Today, we announce the Flock Alpha, the most powerful and fully American-made public safety drone response system ever built. Five years ago, I stood on the rooftop of my police station and imagined this moment. There is no better feeling than seeing a vision come to life (I do not have kids yet).

@philfCAL @Apple @UPS Is it interstate crime if it's just on a side street? That makes it a city street and not a state road, no?

@rahul @Apple @UPS As a former UPS on road supervisor, you can get state police involved. I had two drivers both something similar, but they were giving them to accomplices. Local PD did nothing. I called the state police, stating I had evidence of interstate crime, and they jumped at it.

The @apple @UPS delivery scam. If it happened to me, a man who has devoted his adult life to fighting crime at scale, it can happen to you. I ordered a Mac Studio from Apple (~6 week wait, computer now discontinued). UPS driver marks it delivered half a mile away from my house, says "recipient walked up and took delivery from truck." Apple won't refund because UPS marks it delivered (despite dispute) and won't brick it unless PD calls. PD doesn't have time to call. UPS driver keeps the unbricked computer. The perfect scam. The only way out is charging back your credit card and letting Apple thank you for the 0% interest loan for 60 days. It's crazy that in this day and age, it is genuinely a risk to buy a new computer from Apple of all companies. Some crimes are beyond me.

I had an apple.com-purchased MacBook delivered to my house by courier . They used uber Later that night (3am), the delivery driver came back with his gf and tried to break into my house to steal said laptop. SFPD caught them after we called 911. But attempts to contact apple/uber to prove connect went unanswered. Criminals released

@orenjacob I used the ship example because it matches the recent tweets regarding the same, but it's not the only threat we're facing on any given day.

@orenjacob You don't need a hostile navy to launch a drone attack in the US. A single hostile sleeper agent can stock up 100 homemade drones in their garage and conduct havoc in their city. The concept that we can defend against attack vectors like that with our military is outdated to me.

Harsh truth: the threat of a drone attack in CA is worse than you think. Forget that over 100 boats make it past the Coast Guard and onto the CA shoreline a year, but Iranian Shahed drones can strike targets from a boat that's over 1,000 miles away. That's not the worst part 🧵

@RegularJoe_Ceo We don't currently build drone detection/interception technology, so I'm not advertising anything.

@orenjacob How do we expect the military to stop someone from going to best buy, buying a consumer drone, putting a homemade explosive on it, and fly it into a stadium?

@rahul Police departments are not the Army Navy Air Force or Marines? If another country attacked US soil directly by any means, I don’t think Oakland PD is the agency that would respond. Of course local PDs don’t have anti aircraft capabilities. ?

@FilsonAndrew What liberty are we trading by giving police departments the ability to detect and intercept hostile drones?

@rahul Harsh truth: You are far more likely to be struck by lightning reading this post than by any drone. Militarizing our communities into some kind of dystopian authoritarian protectorate is delusionally paranoid and those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither. Man up

@DeathlyHarvest I respect the call-out here but we actually don't build drone detection/mitigation technology. This is just a concern of mine based on the gaps I've noticed in the space.

In Europe, the police are provided with drone jammers specifically for this purpose. In Japan, Tokyo Police has an anti-drone squad to take down drones. This is a problem for the new age. How is the military supposed to stop a guy who goes to Best Buy, buys a consumer drone, straps a home made explosive on it, and flys it into a stadium?

@rahul Where on planet earth have local cops been tasked with shooting down incoming missile and drone attacks?

@typesfast Unless we're planning on staffing enough active duty USAF personnel across the country to respond within 30 seconds of a hostile drone detection, local cops are the only ones with the infrastructure in place to address threats quickly

@rahul Why would the police departments be expected to shoot down enemy drones when we have a $1T defense department budget?

And if you think this post only applies to the threat from Iran, please don't forget that the cartels are really, really good at sneaking around on boats, launching drones, and evading capture. And things are escalating down south too.

If this post scares you, good, it should. Our public safety agencies are dramatically underequipped to combat the threats of the modern world, and that won't change until communities decide to fund and demand that they stay ahead of threats like this to keep them safe.

@wallyrashid 1/ over 100 boats hit the CA shoreline without coast guard detection a year 2/ Shahed drones can strike targets in CA from a boat 2000km+ away, far from detection 3/ local agencies have no scalable way of detecting or stopping the drones

There is nothing stopping Iran or any country from successfully doing this. We have not invested in the technical infrastructure to defend against domestic drone attacks, and we haven't even changed the laws to allow for local cops to help defend against it.
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter

BREAKING: The FBI has warned police departments in California that Iran could launch a retaliatory attack at the US West Coast using drones, per ABC News. Details include: 1. The alert said that the FBI "recently acquired information" of a potential "surprise attack" 2. Iran "aspired" to do this using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast 3. Targets are "unspecified" but expected to be in California 4. A spokeswoman for the FBI office in LA declined to comment Oil prices are now up over +6% today.
