"FLOCK" Surveillance

Don't you call a group of sheep a "flock"?

Have you heard about Flock AI Cameras? They’re everywhere. In fact, there are now nearly 100,000 of these creepy surveillance cameras in the United States alone. These cameras don’t just take your photo… these images are analyzed by AI to catalog your license plate, model, year and color of your vehicle, any bumper stickers, and much more. When you drive by one of these, you no longer need to have your phone on in order to notify the government of exactly where you are and where you are going. And don’t get me wrong, even if your phone is off, it’s tracking you. If it’s on, and you have your location services turned off, it’s still tracking you. Down to the meter. Only if you leave it at home, OR, if you must carry it, leave it off AND place it in a faraday bag, like those produced by Mission Darkness, do you have a chance of that evil thing not telling your masters exactly where you are every minute of the day.

But wait, even that won’t preserve your privacy anymore. Now AI-connected cameras are literally everywhere, and you cannot avoid them. Not only that, it is illegal, perhaps highly illegal in nearly every state to do anything that might defeat these cameras, such as IR-blocking covers that are otherwise clear, or spray paints that make them highly reflective, or perhaps accidentally, of course, leaving a bit of mud on your plate from your last off-road excursion that might confuse the AI.

So, your choices are to protest loudly and incessantly at your county commission meetings, or city council meetings, write letters saying that your privacy is being invaded by highly insecure systems, do something illegal, which we would NEVER advocate, or use the link below to view to locations of these cameras and plot alternate routes to avoid being snooped on by ever-increasingly intelligent AI systems run by evil people who may wish to subjugate you and take away all of your [remaining] freedoms.

Here’s the link to see the map, and you can zoom in on your area, see which way the cameras are pointed, and work out your alternate routes: https://banishbigbrother.com/flock-camera-map/

Other things you can do to preserve your privacy include using cash whenever possible, wear sunglasses and a hat that make facial recognition more difficult, never look up when you are in a store (that’s where the cameras are), and vary your routine. Use a VPN when you are online, ALWAYS. Never go out or walk your dog at the same time every day, alternate your routes, and stop shopping at places that have cameras on the registers that are filming you while you scan your groceries.

And put your damn phone in a faraday bag. Better yet, get rid of it.

“But what if I have an emergency?” you ask… Okay, get your ham radio license or a GMRS license. Yeah, you are identifying yourself when you are on the radio, but those things don’t spy on you and make a record of your location, then transmit it to an AI server farm which you probably also have in your community.

In case you haven’t noticed, the surveillance state is here. It’s not some nebulous thing in the future that they warned you about in 1984, or Enemy Of The State. Protect your privacy. Fight back. Make it as difficult for them to snoop on your private life as you possibly can.
