Flock ALPR Cameras

City governments across the country have suspended use of Flock Safety cameras over concerns of data being used for immigration enforcement. Ohio city workers are covering automated license plate readers with trash bags as officials sound the alarm on ‘egregious violations’ of privacy | Fortune

More concern for illegals than for their own citizens.

What needs to happen is you get the same make/model/color car as the city council members and make a fake license plate with their number on it. Drive it to a known drug dealer's neighborhood repeatedly so the algorithm kicks out a pattern for the officer to check into. See if the cops knock on their door and question them. Make them feel what surveillance feels like. :devilish:
 
I have been using temu a lot lately, been disappointed on several occasions. Also I’ve had a few orders held up for some reason and arrive late. They do give me $5 credit which encourages my addiction. Another thing I’ve noticed is that some items are exactly the same as on Amazon.
I've bought a bunch of holster gear (and other shit) from TEMU over the years (not lately). I had quality/fit issues with a few items, notified them, they said "sorry, here is your refund, recycle the product". :) Then I got out the grinder/heat gun and customized the defective holster so it would work.

They have QLS knockoffs for less than $10--I've probably bought a half-dozen or so. I don't have an actual Safariland to compare to, but the ones I get are excellent in fit, finish and function. Different guns have different holsters so I just snap the new holster into the belt (also from TEMU ~$10).

PS: the second pic shows me modding one of the TEMU holsters and you can see the QLS male section with an adapter plate I made. The holster was a Blackhawk knockoff I can't remember if it was defective. I removed the retention lever and heated the top section to make room for the taller sights of the Dagger slide. That is a piece of slotted fuel line over the front sight and spacer. This is one of the holsters I use for competion--easy in, easy out.

I'm not really a fan of the cams or ANY cams for that matter. But in this day and age, EVERYBODY is snooping. You could go for a walk in the public woods with your GF/BF to get a little and not realize a game cam recorded all of the passion. :eek: Next thing you know, your sex tape gets more views than Paris Hilton's. ;)

What if your car gets stolen? Wouldn't you want to know what direction it is heading?

I have ZERO problem with ICE using FLOCK to apprehend Illegals. They shouldn't be driving, anyway... 😠
 
Guy goes to jail for a month because cops match car to Flock image. And they ignore other Flock camera images and cell data that prove he wasn't there.

There's got to be some way to defeat the image capture that's not illegal. :confused:

 
Still on the fence about that Faraday bag? :unsure:
Tell me again how this will only be used for Amber Alerts and finding stolen cars... 🙄

Turning Bluetooth off does not stop it from emitting a signal.

A surveillance company (Leonardo) is developing SignalTrace, an add‑on for ALPR cameras that:
  • Scans for Bluetooth device identifiers
  • Detects phones, AirPods, smartwatches, fitness trackers, vehicle infotainment Bluetooth IDs, etc.
  • Correlates those device IDs with specific license plates
  • Builds a pattern of which devices regularly travel with which vehicles (suggests that to "build a pattern" data might have to be collected over time, longer than the 30 day retention period Flock claims)
  • Allows law enforcement to identify drivers and passengers, not just cars

A surveillance company plans to add sensors to automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) that would mean the devices, as well as capture the license plate of passing vehicles, would also sweep up unique identifiers of mobile phones, wearables, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices in those cars, potentially letting law enforcement identify specific drivers or passengers.

The technology, called SignalTrace, would turn ALPR cameras from devices focused on tracking cars to ones that can more readily track the location of particular people. ALPR cameras have become a commonly deployed technology all across the U.S.; SignalTrace would make some of those cameras capable of collecting much more data.

Correlation with license plates

This is the big leap:
The system links device → person → car.
Traditional ALPRs track vehicles.
SignalTrace would track people.

That’s a fundamental change in surveillance capability.

It seems there is a growing practice of drivers flipping off the camera as they drive by. This guy even requested a copy of the image. :ROFLMAO:

One of those things that is good to know...

You can get a pole with an attachment that can accept spray cans for spraying wasp nest and other things that are out of reach. 🙄
Assuming it will also work with a can of black spray paint. ;)
