  1. So I will tell everybody that follows me and everybody else in the general space that if you want to talk about #flocksafety, and what flock safety is a company does and who funded it, and what the technology actually does and why it’s data is being used to violate basic human rights, I’m one of a few former flock safety employees that you can talk to to get that understanding

  2. @rmblaber1956 I’m
    A former #flocksafety employee here in the US , it’s already happening , and #thiel was an angel investor into flock safety to start with. Flocks product are cameras that track LPR ( license plates ).

  3. 🚨✨ Welcome to the #dystopia where your car's bumper stickers are the new FBI informants. Forget Big Brother; it's time to fear the Big Algorithm 🤖📊. Flock Safety's cameras are spreading like a rash, but hey, at least they know what color car to track when you roll through the drive-thru 🍔🚗.

  4. That #Drone in the Sky Could Be #Tracking Your Car

    Police are using their drones as flying automated license plate readers(ALPRs), airborne police #cameras that make it easier than ever for law enforcement to follow you

    "The #Flock Safety drone, specifically, are flying #LPR cameras as well,” Rahul Sidhu, VP of Aviation at #FlockSafety , recently told a group of potential law enforcement customers interested in drone-as-first-responder (DFR) programs

    Whelp, I now have wiki pages fleshed out for ALPRs and gunshot detectors on the #osm wiki. Consider these a first stab at writing down / establishing a normalized set of tags and practices for ALPRs and other surveillance tech (like gunshot detectors):

    I'm honestly not a fan of having discussion live only in Discord --- or any ephemeral IM platform. I like forums --- or at least wiki talk pages --- better :P

  6. And just the ALPRs with orientation info from deflock.me/map, showing pretty extensive coverage of all the ways into the region via 24 ALPRs, most of which are Flock devices (a few Axis ALPRs are there, too).

  7. Ho Lee Crap this region is crawling with surveillance. I mean, I kinda figured. It has a reputation as being a "bad" part of town. But damn. Dozens of Flock shot spotters, and at least a dozen ALPRs. Working on adding details to the map now. Used #StreetComplete for initial survey. Been using it often enough that I might try out adding a flow for Surveillance Things specifically rather than having to tack on notes and go back in via iD to flesh things out.
