"What began as a quiet expansion has now triggered a widespread and growing backlash. That backlash is far from irrational. It is the natural response of free people who recognize a fundamental threat to their privacy rights when they see one."
Roger gets at the core of the issue ! Especially as we ( real Americans ) celebrate our 250th 'Birthday'.. and especially the principles and values that were born on that birthday.
The issue is not whether Flock cameras can solve crimes. Of course they can. The issue is whether the state may build a suspicionless travel ledger on every citizen and search it later. No. Public roads do not mean public lives. If police want to know where a suspect’s car has been, get a warrant. If prosecutors need the data, make the showing. The Bill of Rights is the regulation. The warrant requirement preserves both law enforcement and liberty. Without it, license-plate readers become general warrants on utility poles — perfect tools for managed decline and political control.
Excellent Richard. Also just because a camera catches one's car driving in a particular road doesn't mean it was the OWNER driving the car. I know this from personal experience.
Great article sir, very thorough. Thank you for posting this. These monitoring systems are in nearly every metro area in the country, red state and blue state alike. Conservatives should be strongly against all forms of general surveillance, but unfortunately most accept it as part of the claimed need for "better policing" or "tracking illegals" or some other quasi-believable excuse.
For those interested in seeing how bad it really is in each local area, check the DeFlock website: https://deflock.org/
This website will show where all known surveillance systems are located. There are several other systems besides Flock in operation, so watch for all of them. These are part of the Smart Cities initiatives, which goes along with the "Fifteen Minute Cities" and other globalist plans to restrict and control everyone. Spread the word.
Flock cameras record activity on a public street. It is well settled law that individuals have no right to privacy when they are on a public street. If the cameras are banned, then we should also ban everyone's Ring cameras because they also record activity on public streets. The problem I have is not the use by the police to investigate crime, but the Flock corporation selling the information for profit to data centers and advertisers.
Spoken like a true Communist ... in support of the State and their so called "settled" "law" that there is no privacy in "public"..... ( ignoring that the individual (s) are ALSO members of that 'public'). And against the Corporation a cough-cough Private entity.
YES, Indeed. Das Capital should be studied by ALL who love Freedom, virtue and Western values. Because within Marx's book is the recipe for the complete unraveling of Western Culture.
It’s definitely a doxing mechanism for our government. Where’s that data stored? In some third world country….Due process takes forever, trampling on our constitutional rights.
I have a different take on this. I believe the bill of rights, specifically, Article IV in this case, was to protect the citizens from warrantless search and seizures in private homes by the federal government. Article X of the amendments, subsequently, states powers not given to the United States are reserved to the states or the people, therefore the states can regulate what goes on in the public domain, and in that domain there is no right of privacy. State and municipal regulations are instituted to maintain law and order. Public right of ways have set speed limits and direction for safety and efficiency. One gets a drivers license issued in the county of residence. One pays taxes and registration to use the license and registered vehicle to traverse public roadways but said documents do not give one license to violate the laws of the road. If more tickets were issued as a result of cameras, just maybe our insurance rates would lower because those not caring about law and order would have their driving privileges removed.
The Habit restaurant owned by Yumi brands owners of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell in CA is going no cash… No counting cash for drawers, from drawers, bank deposits, bank change runs or armed services… Nothing to rob… If labor costs savings offset any lost business it spreads through Yumi starting in high minimum wage areas and labor shortage regions…
A digital record of every penny spent, permits entire categories like beef and gas to be rationed… The digital data reinforces cell location for government used on J6…
It is the green dream to force people out of family homes into multi storied apartments adjacent to Union unsafe, filthy, unreliable government transportation… Similarly the vegan greens want people off of beef, lamb, pork etc because of flatulence…
The oligarch despots have already censored medical and election news and data… They have used their monopoly powers and collusion to bankrupt conservative Parler and demonitiize conservative thought… They have used these monopolies funds to directly control govt voting operations
Imagine their arrogance when jobs are eliminated by tech, citizens forced to govt largesse when they control govt tax revenue… Musks Twitter revelations demonstrated the oligarchs were in bed with the govt, the Biden Administration…
Imagine a non cash economy where Mark Zuckerburg determines where your digital currency can be spent… The socialists have already shown their spots to abuse any and all power… Imagine if Bernie, AOC, Mandami, Pelosi throttle your spending while Newsome eats in French Laundry, Nancy goes to the hair salon, Witmer flies to Florida, Newsome’s kids attend school daily… Incompetents crazed with power controlling your life like every blue state covid
One of the main ways imo this has become normalized in the UK is the so-called reliance by police detectives and private detectives on CCTV footage to solve crimes and murders.
The first to arrive were the cameras
Installed to protect both you and me
In places where we weren't that threatened
And yet the people didn't see
What followed were traffic restrictions
To keep the roads quiet and clean
The math didn't add up, or the science
But still the people didn't see
Next came the 15 minute neighborhoods
Make our lives easier, decreed
To some, it seemed like restrictions
But still the people didn't see
Then came the Digital ID
So convenient, easy and free!
Your life in one chip on a mainframe
And still the people didn't see
The cars they sold were electric
All wired to the government PC
They switched off the driving on Sundays
Yet still the people didn't see
The banks moved their money to digital
The government banned cash the next week
The ability to fly was restricted
Yet still the people didn't see
They linked up your money and profile
To the ID on the government PC
Connected it to social media
Yet still the people didn't see
Then came a new cure, a new virus
Safe and Effective, and free
They linked these jabs to your profile
And connected the government PC
When the people were locked up in cities
Policed by their digital ID
Unable to visit their loved ones
Now finally the people can see
Restricted and tracked with no money,
To go further a permit you'll need
Contained in your digital city
Oh why did the people not see?!
These steps they sold us as progress
Never looked to be quite what they seemed
If you don't ask the questions and protest
Then your children will never know FREE.

Absolutely brilliant! 🎯
friggen this.
This the slippery slope to Constant surveillance under ruthless control! The democRAts dream…
To quote directly from Roger above :
"What began as a quiet expansion has now triggered a widespread and growing backlash. That backlash is far from irrational. It is the natural response of free people who recognize a fundamental threat to their privacy rights when they see one."

I totally agree!...
GET The FLOCK GONE

its Communism

Who is driving the car is immaterial. The only relevance is who the car belongs to. Flock cameras only record the rear license plate.
Uh No ... it's not irrelevant at all. Irrelevant to who exactly ? The Surveillance State ?

Tell me why any cameras help us?...

Damn. A lot hate on flock cams lately. I think it’s warranted.
Talk to your buddy, Trump. The guy in the driver seat, or getting blackmailed
Seth Riche’s flock cameras videos are where?
