China? Palantir does not operate there. Palantir operates in Israel. The testing ground for this system has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank. Anderson Horowitz is a pro Israel start up. I'm wondering why you're covering for Israeli startups that are dominating American tech. From cyber security to our healthcare records, they have access to all of our critical infrastructure. H.B. 219 was not about China, it gave Israel full access into our military which it already pretty much has. I'm disappointed you failed to mention this. And has me questioning your reporting. Everything was correct other than saying it's China. It's not China, it is Israel.

And wow, there's a lot of needy and obsessive cops out there. Don't be like Sting in "Every Breath You Take". Be like Sting in "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free". FREE FREE SET THEM FREE!!!

What are the actual ingredients ofa Flock unit?

When does a 'normal' camera need to become flocked up?

Here in the Netherlands i see boxes appear that are clipped onto a lamp post, they stay a week then they are removed again.

The size of these boxes is roughly 15x15x10 cm.

They dont look like a camera, but a pinhole can be a camera, so who knows... for all i know they could be logging bleutooth signals...

I wonder if other people also see such boxes apear in their country. If there are people who build these boxes.

Who are the people who mount them in the lamp posts, and take them away a few weeks later.

Im asking around but so far most people didnt even notice they were there..

Im also collecting informationif i can legally take one home, leave a note with a request for information.

As in, please inform us what these devices do, once we recieved a detailled report we will return them.

Something along those lines...

I think everyone deserves an explanation as thesecthings appear to be in conflict with our privacy law.

Feedback is welcome.

What is a nice way to deal with these grey boxes?

they don’t even need to be a ‘camera’ to collect data. they can do it with radio waves even.

My current working theory is that, while perv cops and control freaks are bad, the big motive behind this is rent extraction. Whatever can be surveilled can be subject to another tax, in the name of environment, "protecting kids", holy Greta, or whatever.

Where are these Flock cameras exactly? Do they put them on highways only? Just kind of curious.

Negi Springfield's avatar

Just saw that after a minute of research. Thanks anyway. It’s mostly for cars/license plates.

Solid, WW. Thank you

2030 is supposed to be the deadline for the vampire cult to have their panopticon up and running. 2047 is the deadline for their global mass murder program to be complete.

Well this needs to be a sermon. I'm 3 weeks ahead right now in planning, but I'll have to do some digesting and see where it goes. The good news is I do have a conspiratorial audience. They'd love it. (I'm also re-stacking")

You don't understand that the obsession was clock cameras is an establishment-controlled operation?

You haven't even asked yourself why it has suddenly exploded all over the internet, even though flock camera is have been in place for a very long time?

Obsessing about it is exactly what the establishment wants you to do, because it actually makes them even more filthy rich. If you'd like me to explain how that works, I'll be glad to do so.

Stop feeding the false narratives.

it exploded because independent journalists spent months digging through audit logs and court records and publishing what we found. that's it. that's the mystery. now walk me through your version. flock sics lawyers on transparency sites, cops get called on journalists filming their empty headquarters, a deputy in texas gets exposed hunting a woman across state lines and the sheriff lies to the whole country about it. if the establishment wanted this exposed they'd be cutting us checks, not trying to shut us down. and explain the business model where getting your contracts cancelled in city after city makes you richer. LAPD just walked. cities across texas are shredding contracts. that's coverage costing them money in public, on the record. you got any evidence for your theory or did it arrive fully formed the moment you needed a reason not to care

‘stop feeding the false narratives’? are you a flock employee because if not you should tell them to cut you a check for running damage control for free…
