As always a great talk from Bill Swearingen, this year he spoke about defeating systems like flock.
He mentioned some crazy stats:
🗺️ There's 120k Flock cameras
📸 They scan cars 20 BILLION times a month
And that's just flock's network 🤯

When a family gets a Bunnings sausage, they are getting full spectrum coverage with experimental facial recognition technology. When an elderly citizen languishes in the Coles auto-checkout corral like a wounded animal, they are surrounded by the surveillance technology of a company that has proudly boasted about improving the deadliness of the killing fields of Gaza.

Flock tightened its license plate camera rules this month, after Arizona police were found tracking protesters with them.
Tempe already stopped sharing its Flock data and will not renew. East Valley Unite says the police want another license plate reader company instead, so the group is turning out to the council meeting.
August 31, 6 pm, Tempe City Hall, 31 E 5th St. The listing asks people to wear red.

Automation and repression — why the two go hand in hand
Revolts, triggered by inequality* "It's taxes or pitchforks!"
"This is the real underlying threat posed by automation: tremendous social upheaval, public unrest, and political collapse stemming from widespread unemployment and grotesque inequality.""More automation will require more redistribution to cushion the disruptive effects of automation, so as a country automates more, the tax burden will keep increasing on "capitalists"
Acemoglu, Shadmehr and Gitmez "have modelled how workers would try to coordinate in an uprising, and how a capitalist state would try to prevent an uprising occurring, in an environment in which automation and inequality are increasing."
"They say the novel finding of their paper is that automation and repression complement and reinforce each other...The economy will ultimately converge to repression and the 'pitchforks' will be met with 'guns' from the capitalist state". >>
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-26/automation-and-repression-the-two-go-hand-in-hand-daron-acemoglu/107063582* "We characterize the trade-off between the regulation of automation, redistribution and repression.Our main result is a complementarity between automation and repression. We show that, starting in a democracy, capital accumulation and thus greater automation encourages the capitalists to support a coup against democracy and set up a repressive system." >>

“A police department in Florida used “decoy” Flock cameras that an officer 3D-printed at home to “bait” would-be vandals. Police officers monitored the fake cameras for days, then charged a man with three felonies after he cut down and destroyed one of the plastic devices. The police department in question refuses to release any information about how the decoy operation was devised or carried out and claims there is zero paper trail whatsoever about the operation.
Oviedo, Florida mayor Megan Sladek said she “had NO idea” that this was happening and said she was “speechless” over the sting operation, which was first reported by News 6 Orlando. The arrest shows that police have escalated their attempts to catch potential Flock vandals, and that some departments have dedicated significant resources into doing so. Sladek told 404 Media that the 3D-printed camera in question was “free.””

I've been dreaming of a mint-tin-style Faraday cage the perfect size for a phone. Such that i could slip it in my pocket and have it essentially take up the same amount of space as the naked phone.
Haven't come across one yet (repurposed from some already mass-produced product would be nice!). Anyone found something similar or have ideas for procurement?

"There’s good reason for Langley to be concerned about the company’s public image. Last week, 👉 a grand jury in Ohio refused to indict a man who was caught destroying a Flock pole — despite surveillance footage catching him in the act.👈👀 Grand juries, historically, nearly always bring charges against the accused, making it a stunning indictment of Flock’s public reputation."

Handcuffed for knowing your rights.
“You pull it up and show me that it’s not working and I will leave you alone,” the officer said. “Otherwise I’m ripping it off the wall, I’m writing a search warrant and I’m going to keep you up all night.”
“the officer walked to her bedroom while Teel was in handcuffs, retrieved her phone and held it to her face to unlock it”
Don’t worry though. The cops are investigating themselves.

Newly disclosed records reveal how undercover federal agents posed as concerned community members
to spy on residents and activists who opposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) crackdown in Minnesota.Internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) files, document the actions of several undercover agents,
including one who went by the username “peanutbutterjelly” in Signal chats with activists.
The documents show that the officer kept records of Signal conversations,
screenshotting chats about protest plans,
and offering to help with fundraising efforts and volunteer recruitment.Another undercover agent took photos at demonstrations and protest planning meetings,
including of demonstrators in frog costumes,
a poster that mocked JD Vance with heavy eye makeup,
and a protester writing an anti-ICE message in chalk.Other DHS agents trailed a protester as he left his home, got coffee and went to a church.
The records were released as part of the Department of Justice’s ongoing prosecution of 15 Minneapolis protesters, accused of being part of a “conspiracy” to “impede” ICE.
A tranche of internal DHS files disclosed in the case earlier this month revealed
DHS extensively spied on prominent leftwing groupsand protesters as part of its investigation into anti-ICE activity.
DHS called the investigation “Operation Puppet Master”,
the files showed,
sending undercover agents to community meetings,
infiltrating Signal chats
and obtaining financial records of left-leaning non-profit organizations and unions.The surveillance escalated during widespread anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis
after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January.Civil rights groups and the protesters’ attorneys have argued the government was surveilling people without justification
and is criminalizing lawful protest activity.

DHS called the investigation “Operation Puppet Master”,
the files showed,
sending undercover agents to community meetings,
infiltrating Signal chats
and obtaining financial records of left-leaning non-profit organizations and unions.The surveillance escalated during widespread anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis
after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January.Civil rights groups and the protesters’ attorneys have argued the government was surveilling people without justification
and is criminalizing lawful protest activity.
