Learn your rights! Know your rights! Assert your rights!

@IfNotMeWho_7553 @WallStreetApes Nope, it doesn’t work like that. If Flock doesn’t care about the harm it’s data is doing to innocent people (see the examples piling up) I have no problem with their anxiety when their employees or facilities are scrutinized, legally and from public places. More of this please.

Flock's office secrecy looks hypocritical at first glance, but the company and its employees have received multiple serious threats, including a recent Texas arrest for severe threats sent directly to staff. I don't think their privacy requests are about hiding from accountability but protecting people whose work puts them in the crosshairs of criminals and violent activists.

It turns out Flock Safety Cameras love and demand privacy, but only for themselves and their employees - Flock business location says you can’t film - Flock moved locations but they instructed the old building to not give out their location to anyone asking - Security guard at Flock building says he doesn’t consent to being filmed and he doesn’t want to be “under surveillance” Here’s where it gets really crazy - The new flock building is identified but they won’t put their name on the building, or on any of the building signs - Security won’t confirm Flock is in the building - No one is allowed to film, no one is even allowed to access any floors in the building Flock demands extremely privacy, but only for themselves Americans must be under surveillance but for them, you can’t even film outside an old building…. Amazing….

@WallStreetApes For those interested, the video is on YouTube. Investigating Flock: America’s Mass Surveillance Company. Flock doesn’t like their employees or facilities being filmed, they take their privacy very seriously. A 1st Amendment auditor’s dream, filming Flock executives in public. 🤣

@BlackBlessedLDS Cool story. All’s well that ends well! 😊

When Joseph Fielding Smith was an Apostle, a young man needed to speak to him. Why? He found out he had African DNA in his family tree. More than just “one drop” which was the policy at the time; even just one drop was an exclusion from the priesthood. This young man was active in the church, served a mission, and was about to get married in the temple. He also had a brother who was a Stake President, another who was a Bishop, and another in the high council. When he told Elder Smith this news, Elder Smith told this young man to tell his fiancee that there wouldn’t be a temple wedding because “our doctrine is very clear on that.” After the Church meeting ended that Elder Smith was attending in this young man’s area, he asked to speak to this young man again, privately. He then told the young man to keep the matter to himself. He said, “all of these [men] have been married in the temple and have participated in Church ordinances.” That this news “would ruin their lives.” Additionally, he informed this young man not to tell his fiancee or even his bishop. He continued, “this is something between [you] and the Lord, and if the Lord ratifies the sealing in the Temple, who are we to question it?” Arrington diary, July 17, 1962

@ByronWarRoom Byron Donalds, be careful giving the Susan Collins treatment about “being very concerned” about mass surveillance in Florida. Obviously it’s already taken root here. You’re on notice that a milquetoast candidate giving 4th Amendment rights only lip service will be detrimental.

Florida needs a full and immediate pause on Flock cameras. These systems raise serious constitutional and privacy concerns, and we cannot allow unchecked surveillance to take root in our state. Before any use moves forward, the entire system must be reviewed and strong criminal and financial penalties must be imposed for misuse. Safety is paramount, but Florida will not become a surveillance state. Our rights are not negotiable.

@ThrillaRilla369 I just finished watching Investigating Flock on YouTube by Tommy McGee and Benn Jordan. One thing stood out throughout the entire video. Flock and its executives value their privacy so much, they go to extraordinary lengths to protect themselves and their facilities? Why is that?

Friendly reminder The individuals tearing down Flock Cameras are not criminals. Those putting them up are. Tell me I’m wrong. 🤷‍♂️

@hhhtteeee @OrwellDay I don’t know, maybe? Going to have to wait and see on this one. I’m not in Cleveland, so I don’t know which way they’ll decide. Some might say the cost of losing freedom is too high to justify those statistics?

@Paradoxicalson @OrwellDay Cleveland has cut homicides by a third and cut vehicle theft by 44% in the three years they have had Flock lpr. Will cities accept a to return to those levels?

Cleveland Council Discovers Side-Door Access Within Flock Safety Architecture "This is why nobody trusts Flock.."

@hhhtteeee @OrwellDay I get what you’re saying. Flock simply provides the data to police departments but absolves itself from any responsibility from abuse or wrongdoing of the data downstream. Ultimately this debate is a choice between so called safety and privacy and people will choose differently.

@Paradoxicalson @OrwellDay That’s not a Flock did a bad thing. That was likely a miss understanding in the Cleveland PD. They have Flock. There team works in the Fusion center. They shared cameras into the Fusion center. a 30 percent drop in homicides over the two years they had Flock would outweigh this

@hhhtteeee @OrwellDay I agree, you’re right that it wasn’t widely reported, thus the frustration being expressed. It would be ironic if Flock cameras are ultimately defeated by leftist concerns about mass surveillance data getting into the hands of ICE! 🤣

@Paradoxicalson @OrwellDay That is not what has been widely reported. Agancies like Cleveland can share data with other law enforcement entities if they like. They don’t have to, but can. Cleveland PD are part of a regional Fusion center that has Federal agancies apart of it. They shared with that center.

@hhhtteeee @OrwellDay Yes, that’s correct. Flock just provides the data, once the data is released out into the ether and to third parties it can end up in anyone’s hands downstream including ICE, albeit indirectly. This is one of the major concerns, who will have access?

@Paradoxicalson @OrwellDay If I’m reading this correct the Cleveland PD shared access of the cameras with the fusion center. It wasn’t something something Flock did it was the PD.

Sure doesn't seem like Flock likes being monitored or surveilled

@HIBFlocked @OrwellDay Thanks, for the clarification. So it seems Cleveland needs to get ~4500 signatures on a petition to force a repeal or referendum vote within 30 days to prevent the 6 month contract extension…and the clock is ticking. Hopefully that petition is made highly visible, good luck. 🙏

@Paradoxicalson @OrwellDay But the emergency provision failed, so the ordinance won't take effect for 30 days, during which citizens can force a repeal or referendum vote. footnote4a.org/news/cleveland…

This is WILD American went to a parking garage in Detroit with a friend. They leave the parking garage and the friend who drove didn’t pay That parking garage somehow automatically identified her by her phone, charged her card and texted her a receipt with the make, model and license plate of her friends vehicle Again she didn’t drive, she didn’t interact with any machines, the parking garage was able to just identify her and charge her because she had her cell phone with her This is real The building was the Fisher Building garage in Detroit. It’s a shopping area It’s a modern automated parking management system on Metropolis Parking’s platform that has License Plate Recognition cameras combined with phone-linked accounts and stored payment details Because this woman had been there before and paid, the system saved her data, recognized her by her phones signal and automatically charged her with a previous payment method Technology is going way too far

@therealDeFlock I can only imagine the amount of money these companies will be funneling through lobbyists to grease the palms of our Congressional leaders in Washington for the upcoming battles. Flock, Axon, Motorola, Rekor, Genetec, Verkada, Avigilon, Axis Communications, Hikvision/Dahua, etc.

"As a movement against $8.3 billion Flock Safety’s license plate readers gathers momentum, company CEO Garrett Langley tells Forbes he shouldn’t have called non-violent activists “terroristic” organizations." Oh, they are really freaking out. 🤣 forbes.com/sites/thomasbr…

@Rep_Clyde Rep. Clyde, it’s more than just Flock. Pandora’s Box has been opened and mass surveillance has metastasized. Flock is in 49 US states. Unfortunately, Alaska has Axon. There’s also Motorola, Rekor, Genetec, Verkada, Avigilon, Axis Communications, Hikvision/Dahua, PlateSmart, etc.

There’s 80,000+ Flock cameras across the U.S. These surveillance devices perform 20 BILLION license plate scans per month, tracking your every move. No warrant. No judge. No accountability. This is a clear violation of our Fourth Amendment rights. We must STOP THE FLOCK.

We need to shut his company down and sue him for all the money he has made. No one should profit from destroying the U.S. Constitution.

@OrwellDay Garrett Langley wants a Flock camera on every single corner in America. Today he was featured on a TED talk on YouTube explaining the virtues of his company. Feel free to go and post in the comments section your thoughts. youtu.be/v0BiDmPloBs?is…
