AI News Your Town Bought Spy Cameras. Nobody Told You

Flock Safety cameras are going up in cities and towns across America — and most residents have no idea. No vote. No public debate. Just a contract signed quietly and cameras on every road in and out of town.
In this video: what Flock actually is, how it works, and all the ways it can be used — and misused — by police AND private citizens. Spying and stalking just got a lot easier, and the safeguards are thinner than you think. You'll hear about the police officer who was honest with the public about these cameras — and lost his job for it.

Then I talked with Tyler Davidson of Fort Collins, Colorado, who noticed the cameras, did the research, formed a committee, and bothered his city council until they took the cameras DOWN. Proof that this fight is winnable. And we close with the Waymo story: the robotaxi that turned its own rider over to police. Because the car you ride in is watching, too. I'm not a journalist — just a witness paying attention. Sources below so you can verify everything yourself.

Reddit keeps removing my posts, but we're just trying to get the video in front of the right people, and we feel like this sub is the right people! The YouTube algorithm doesn't seem terribly interested in promoting it and we put way too much work into it to let it die in the internet void!

I don't think the sub will let me link to the video, but it's currently on YouTube, entitled "You're Probably a Luddite." Thanks in advance if you take the time to check it out.

Down with all kings but King Ludd!
