As Flock Safety faces mounting backlash, Axon is already rolling out its replacement. Meet Lightpost: AI-powered license plate readers and live streaming surveillance cameras built directly into existing streetlights. How fun. 4th amendment be damned.

I guess we’re gonna have to start cutting down street lights, to keep them safe of course.

Yeah - Axon also has many contracts with police for tasers and bodycams. Trump invested in them in Feb 2026. Major shareholders are Blackrock and Vanguard.

>flock pushes far ahead of what people consider acceptable >other company steps in as the more "reasonable" alternative >wins over enough people who are so relieved not to have flock that they don't fight it >surveillance state still takes a huge step forward

Make it unaffordable.

“The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, so long as he remained within the field of vision…he could be seen as well as heard.” -George Orwell

The owner of AXON (formerly AIR TASER, Inc), is Patrick Smith, from Scottsdale, AZ; another filthy rich billionaire. The main investor is Vanguard.

Hey while you’re here give me a follow @JoshWalkos and check out this article about our burgeoning privatized panopticon.

With all eyes on Flock, it makes me wonder what's coming next.

Time to DESTROY then all!

So in other words, their only customer for this is government and despite every day people struggling to afford food, government prioritization is spending yet more money to surveil people. Great. Do you not see how much your governments hate you?

We need a Class Action suit against these fuckers. The constitution is clear. Easy win. Bankrupt this company.

They are not going to shrug their shoulders and go away. They got caught. Now they are rebranding. Gonna put a different bow on the same package. Maybe some new features along with that. By the way, this is why all these data centers are going up. They need someplace to house all that information on everyone, and everything. The elite capitalists know it, which is why they’re all trying to get in on it. Anyone with a billion dollars is trying to dump tall stacks on data centers. They are convinced of the totalitarian police state to come.

Americans are declaring war on Americans. Maybe this war will save our very lost culture.

This is the predictable response to public outcry, they will just move further to hide what they are doing from public eyes. You need to go after the politicians that enable this, not the physical devices.

✅They all fall the same 🫠

If you haven't check out AXON on Wikipedia, you really should. Of course it's tied to Is rael! Very deep & troubling past. Not good peeps, not good at ALL!

live streaming cameras built into every streetlight is a real step up from point-in-time plate reads, that's continuous coverage, not occasional captures carpenter v. united states already flagged persistent location tracking as different from a single data point legally does axon's lawyers actually think this survives that precedent, or are they betting nobody sues before it's everywhere?

HAHA now street light will be found on the ground or wires cut in the post.

Not the only one. Flock is the patsy, these and others replace it: Palantir, Clearview AI, Motorola Solutions (Vigilant), Rekor Systems, Genetec (AutoVu), PlateSmart, Leonardo/ELSAG, Axon (Fusus), SoundThinking, Spyglass Technologies, Jenoptik, Auror

A Nation of Riflemen. The Entire Surveillance State has to be dismantled. And the people that keep putting forward tehse "businesses" need to be wrecked, as well as the governmental agencies focused on surveilling all Americans All The Time.

They are probably insured using taxpayer money.

These companies are simply setting their stocks up to fall. At first the stock will get a bump from government contracts but as citizens outrage targets these 1984 style cameras politicians will begin to be against flock to align themselves to get elected and in a year or two their stocks will plunge significantly.

Yes i keep posting about @axon_enterprise because no one seems to know about them..

@llotus6 Yes, they are not only in every street light, they are in EVERY LIGHT, FIRE ALARM, PARKING LOT, STREET INTERSECTION, CAR, SCHOOL, & Soon to be EVERY BUSINESS. It’s called NATIONAL SECURITY, DOMESTIC TERRORISM. #COINTELPRO

Axon gas military contracts with DoD for detecting unmanned craft, as well as civilian contracts for their equivalent to Flock Cameras and software. I find it interesting that they supposedly got awarded a contract in Sparks, Nevada after the city got rid of Flock from complaints. There is a secure intelligence facility within a 3 hour drive from Sparks as well.

@DPAZ2222 Time to not go buy more reciprocating saw blades boys.

Fuck Flock. Americans don't want mass surveillance. Axon is next on the hit list. Grab your Fuck Flock tee. ⬇️

We should not have to live this way.

Ubiquia - an obvious play on ubiquitous which means “everywhere.” Not even trying to hide it, in fact advertising it as a feature not a bug. No thank you. I prefer LESS big brother and MORE freedom please.

Whoever finds the legit real motivation behind this sudden Mass flock camera surveillance being set up will be famous. These camera's are not for our safety!!!
