Every news article about Flock cameras seems deliberately incorrect. They are not LPR cameras, they are full-on video security cameras, combined with server-based AI to search for/recognize objects, people, animals, activities, etc. They do not just store vehicle and/or license plate information.
The latest ones are also fingerprinting Bluetooth and other wireless devices as they walk/drive by. So it can actually attach a device to a face in the right circumstances.
Fun fact, if you do this with bank deposits in an amount just below an IRS reporting threshold it immediately flags your account.
That’s for dumb citizens not mighty police departments.
You have to be at least $2.00 under.
Ask me how I know
It’s happening all over the country. Same playbook. Give each PD/municipality bespoke contracts so they avoid town council approval. Flocks are being installed without the town council even knowing about it in some cases.
Thankfully some places do listen to public pushback. Our police department canceled its contract with flock
Except in a lot of THOSE cases, Flock doesn’t even remove their own hardware, just the PD/local govt access to the data.
They had yet to put the cameras in, in our case. So the cameras will never be installed
Every city council is corrupt, that’s what I’ve learned from Flock
This should put him under immediate leave and review/audit, because this surely isn’t the first time. Doesn’t get his job back, if at all, until everything he pulled this shit with goes through the proper approval processes he bypassed, resulting in approval. Otherwise he’s out. Next time he does this he’s just out, even if he somehow “won” the deep review and audit of his entire career.
He is pretty newly elected.
Churn and burn, baby

At first I thought this was a cd-rom then I realized it was a cutoff wheel.
You can try to put it in a CD player but would likely get marginally better results if you put it in a record player.
Get a hole saw and some plywood and you can make your own center plug dongle for your cutoff wheel.
