Do you still own a ring doorbell camera? I would think twice about this. Amazon Ring cameras have partnered with Flock Safety, a Palantir-backed firm whose technology is widely used by law enforcement. It is set to go live in November. Starting in December they will be partnering with Axiom a company that created law enforcement body Cameras. Ring is about to go from safety to surveillance. Are we one step closer to a surveillance state? 🎥thejoed69 he also has Tech, Sports and a Rabbit Hole channel.

Law enforcement agencies in the U.S. use AI-powered cameras to scan billions of vehicles each month, often without drivers ever realizing. Supporters say the technology is a tool for solving crimes. But critics warn it's creating a nationwide surveillance network, raising urgent questions about how much privacy Americans are willing to sacrifice in the name of safety. Paul Solman reports.

Flock Safety is an Orwellian mass surveillance program using artificial intelligence automatic license plate readers connected to a nationwide database. Reason’s Bess Byers covered it last year, and a lot has changed.

Westland will remove its ten Flock Safety license plate-reading cameras when the city’s contract expires at the end of the month. It comes after Westland Police Chief Kyle Dawley decided not to bring a renewal contract to the Westland City Council for approval. In a statement, the Westland Police Department said discussions with council members about how the cameras are used showed the council is “deeply split on this matter.” Flock Safety defended the technology’s value in a statement, arguing that removing systems used to solve violent crimes and find missing people can slow investigations. The company said that in 2025 its technology supported more than 1 million criminal investigations and incidents, contributed to an estimated 20% of solved cases in jurisdictions where it is deployed, and helped locate more than 10,000 missing people.

New Audit reveals Flock Safety Cameras are being used as mass surveillance cameras by multiple agencies The audit shows Flock cameras in San Francisco are being accessed hundreds of times by out of state agencies and federal agencies “Stunning revelation from San Francisco's police chief putting the spotlight on the city's license plate cameras — A recent audit uncovered activity that violated violates California law. The police chief said the city's license plate cameras were improperly accessed hundreds of times by Western State Information Network. That was done on behalf of federal and out-of-state law enforcement agencies, which include the DEA, the ATF, as well as state agencies in Oregon and Washington” “San Francisco has more than 400 license plate reading cameras across the city” For reference, the Western States Information Network is a regional intelligence sharing hub on behalf of federal agencies (DEA, ATF, IRS, U.S. Marshals) and out-of-state agencies for Oregon, Washington, and others like Idaho Think about how much this is being abused nationwide. Think of how many states don’t even restrict sharing the data From what I could find this is likely legal in as many as over 40 states This is the mass surveillance network in America

A city in Oregon was forced to permanently remove its Flock cameras after an audit found that federal agencies had access to the system. The audit revealed that two federal agencies could access the data, including the ability to search the broader network of license plate records for up to six months. Flock cameras are used as a mass surveillance tool under the guise of public safety.

San Jose, California residents file a lawsuit against the city for their deployment of Flock license plate reading cameras The people behind this lawsuit say the city has violated the Fourth Amendment by conducting surveillance without a warrant “Drivers have filed a class action suit against San Jose and its police department over the deployment of nearly 500 cameras, including by Flock safety” In California Flock camera data has been shared with the federal government as well as nonprofits (which is insane) Activists also say they are being used to track illegals in San Jose. So I guess this is one benefit

THE QUIET RISE OF AMERICA’S AI SURVEILLANCE NETWORK Flock Safety “license plate readers” are quietly building an AI-powered surveillance grid that logs where millions of ordinary Americans drive, work, worship, and live every day. Police across the country have already been caught abusing these systems to stalk and harass people, and even the LAPD has now let its Flock contract expire over civil liberties and privacy concerns. In Cleveland, elected officials voted down a renewed Flock contract, yet the cameras stayed on, and police kept using them anyway, raising serious questions about who actually controls this and who owns the data it collects. Flock’s Nova platform is designed to fuse license plate data with other records into a Google-style “people search” for law enforcement, making it easier than ever to build detailed profiles of ordinary citizens. This isn’t a hypothetical future. It’s already here and expanding. The real question now isn’t whether these systems can help solve crimes; it’s whether we’re sleepwalking into a permanent AI surveillance state where every drive, visit, protest, clinic stop, or church service is logged, stored, and ready to be used against us the moment someone in power decides we’re a problem.

Norfolk, Virginia has been quietly installing hundreds of Flock cameras enabling mass, warrantless surveillance that tracks innocent people’s movements A federal judge has sided with Americans and ordered locations public “A federal judge in Norfolk has made the locations of more than 600 flock safety surveillance cameras across Hampton Roads public. The first time such a list has ever been released. Local cities and counties had previously denied requests for this information, citing Virginia's open records law and critical infrastructure protections. But now a federal lawsuit claims the city's use of these cameras violates Fourth Amendment rights, which protects against unreasonable search and seizures. The complaint filed The Flock system, filed in 2024, seeks to stop Norfolk's use of the Flock system and erase the data already collected.” Flock Cameras offer - Privacy Erosion and Mass Surveillance - Indiscriminate Data Collection - National Data Sharing - Unauthorized Access by Federal Agencies - Easy Exploitation for hacking, many using just a USB stick with no mandatory multi-factor authentication and credentials - Lack of Transparency and Oversight

🇺🇸 License plate readers were the beginning. Tucker argues that surveillance technology is evolving far beyond tracking vehicles, claiming systems like Flock Safety are moving toward identifying faces and capturing audio while cities embrace them as a lower-cost alternative to expanding police forces. His biggest question: What do citizens get in return? If privacy keeps shrinking, the promise is supposed to be greater public safety. But if people don't feel safer, where is the tradeoff leading? The debate has shifted… How much surveillance is a free society willing to normalize? Source: TCN / Writer: Val

Flock Safety Cameras are no longer being used just as license plate readers or traffic safety This flock camera is a playground, there is no traffic to monitor. I found local governments are now just placing Flock cameras in areas where they believe crime risks might be higher Which means they are no just straight up being used for mass surveillance of Americans without a warrant This is the surveillance and police state being established Again, these are no longer just traffic cameras they’re being used for surveillance Ban them nationwide

🚨 BREAKING: Flock Safety surveillance cameras are increasingly being targeted across the United States. Recent incidents have involved cameras being: * Painted over * Smashed or cut down * Hit with lasers to disrupt recording * Deliberately vandalized by individuals opposing automated surveillance The attacks come amid growing public debate over AI-powered license plate recognition, privacy, and government surveillance. Several cities have also paused or ended Flock deployments following public backlash. As ALPR networks continue to expand, physical attacks against surveillance infrastructure are becoming an emerging security trend. Organizations deploying these systems should expect both cyber and physical threats. #DDW #DarkWeb #Intelligence #FlockSafety

Across U.S. cities, mass surveillance is quietly expanding at a rapid pace. In Denver, residents packed a town hall to oppose the city’s partnership with Flock Safety, whose cameras scan and store data from every passing vehicle. Critics say the system violates the Fourth Amendment and gives police and private companies unprecedented access to people’s movements. Despite clear opposition, Mayor Mike Johnston renewed Denver’s contract last month, adding only limited data protections while keeping the surveillance network in place. Organizers warn that Denver’s fight reflects a national trend, where claims of “public safety” are being used to justify an ever-growing infrastructure of monitoring and control.

🚨 Flock safety cameras are expanding to surveillance drones “Flock just got wings — The same company behind the cameras are now putting autonomous surveillance drones in the sky” “Now the company's automated license plate readers have spread across the country, creating one of the nation's largest interconnected video surveillance networks. After partnering with aviation software company Aerodrome, Flock launched Flock Alpha, an autonomous police drone built to respond to emergencies before officers even arrive. The drone sits inside a waterproof docking station waiting for a call, and when a 911 report comes in, the drone can launch automatically and fly up to 60 miles per hour. Officers don't even have to be standing nearby — And this thing isn't just flying overhead. It's got thermal imaging, high-definition cameras, and powerful optical zoom. And while according to Flock, It can even read a vehicle's license plate from 2,000 feet away. That's not terrifying at all….” These drones are being marketed specifically as a “Drone as First Responder” used to respond to emergency calls But that’s not really all they’re being used for. I’ve shared a video of leaked San Francisco footage of flock drones that are very clearly just roaming around looking for crimes, in other words mass surveillance This is the surveillance state

As a growing number of cities reject Flock, some are turning to Axon for surveillance technology. The problem is that residents have primarily rejected Flock because they value their privacy — but Axon isn't any better. The company says its Axon Vision technology can currently "recognize observable activity such as physical altercations, unauthorized access, medical emergencies, or hazardous conditions" in real time, and it already has millions of CCTV cameras with this capacity. Like Flock, Axon uses AI to bolster its surveillance technology. And Axon also has multiple federal government contracts for tasers, body cameras, and cloud software. Notably, Axon has contracts to provide cameras and data storage to DHS, provide weapons and training for ICE, and more. Axon also made headlines earlier this year when it appeared that Trump bought Axon stock right before ICE sought another $220 million Taser deal which is all but certain to go to the company.

Tucker Carlson says that Flock Safety Cameras aren’t about safety, they’re about mass surveillance “The promise is that if you give up your privacy, your right to kind of walk around without having your face analyzed and sent to headquarters somewhere in this or another country, you would in exchange get what? Safety. The problem is it hasn't worked that way. Harris County, Texas has over 3,000 license plate readers. You would think it would be the safest place in the United States, but weirdly, Harris County, Texas had over 500 murders in 2025. How is it that we increase the surveillance past what 1984 describes, and we still have 500 murders in one U.S. county” The data backs this up Advocacy groups such as the Texas Civil Rights Project have identified that there are nearly 3,800 Flock cameras in the surrounding greater Houston area The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has reported access to around 480 of these cameras Yet the murder rate is extremely high Harris County recorded about 503 homicides in 2024 We need to get rid of Flock cameras while we still can, this is about mass surveillance

🚨 "FLOCK YOU PETER THIEL!" — AMERICANS ARE RAGING & FIGHTING BACK AGAINST HIS SURVEILLANCE EMPIRE People are done staying quiet. A new clip showing Peter Thiel’s companies Palantir and Flock has the internet raging. Palantir, the all-seeing data monster, hoovers up massive amounts of information and turns it into actionable intelligence. Flock blankets neighborhoods with license plate readers and cameras. They’re now bragging about “Maven Smart System”, their flagship AI tool that fuses multiple data feeds into one clean god-mode interface. Left click. Right click. Detection becomes action. No more clunky systems. Just one terrifyingly efficient machine for total surveillance and targeting. This is why people are screaming “Flock you, Peter Thiel” — because his companies are building the backbone of a full blown surveillance state in plain sight. They sell it as “public safety.” Americans see it as the end of privacy and the beginning of total control. Are you still okay with Peter Thiel building the digital cage around us, or are you finally ready to admit this is a full-blown surveillance state?
