🧵 Arizona cities keep signing Flock Safety camera contracts that read like a trap. Learn about three clauses most people have never read👇

The 1st Amendment doesn't care about your feelings. All speech is free speech!

Top 5 reasons people defend Flock: -“Your phone already tracks you.” -“Other ALPR companies exist, so who cares.” -“The government’s been tracking you forever.” -“It’s private, so it’s not government surveillance.” -“It helps the police.” Y'all hearing yourselves?

@TommyApples80 @Flock_Safety Let's read what that judge has to say, especially since that case is in appeals and will likely go to SCOTUS. "...as the number and capabilities of ALPR cameras expand, the constitutional balancing could conceivably tip the other way." - Judge Mark S. Davis [Schmidt vs Norfolk]

@LPMaricopa @Flock_Safety Courts have already ruled that carpenter doesn't apply to license plate scanners. Schmidt vs Norfolk. Movement of a vehicle on a public street vs tracking of cellphone data, even when walking, confers different expectations of privacy.

GM - Flock says they have a 7% error rate when reading plates, which means 1.4 BILLION "alerts" from their system aren't accurate every month. No liability for Flock, just 1.4 billion chances police draw guns on another innocent person.

Flock cameras are the final and most important piece in the digital prison they're quickly and quietly building. These things are now watching gun shops, playgrounds, schools, daycares, and major retailers. They aren't pointing at the parking lots, they're pointed at the doors. These surveillance devices we did not consent to are how kill protocols developed by Palantir like l'avender' and 'where's daddy' which were used to follow and wipe out fathers and families all over Gaza, start being used here. Every American should have a huge issue with them, the true totalitarian surveillance state isn't possible without them. Anyone with major influence who isn't overtly speaking out about them, and the pending digital prison should not be trusted. If you want to find ones in your area go to flocksurveillance.com. How prevalent are these things? There's over 100k installed already and hundreds of new cameras are going up every day. We've had people say they have them 40 feet away from their homes that they thought were standard surveillance cameras as part of their HOA fees, and didn't know until they checked our product.

Look at a real Flock contract and how the taxpayer is 'on the hook' for Police "misuse". These Mass Surveillance cameras are a taxpayer VIOLATION and LIABILITY.

GM - Another day, another 5 officers under investigation for Flock "misuse" (warrantless spying). The local DA has already dropped charges for 2 officers, no details specified. "We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong" - authoritarians sure hate accountability

Another reason to vote for Ballot Measure SCR-1004 in November, which prohibits any "Vehicle Mileage Tax" in AZ 👇

I argued against the changes to the searches language on page 40 tonight. I believe notice to parents to be a priority that the district must consider, but was out voted 3-2. Thank you to Mr. Shelton for voting with me. The new language gives broader and more implicit timing for a notification which I'm told should remain the same day as a search, but that is entirely unenforceable now because any time could be argued as "as soon as possible". We've seen plenty of government agents utilize broad language and loopholes for their own advantage over public interest, so it's not unreasonable to suspect this might happen here.

This is exactly as it should be and the fact that @12news would even consider suing for the private information of children and their parents is disgusting. Shame on @CraigHarrisNews and everyone else that was pushing for this. Thank you to the courts for this decision.

@JasonBassler1 Scottsdale Real-time Crime Center (uses FlockOS): 9065 E. Via Linda Scottsdale, AZ 85258 - 2nd Floor

At least 15 U.S. cities have Flock‑powered “Real Time Crime Centers,” live, networked surveillance hubs quietly watching everything that moves. "TrAnSPaReNcY cOmPaNy" Flock won’t publish the total. They won’t publish locations. You don’t get a map. You just get monitored.

📬 REMINDER: Tomorrow, July 14, is the last recommended day to mail your ballot affidavit envelope for the Primary Election! Prefer to drop it off instead? ✅ You can return your ballot affidavit envelope at any Vote Center or secure ballot drop box location. 📍 Find the location nearest you: Locations.Maricopa.Vote

Dave Smith explains The Federal Reserve to Theo Von.

@Flock_Safety Every plate read is collecting evidence on innocents, creating a mosaic of their movements. Carpenter (2018): “A person does not surrender all Fourth Amendment protection by venturing into the public sphere.” Your business model is a bet that sentence doesn’t apply to you.

@LPMaricopa A Flock alert is a lead, not probable cause, for an investigation. Based on what’s been reported, this appears to have started with an incomplete plate entry in a police report.

🚨Fontes has withheld the tools needed to properly clean the voter rolls from the Recorders He doesn't send the deceased records monthly like he's supposed to And he keeps the AVID voter list maintenance database broken He does all this while happily sharing our private data with radical left NGOs

Lockdowns will be tried again in the future, guaranteed. The phone bluetooth "contract tracing" wasn't enough during COVID, so this Flock Mass Surveillance grid will be used to enforce curfews for "unapproved travel" next time.
