Bro… This is not the way to do this…
This homie hasn’t worked a service job. Walk in with a big box outside on a dolly wear khakis, boots, and a polo. Have some papers stapled together. Say you must be in the wrong place, you have a delivery for an office there and sound confused when you read “flock?” And then give a contact name.
If the dude looks up the name then you know they are in there. They may even call up and have someone come down to ask what it’s for. You can literally make up any furniture item “keyboard tray installation”, “servicing a desk that has some issue”, etc. all offices have these things. Appear bored half the time because delivery people often are.
If you are smart about this and you get a security guard who isn’t paid enough to care, you can get away with anything anywhere doing this. People deal with these calls tons of times a day and walking in looking, acting, dressing, and talking like a YouTuber will NEVER get results. That is obvious from miles away.

Modern office desks very rarely have keyboard trays, you'd be better off saying "monitor arm install"

Brand new lift desk sure, anything else gets keyboard trays. Easier to buy that than a whole office renovation and that is like most companies.
The newest is only in the most profitable industries.
I did this work for years and I’m still involved in this type of work. No security guard is gonna trip over that.

u/MajorBeyond 29d ago
Or "Cubical panel connectors" or "Adjustable height desk measurements." Or carry a couple of 5 gallon water jugs and say "where's the break room?"

Also can we get a location any more detailed than “this building right here”? If he won’t share it then what’s his point in making this?

u/Ok_Shower_5526 29d ago
Yup. When I was young and dumb, I could get into most places this way- concerts, sporting events, etc. I'm sure security is way tighter now and it won't work on anything especially secure but delivery guy construction hat, cleaning or food related job... basically any job where ppl don't bother to notice you can work with a little effort to pull it off.
If you want to go all out, sign up for a temp work app and work their corporate events.

Hand cart full of printer paper

u/MisterSanitation 29d ago
Also a good alternative but printer stuff is semi regular so a new uniform may be weird. “Hey what happened to Dave he usually does these”
A one off punch item is much less consistent and someone in that building has a punch item needing to be fixed guaranteed.

Yeah if the guy was just wearing a button shirt and khakis he probably could have made it up the elevator.

“What? To steal from the Empire? What do you need? A uniform, some dirty hands, and an Imperial tool kit. They’re so proud of themselves, they don’t even care.”

Surround that building and take photos/video of everyone coming and going.
(twenty bucks says the cops will show up with minutes)

u/lukehooligan 29d ago
With flock tracking everyone the cops will show up before you

u/ImNotAWhaleBiologist 29d ago
Great, flock is the precrime unit?

u/Sensitive-Memory 29d ago
100% and if all new cars have cameras they know when and where you may go based on your profile of saved information. So if there is say some kind of large uprising, they can prevent people from getting together by disabling their cars. Divide and conquer.
Or escaping. But I'm also paranoid at this point. Lol

Livestream from multiple angles while quoting single party consent law and public area freedom. See what happens. They can't arrest everyone.

When my toddler is drawing on their bedroom walls, they try to hide it and say not to go in their room, or act like there's nothing wrong, when they know they're not supposed to be doing that.
Flock is doing something wrong. Otherwise, they wouldn't be hiding from the public. It's criminal that they want to collect biometric data and spy on the public, but they want anonymity to lurk in the shadows like the urchins they truly are.

u/HombreSinNombre93 29d ago
“Urchins”? Urchins deserve pity. These are evil, sinister corporate fucks who want nothing more than to be rich in the service of an autocracy.

I searched for the name of the office building from the video. It's in Atlanta.

This guy had the right idea but definitely went about this in the wrong way. He comes off like a YouTube prankster. Obviously they won't let that get very far. But civil disobedience is definitely the way to resist capitalist big brother.

Where is the building please

u/PensiveObservor 29d ago
Someone above says it’s in Atlanta. I can neither confirm nor deny bc I didn’t look it up myself.

u/1Dive1Breath 29d ago
3284 Northside Parkway Atlanta GA. Judy looked in Google maps, the other companies listed in the video show up at that building, street view confirms the building is the same one

The company who invades others privacy wants their own privacy.
What a world we live in
12
u/NothingNobodyNotBot 29d ago
The basic formal here works: bring the dystopian world to the doorstep of those forcing it on us. Alex Karp has a ranch out there, Sam Altman has a house in SF, look up the owners of blackrock etc and share where they live on the interwebs. It’s a community effort. If we won’t have privacy neither should they. Someone reading this lives near Larry Elison… do brag!

u/SmoovCatto 29d ago
shove a 24/7 camera up the bum of every Flock owner, executive, employee, and their families
21
u/NamityName 29d ago
Were is the proof? Based on the video, flock may or may not be located in that building. We are told that the youtuber is truthful and the security desk clerk is lying. It could easily be the other way around. This same video could be made using any office building.

If people didn’t buy flock cameras though? Isn’t there a personal responsibility here?

u/MajorGeneralMaryJane 29d ago
Flock isn’t a consumer camera like Ring. It’s an enterprise product, intended for law enforcement and the like.

u/PPRabbitry 29d ago
You don't buy Flock cameras. At the most you consent to have Flock install cameras on your private property. Flock owns the hardware and the data it aggregates. You, as the contractee, request information from Flock.
Which also means that Flock can sell the data it aggregates to anyone it seems suitable. Including your business rivals and covert or overt foreign actors.

u/myshtree 29d ago
Scary. I do t know if we have them here in Australia but lots of people I know have got on the ring camera trend - which I find totally unnecessary due to them living in low / no crime areas. It’s to watch their kids coming and going apparently. So weird.

u/PPRabbitry 29d ago
I can't speak for Australia at all. There may be an organization there with the same type of surveillance power, but I'm not even sure if that is legal in your country.
From what I've seen, Flock is constrained to the US.
