  3. Cops Searched Thousands of Cameras for Reasons of 'LMAO,' 'IDK,' 'Hehe,' And 'Asdfg'

    Last summer, a cop with the Lake County, Sheriff's Dept used Flock's search engine to look for a license plate across more than 19,000 cameras in 1,558 cities & towns. The cop's stated reason for the search, according to a record of Flock's system, was "LMAO." The cop is one of dozens who put gibberish, jokes, or other nonsense into Flock's "reason" box, highlighting the casualness & lack of care some cops have when searching an incredibly powerful surveillance system. […] "investigation," "test," or left the box blank as their search "reason," according to a new analysis by the @eff & shared with 404. EFF's investigation found cops across dozens of jurisdictions writing "LMAO," "LOL," "Hehe," "Haha," "idk," "blah," "TBD," & "robbery I don't remember the case number leave me alone" in Flock's "reason" box for searches

  4. The chickens have come home to roost, because tech sceptics have been talking about this for years - and the proof is in the pudding, thanks to #GamersNexus and Wendell of #Level1Techs. Of course the vendor denies it, in the face of irrefutable evidence.

    We know that #surveillance capitalism is only getting worse and from it a #surveillancestate will be born.

  5. Yaogan-50 breakup: A Chinese reconnaissance satellite broke up in orbit. Sure sounds like it could have been a spy satellite, one wonders if the destruction was an accident.

  9. I was up late last night adding various threats to the open internet onto the #StopKillingTheInternet map stopkillingtheinternet.com/map. There is a lot to go to get a complete picture but should be a useful resource for campaigns, information and actions around the world. #surveillance #privacy

  16. WILD.

    A Lake County, Indiana sheriff’s deputy searched a license plate across more than 19,000 Flock cameras in 1,558 cities and towns. The stated reason: “LMAO.”

    An EFF analysis of Flock audit logs found police entering “LOL,” “idk,” “hehe,” “asdfg,” and other nonsense as justifications for searches of the company’s nationwide automated license plate reader network. Other searches simply said “investigation” or were left blank.

    Those logs exist because Flock recorded officers’ typed explanations, allowing public-records requests to expose questionable searches. In late 2025, Flock replaced the free-text field with prewritten options—a change EFF says reduced transparency into how police actually use the system.

  17. 25 Years of Mass Surveillance is Enough

    From @lawfare and @eff

    “This pipeline from private collection to governmental collection means that as companies collect more information for #surveillance capitalism purposes, more is available to law enforcement as well.”
