00:00:00.000 I don't think that I've ever in 10 years had an item that's come before us where virtually 100% of the people gave the same position on it.
00:00:18.920 Yeah, I'm concerned about the people that came up and said sincerely that Flock is impacting their trust.
00:00:25.800 Flock Safety and its army of automated license plate readers have blanketed more than 5,000 American communities with tens of thousands of cameras that quietly photograph every vehicle that rolls past, logging plates, make, model, color, stickers, and direction of travel into a searchable national database that police and private clients can query without a warrant.
00:00:50.460 These systems, sold under the banner of public safety, create precisely the kind of persistent location-tracking mosaic that the Supreme Court warned against.
00:01:03.180 Yet courts remain split while the cameras keep multiplying and the data keeps flowing across jurisdictions.
00:01:11.180 The technology is really simple.
00:01:12.420 A car drives by, we take a picture, and it's a static picture of a car, and then we read the license plate.
00:01:19.460 That's what the technology is.
00:01:20.420 It's actually not that complicated.
00:01:22.260 It's pretty simple.
00:01:23.320 And then they put it into a database.
00:01:25.300 And this is where it gets really scary.
00:01:26.980 Because now you have pictures of every innocent person who drives by in a database that is kept for a month or more and shared throughout the nation with all of Flock's law enforcement customers.
00:01:39.980 And in fact, even internationally with people associated with Flock.
00:01:44.900 And so essentially, you know, even though in America, you know, one of our core constitutional principles is privacy, we have a company working with governments to record the comings and goings of every single person in the country as if you and I and everyone else were potential criminals.
00:02:01.940 And that is a, in my opinion, a very un-American take on privacy and the way that we engage in criminal justice enforcement.
00:02:09.660 Ayala investigation triggered an internal audit of the flock system department wide.
00:02:14.780 Court records show that audit revealed Detective Taranji Chapman used the system to track the
00:02:19.480 movements of two citizens 20 times between January 2024 and January 2025, inputting the
00:02:26.240 terms test or training into the system to explain the reason for the searches. This is an image of
00:02:31.740 how many flock cameras there were on February 25th of 2024. Then June 2025, this is how many they put
00:02:39.060 up in that time frame then here is march 2026 how many cameras they put up flock cameras uh which
00:02:46.740 of course the cover story is to like make things safer and better but this looks like a surveillance
00:02:51.660 grid going up in real time just knowing that there's cameras like watching your every move i
00:02:57.460 mean even if i'm out walking my dog or anything you know it's i think it's just a privacy issue
00:03:02.820 what makes the operation especially galling is the quiet lengths to which the company and its
00:03:08.680 partners go to keep their own presence out of the public eye even as they film the rest of us
00:03:14.640 without consent or meaningful notice oh wait you don't feel safe being surveilled is that what
00:03:19.760 you're saying because that's what you guys do to us without our consent okay and i think it's
00:03:24.180 interesting when you guys have this happen you call the police and make us get stopped but then
00:03:28.500 you do it and it's okay i mean i'll call the police what we'd like you to do is basically
00:03:34.060 with saying that you're trespassing on this site.
00:03:36.040 This same network that loves to crow about how transparent it is for the cops 0.61
00:03:41.400 turns around and runs the whole charade like a black side operation
00:03:46.220 when it comes to the rest of us.
00:03:48.180 The watchers stay carefully unwatched,
00:03:51.100 while ordinary people's constitutional rights get quietly carved up
00:03:55.480 and sold off under the soft, never-blinking glow of the eye of Sauron.
00:04:01.040 There are three things you need to do this system.
00:04:04.060 One is you need the digital ID. That is the core. And that's why they were pushing so hard for vaccine passports.
00:04:10.560 You know, that was a you know, that was one of the pathways to a digital ID.
00:04:14.640 The second thing they need is they need the hardware and software infrastructure.
00:04:18.280 So they need the data centers. They need the underground cables.
00:04:21.460 They need the camera, the license plate reader.
00:04:24.240 So part of it is surveillance because the control comes in in two ways, spatial control and then financial transaction control.
00:04:32.280 And then the third one, of course, is programmable money.
00:04:34.560 This is getting nuts.
00:04:35.420 People across the country cutting down our flock cameras.
00:04:38.200 You see what the problem is, these lunatics think that our cameras that are surveilling the masses at all times are some kind of mass surveillance network.
00:04:45.280 Hey, Lisa, as the kids, no, you don't know me, but I know you.

00:05:32.280 Let's go.
00:06:02.280 I don't know.
