Flock Safety's AI-powered license plate readers, now over 100,000 strong in more than 6,000 communities, capture vehicle details to help police solve crimes like stolen cars and missing persons cases. Critics from the ACLU to libertarians call them mass surveillance without warrants, sparking vandalism in places like Houston, California, Virginia, Texas, and Georgia. The company defends the tech as a crime deterrent with privacy features like no facial recognition, but pushback grows—highlighted by LAPD letting its contract expire and calls like Texas Rep. Keith Self's 'DEFLOCK AMERICA.'

Maybe they need security cameras, to monitor the flock security cameras. :D:D:D

I like flock cameras because they are being used to identify the movement patterns of Illegal Aliens. It's a key tool being used in getting them out of the country efficiently.

@Theocritus Don't kid yourself, they will monitor you. The system imported all the illegals, regardless of party, both sides are using illegals in their businesses.

@essence25 Not just that, "they" will sell access to other countries and globalist orgs. like the 5 eyes.

Why wasn't this the response to red-light camera and speed cameras? :ermm:

Because the flock cameras are being used to catch Illegal Aliens, so now we are getting this meme seeded on the Right that we're all supposed to smash the flock cameras.

Because red light cameras are not the super hi-def like flock cameras.

And flock camers record everyone walking on the road and siewalk.

Red light cameras are mounted high with a narrow field ov view.

Flock cameras have around a 100ft field of view ( don't believe that 15ft lie that AI will tell you).

They are Big Brother.
Nothing less.

Disagree. There's many good reasons to have flock cameras. Like it or not, there's no expectation of privacy if you're in the public.

@Theocritus These go beyond privacy. One day you will get tickets just by going over the limit in between since they will be used to compute distance and arrival time. Once the surveillance system is up, everyone will be monitored and managed. And you will never be able to compete with this level of automation. You will always make "honest" mistakes as a human. Careful what you wish for.

@essence25 100% correct!
