Hey, welcome back to the channel. These stories keep rolling in. Right here, police shut down I-94, boxed in a silver SUV, held two innocent people at gunpoint after Flock cameras flagged the car as connected to a homicide, except it wasn't. The alert was outdated, authorities forgot to remove it, and men with guns surrounded innocent people. >> Brookfield police with guns drawn pull over a car they say was flagged by Flock cameras in connection to a homicide out of Milwaukee. Well, turns out this was all some sort of mishap with the Flock camera systems. In fact, Brookfield police say they called Milwaukee police and MPD said they no longer needed the car or the people inside, so officers let them go, but you know, this has really become a point of contention. Flock cameras as a whole, as more reports of misuse by law enforcement across the country arise. >> It's become a point of contention and it's epidemic. Chandler, Arizona is discontinuing its use of their 40 plus Flock cameras and its AI-powered software system after an audit found yet another officer had reportedly illegally used the unconstitutional system for their personal use. >> Good afternoon. We recognize the substantial interest in the city of Chandler's automated license plate reader technology, and so we're here today to discuss some issues and then we'll take some questions afterwards. Uh after careful consideration, city leadership has decided to discontinue the use of Flock cameras in Chandler. The city council will not pursue a renewal of our service agreement with the vendor at this time. Accountability, transparency, and public trust are among the core principles of a high-functioning police department. >> believe that for a second. I believe that it was public pressure that caused them to want to eliminate the contract with Flock. And I wonder what they're going to replace it with cuz remember, Flock is not the only technology in the surveillance space. You've got Axon, which basically powers most law enforcement that use body cams, and you've got Motorola, and there are always lucrative offers dangling at the end of those contracts for local law enforcement agencies. >> And they guide decision-making at every level of our organization. Having said that, this week for the first time in nearly 3 years, a proactive audit system flagged an anomaly anomaly in the Flock system uh which was used by a member of our department. As a result, we immediately launched an internal investigation to determine exactly what happened. Part of that investigation will be to determine if Flock was used inappropriately. And if so, discipline will follow. It's important to underscore the fact that our own accountability systems caught this anomaly, which demonstrates that our systems of accountability are working as intended. >> The problem is this is not an anomaly. They have over 120,000 Flock safety cameras sprinkled throughout the country right now, and every single one of them is unconstitutionally surveilling us. This is not an anomaly, it's not a bug, it's a feature that's built into the surveillance system. >> And though we are still very early in the investigation, we can say with certainty that nobody's privacy has been compromised as part of this potential misuse. >> Everybody's privacy is compromised with the construction and maintenance and upkeep of every single one of those cameras. >> Nonetheless, any potential misuse of the Flock system is something that we must take seriously. >> [snorts] >> I want every Chandler resident, visitor, and business owner to know that no law enforcement tool is more important than the trust you place in us every single day. >> And this is why people are doing things like this even in broad daylight because people are tired of the government surveilling us. The government should know absolutely nothing about us and we should know everything about them. And when I say people are getting sick of this, I mean they're getting so sick of this, they're willing to lose their freedoms to take down and take out a couple of Flock cameras. This right here, man arrested and charged with shooting Flock cameras in Talladega County. This article says six criminal complaints filed in Talladega County District Court accused Colden Lindoro of damaging Flock camera systems belonging to the Talladega County Commission. The complaints list 10 total counts, six labeled as first-degree criminal mischief and four labeled damage to utility or cable property. Four complaints alleged Doro damaged Flock cameras by shooting them with a gun. The other two complaints alleged damage to Flock camera systems, but do not say how the damage allegedly happened. Each complaint alleges more than $2,500 in damage. Doro was arrested on July 29th and is being held on a $200,000 There are psychopaths who murder people who don't get $200,000 bonds. This guy right here is a hero. I hope somebody sets up a GoFundMe for him and I hope he gets a jury of his peers so he can be completely acquitted of any and all wrongdoing. This guy may not wear a cape, but he's certainly a hero. And he's not the only one doing this and not apologizing for it. >> Ed Kills tells me that he understands what he did was illegal when he decided to back his work truck into this which had a Flock safety camera on it. Despite being arrested and still not having his work truck back, he says he doesn't regret his decision. >> We move out here because we want quiet. We don't want to cause any trouble. I don't. Now I'm under surveillance. >> Kill says he was heading to lunch when he spotted the camera at Superstition Boulevard and Goldfield Road in Apache Junction. He says he pulled up in his work truck and used it to bend the camera toward the sky protesting what he calls an invasion of privacy. >> Get backing up and I saw it bend back. I saw it looking at the sky and I said that's good enough. >> The camera has since been removed. Kill says he did not damage the camera itself but fears he could now be charged for the fact that it's no longer operable. >> I'm being punished. So is my business. You know what? It's worth it. The only thing necessary for evil to be done is for good men to do nothing. >> The only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. This good man did something and we need to defend him. And speaking of doing something, this is an idea. >> This is a Flock camera, one of about 100,000 installed across the United States to watch over you and keep you safe. But there are criminals among us who believe that these violate their privacy and human rights. These hooligans are going out and purchasing battery-operated reciprocating saws like this one and 6-in Diablo Steel Demon blades knowing it's more efficient and quieter than angle grinders. They go out dressed in non-identifying disposable clothing including work gloves and full face covered so as to not display the color of their skin, their eyes, their hair color, or their tattoos. Of course, these people are careful so they make purchases in cash and keep no receipts. In preparation of their illicit activities, these vile individuals use defloc.org to pick a target and plan a route that avoids camera detection. With all phones, smartwatches, and geolocating devices left at home, these villains know if they're not caught in the act, they'll get away scot-free. I've set up a demonstration on my private property to show you just how efficient the lunatics have become. With their saw wrapped in a trash bag, they approach from behind the camera's line of sight and tear right through this black aluminum alloy post, leaving all of their electronic devices at home, mind you. Hopefully, Flock has secured the cameras a little better so they don't get a personal injury lawsuit. Once these degenerates have destroyed the post, they go for the camera, too, even the solar panel. They're thorough in their destruction to ensure maximum monetary loss, and they always leave the remnants behind as a visceral message to all. After this, the cold-hearted anarchists make their predetermined getaway, casually yet swift. By adhering to this specific set of principles, this wild subculture of Flock hunters ensures that their MO is always the same. The modus operandi never changes. That way, if one of their members is picked up by law enforcement, they will face one charge of vandalism, but tying them to any previous or subsequent acts of destruction will be nearly impossible for the prosecutor. Some say Flock hunters are domestic terrorists, others true patriots protecting our rights, our freedom, and our future. As for me, well, I'm just an unbiased independent journalist. >> This is how to make your plate invisible for all cameras and skip tickets easily. Just apply this chemical spray with polymers to create a reflective surface that scatters light effectively. >> [music] >> Do you need it? >> Jacob Petrosky, 194 South La Amador Trail. Good evening. I hope you guys have been having a great summer. I know I have. Um I've spent the last several months talking to people all over Casa Grande, and one thing keeps coming up, safety. So, today I'm excited to announce a new company called Shepherd Safety. Our mission is simple. Keep government officials and their families safe. We're launching satellites to watch over Casa Grande day and night. Our AI will monitor where government officials go, where they stop, who they meet with, and when they return home. We've already started collecting and building profiles on your vehicles, spouses' vehicles, children's vehicles, and other visual visual characteristics. We'll combine that information with publicly available data, Bluetooth signals, advertising IDs, vehicle information, commercial data sources, so our authorized users can replay the movements of every government official and their immediate family. There's no difference than the current Flock Safety Capture systems. Everything will be stored securely, and only authorized users will have access. Local businesses will be invited to join our network, so government officials can continue being protected while shopping, eating, or traveling throughout the city. Some of you might think this sounds invasive, but and you may worry about abuse, you may worry about unauthorized access, tracking innocent people. We understand those concerns. After all, those are the exact same concerns of all the citizens. >> But, vandalism isn't the only way to guard against the surveillance state. A lot of people are putting up these no-Flock zone signs in the way of the Flock camera, so that Flock can't keep an eye on us. And this is one of those. >> Karl Gun from St. Petersburg, Florida, noticed a Flock camera was put up in his neighborhood, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Not by vandalizing or cutting any cameras down, but by taking his pool skimmer, attaching a sign to it, and sitting in front of the camera all day. When police approached Carl to see what was going on, he said, "I have a right to my privacy. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and I don't need anybody sticking their nose in my business." [music] Passing drivers honked in support, brought him snacks and drinks, and even offered to provide shade. Flock's nationwide network of AI-powered surveillance cameras [music] allows law enforcement to track people's movements and follow where Americans drive, often without a warrant or any suspicion of wrongdoing. Their cameras have [music] the power to track vehicles' make, model, color, and even things as personalized as bumper stickers, [music] dents, and scratches. Carl is right to speak up, and many Americans across the United States are speaking out against Flock cameras and other ALPRs. >> And it's not just that they take a picture of your license plate and find out where you are. They also know who you're with with signal trace technology because all of our devices emit signals, and signal trace picks up those signals so that it can identify who those signals are attached to. They also have Raven technology and Shot Spotter technology, which can hear what people are saying when they're in the vicinity. It's an intrusive surveillance state that a lot of people are rising up against, and I think this could be the unifying factor to get Americans to finally band together and do something about government intrusion and corruption.
