And even more fun, Flock has lost almost 400 contracts since last summer.
Meanwhile Axon and other alpr companies gained 400 contracts because billionaires are afraid
A) They should be
B) Cameras won’t stop shit if what they’re worried about came to pass, they’ll collect evidence that will be largely unusable, because it’ll be crowds they need to worry about, not “Steve.”
Cameras will be used as input to the AI datacenters directing the drones and Boston Dynamics robodog killbots.
Ehhhhh by then pipe bombs won’t be so passé.
Pipe bombs against what target? That’s why they’re building bunkers in Hawaii and putting the data centers in space.
The aforementioned dogs. The welder is for the bunkers.
i wonder if its possible to make some kind of emp gun that would send a pulse which would mess/shutdown drones and other malicious mechanical things
Dream on. Country is run by a pedo and nobody cares.
Nobody cares? I guess that’s why nobody talks about it.
“Constantly you say?”
Welcome to murica ,land of free …🤔
Respectfully, the facts demonstrate otherwise, given that Donald (going off his disapproval rating) is the most unpopular president in history. People hate that we have a pedo as president, they’re just powerless to do anything about it until the next election.
Further, in just the last four months Flock has lost nearly 400 contracts in 36 states, and largely off boring, lawful resistance. It’s why they’re offering employee buyouts, and it doesn’t matter if some jurisdictions pivot to Motorola or Axon because the technology simply does not work and will still be unregulated.
There is something in the cultural DNA of Americans that truly hates this technology, and what’s even worse… it fails often and spectacularly enough that people are even angrier.
We absolutely can do something about it before the election. We’ve had a king before.
Sorry for necro, if anyone still uses that term, but:
Bro then fucking do it. You won’t, pussy, no balls.
OR you have a life, don’t want to die, you know that it won’t solve anything it’ll just make Vance president and further the goals of the surveillance state, and that you expecting others to do what you wont is fucking dumb. Pick one and stick with it. The only people who have the right to say “but we could shoot him” to me are those who have tried, either do it or kindly fuck off with that shit tbh.
I’m more of an angry mob kinda guy than a lone shooter kinda guy. Acting unilaterally is just stupid.
We NEED to put this kind of pressure on all ALPR companies. I don’t mean to take the foot off the gas with Flock, but I’m so afraid that Axon and Motorola and others will swoop in once Flock is gone, and everyone will be done with/tired of this particular public fight.
But also put that pressure on your local city councils (and other state and local government entities) that keep perpetuating this surveillance.
They are often the ones signing on the dotted line for these contracts at the insistence of their ostensibly subordinate law enforcement.
Where I live, many towns have certain spending thresholds, below which some administrator can make unilateral decisions on what to purchase without getting council approval.
Flock et. al. know this and do bespoke contracts for like $1 under the limit, so in many cases the council isn’t even aware.
What about, let’s say Google? They have much more personal informations about you than a camera will ever provide. They basically have the location data of 75% of Americans at any minutes. Why don’t you start by putting pressure on them?
