The Flock Cameras Problem Is Getting Worse

PDS Published 08/03/2026

• Flock Cameras Destroyed by People Who Think They’re Causing a Surveillance State

  There's not a ton that people in this country agree on left versus right. But something that we're seeing more and more people getting aligned on is fuck flock cameras. if you're someone that's, you know, maybe heard about it, but you don't know fully what a flock camera is. Here's the thing. There's a good chance that your movements have already been recorded by one because flock safety is this company that makes automatic license plate readers or Alpr is, which are AI powered cameras installed by police departments, cities, businesses, schools and neighborhoods all across the country. capture the make, model, color, license plate, numbers of the cars that pass by, and the date, the time, and the location of detection and you've got flock saying, hey, they're made help communities respond to crime and safety incidents by helping recover stolen vehicles, aiding police investigations, and just so much more. but then you've got just so many critics arguing that these are tools of just a surveillance state with, for example, the ACLU explaining if there are flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging and sharing your movements without a warrant. or because you had the situation where when one flock camera detects a vehicle, that information stored in flock system and can be searched by participating law enforcement agencies anywhere. right. Not just by officials in your town or even your state, but at any agency with a flock contract allowing this level of access it will flock, they're not the only company creating and deploying this kind of technology. They are by far the most prominent and well known. they capture 20 billion license plate reads per month across 6000 communities. you've got the ACLU estimating that between 80 to 100,000 of these cameras are installed in both urban and rural areas throughout the country. but also, I'll tell you that by the time that you're just even done watching this video, there might be 1 or 2 less in this country. and that's because of the rapid rate that you're seeing these things getting vandalized right. You're seeing things like over in Avon, Colorado, you're the police posting about felony criminal mischief after three cameras, including a flat camera, were knocked down and destroyed. the reason I bring up that one specifically is because on the post where they ask the community for any information they ended up getting 18,000 comments, but not from people that were like, hey, I want I want to help, but rather just from so many people who are expressing their frustration with FLoC surveillance and even people actively supporting the destruction. and then you seeing things like a guy in the Minneapolis area, he's gone viral for posting videos about how he's climbed up poles and taken down dozens of flock cameras in a state. he's even posted content teaching others how to do the same. then in California he had some thrown paint on him, others accused of straight up running them over with their cars. and it's all over in Florida. They've also been hit with spray paint in New York. They've been shot in half in New Mexico. A guy was accused of destroying multiple cameras and then replacing them with flags. and there, even after a judge said that you would issue an arrest warrant, he told a local news. You have plans to continue to take down these flock? Absolutely. No. Absolutely. They are clear and present. Threat to public you should understand this is just a small sampling of a nationwide trend, right? This is happening in tons of states. not everything is so destructive. Right. You have some just trying to raise awareness that these cameras exist at all. so you've got people like in Florida, there's a 77 year old man who camps out in front of these cameras in a lawn chair while holding up a big sign to block the lens and protest. and also to highlight how widespread vlog tools are, many have turned to a site called diff lock. right. And it has this interactive map tracking all kinds of automatic license plate readers. the site's creator telling The Wall Street Journal that overall, I don't think the government should know where we are all the time. we have the CEO flock saying that he does respect some criticisms of the company. Here's also what he said about this effort to just tell people where these cameras are. unfortunately, there's terroristic organizations like De Flock, whose primary motivation is chaos. They are closer to Antifa than they are anything else. And that, I think, is unfortunate because we don't want chaos or I don't want chaos. I like law and order. essentially, if you're not on board using this site, you made the site that's terrorism, organized terrorism. and while he has since apologized one a lot of people don't believe in, but also too many believe that this response in general, it just highlights the problem here. in some ways, the backlash against black is working cities, towns and counties across the country. They have been holding these tense town halls where you have residents objecting to their taxpayer funds or other public grants being spent on these cameras. and sometimes it works around 55 localities. The end of their contracts with lock in the past year. And one of the things is that concerns about these cameras, they go way beyond just how free it is that they capture and store our cars movements. are you at 404 media doing this report alleging that they can be used to track individual people, not just vehicles, right. And claiming that police departments have used these cameras for this purpose hundreds of times, using searches like heavyset male with black and white hat or person on skateboard. and their article explaining these are called free form searches and allow cops to use flock system as though they would use a search engine with flocks, AI and image recognition. Interpreting what footage and which people are relevant to a police officer search. and these searches, they'll go across dozens or even hundreds of networks of cameras at once, and they're often vague enough that they end up pulling images of unrelated, innocent people. now for their part, you would flock publishing a blog post earlier this year saying that it's not a mass surveillance tool, insisting that, quote, flock Alpr is do not and cannot track vehicles, much less individual people. they also told 400 or that these free form searches are not facial recognition and that their products do not have or use any facial recognition technology. we've got people doubting that whether it be now or what they do in the future, many also think that they don't need facial recognition tech to be alarming. Right. You have people like a senior policy analyst from the ACLU saying much of the world hasn't quite caught up yet to how much more powerful a surveillance camera is today compared to a few years ago. AI video analytics means that giant oceans of video data can now be searched the same way. Big text files can be, including for sensitive content such as T-shirts, tattoos, and bumper stickers. Even without face recognition, that's a significant increase in surveillance capability. right. You also had a policy council, the center for Democracy and Technology, saying these cameras, they're like a bait and switch. right. It's like being told that you're getting a smoke detector and then later learning that it also records all your conversations. understand flux cameras are already being abused by some of the police officers who use them for personal searches like stalking, access. Newsweek alone found examples in 12 states where officers had been accused of misusing these cams it's happened multiple times just here in Georgia, where some officers have been charged with violating their oath. they're not alone. In Alabama, some officers have been fired or resigned for improperly using the cameras. In Milwaukee, an officer was sentenced to 12 months probation after using flock to track his ex-girlfriend and her new partner. Apparently searching for her over 120 times. And the system many also have issues with a lack of transparency for what exactly these cameras could be used for. Are you the Electronic Frontier Foundation saying it? There was this one case in Texas where deputies said that they were searching for a woman as a missing person, when in reality they were using data on her as a part of an abortion investigation. there are then also reports that Ice are using these cameras for immigration enforcement. And in California, police allegedly illegally share data from automatic license plate readers with Ice and Border Patrol. then you also have just tons of these situations where these cameras fuck up and they misread plates and they cause confusion or even lead police to investigate the wrong person. you had Business insider reporting. There was one town in California where flocks machine learning software misread license plates in 71% of the alerts that it sent to officers. you had an employee that failed 71% of the time, you would fire them. That's not an employee. That is a raccoon that somehow got into the building. so some of the things you would see was like in one case, you would repeatedly confuse a nine on a plate for an eight, falsely identifying a man's car is stolen. you also had CNN reporting on a case where a car reviewer in Minnesota was test driving a Range Rover, when all of a sudden officers swarmed his car because it was reported as stolen, even though it was owned by Land Rover North America. but it then got mixed up with a car in Los Angeles with a similar plate that have been reported missing. according to the ACLU, 1 in 10 license plate scans from flock, they misread the state. And under 1% of the car scanned or connected to any crime or wrongdoing. and so it ends up really not being too surprising that as more people learn about what's happening here, there's just kind of this united hatred, no matter your political party. you just had the likes. And if you're Ramon, the the left wing mayoral candidate in Los Angeles saying that the city should cut ties with FLoC, arguing surveillance without oversight does not create public safety, saying it tracks innocent people, enables abuse, and puts Angelenos in danger. then all the way on the other side of the aisle, you had Tucker Carlson devoting a whole episode of his show to this. and, well, they didn't defend people who were vandalizing the cameras, he did say, there are videos, in other words, of people who don't feel they have any other recourse whatsoever, making one last ditch attempt to preserve the one thing that makes them free in this or any other country. Their birthrate, by the way. And it's called privacy. They don't have it. They'd like it back. They think the Constitution guarantees it to them. Their lawmakers don't care. Their leaders don't care. Their police departments don't care. They don't think it's to make them safer. They understand that it's to strip them of their most basic humanity, which it so with what seems to be at least some degree of a united sentiment. There do appear to be efforts in Congress to crack down on these cameras. and so, for example, you had Representative Thomas Massie promising to sponsor a bill that would withhold federal money for municipalities and police departments to deploy flock and other style cameras to surveil law abiding citizens. because again, a lot of the outrage here. Yes, it's around that. It's happening in the first place, but also because public funds are grants and gifts given to cities are being used to pay for these. In a lot of cases. even though the people that the money is meant to benefit do not always want these cameras, watching and echoing that you had Massey telling the Cincinnati Enquirer, I do not think the federal government should be subsidizing the safety of cities who decided to go beyond the pale and basically turn their communities into a version of 1984. thing as the Constitution requires, you have to have probable cause and reasonable suspicion to spy on people. You can't just spy on everybody. and adding that the security provided by those cameras does not justify the privacy it strips away, arguing you can solve every crime if you put tags in us and track this everywhere and made us all wear body cameras, but at what cost? but with all that said, I then gotta turn it to you. What are your thoughts here? What's your opinion? What's your reaction whether, you know, this is how you're first learning about these cameras, if you've been a long time blockade or even if you land somewhere else.

• Rep. Max Miller Refuses to Drop Reelection Bid Amid Domestic Abuse Allegations

  But then dive in. Right back into the news. We've got to talk about this insane Max Miller situation. he's a second term Republican representative who got big quickly, mostly because of his close relationship with Donald and it was kind of this foregone conclusion that he was going to win his reelection against Democrat candidate Bryan Poindexter, because the seat and district. It's really firmly read. Then you had this dispute with Miller's ex-wife, Emily Moreno, gaining more and more Because you have Emily accusing Miller of abusing both her and their two year old daughter, specifically saying that he threw scalding hot water from a skillet and Emily held a gun to her head, shoved her up against the wall, and Emily says that he even fractured their daughter's collarbone and bruised her but Miller. He's publicly denied all this and gone on the offensive, calling Emily mentally ill, a liar and a stalker who has put both him and his daughter in also in court. He's accused her of making repeated false reports to Child Protective Services, medical professionals and law You have him saying that she has untreated bipolar disorder and that she's stalking him and trying to damage his reputation. as far as her daughter, Miller says that her broken collarbone was actually Emily's fault, caused by her reckless so with all that, Miller sued both Emily and her legal team for defamation. And you had a campaign spokesperson facts speak for themselves. The court has continued to permit him joint custody of his child. Congressman Miller will continue to vigorously defend his reputation against false and reckless allegations designed to inflame public opinion rather than reflect reality. and while all of this is largely playing out in the court and the headlines, you have Emily staying out of the public eye for the most part. Her father, Republican Senator Bernie Moreno, has so over the weekend, you saw him taking to Twitter to say that Miller shouldn't be allowed to serve in the US House, as he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological saying he is a danger to my daughter and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter. if there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he then as far as the Trump of it. All right now, it's at least not looking like Trump is going to swoop in to save the no matter how tight he was with Miller at one point, with sources telling The New York Times that Trump's inner circle is pretty pissed with the way that Miller is handling the with many viewing this as a disaster of his own making and his own mess to clean up himself. and then with that, you're saying that a lot of Republicans are kind of staying either lukewarm or just silent on this issue any of that standing out on its own. But it's also worth pointing out, because Republicans were very loud in their criticism of Democrats Eric Swalwell and Graham Plattner when allegations against them came So it puts a different sheen on situations like House speaker Mike Johnson being asked why Miller and Cory Mills from Florida, they're still allowed in the Republican Conference after they had domestic abuse allegations made against right, especially as you have where Democrats dump Plattner. as far as Johnson, he said that the key word in the situation is allegations. And he have a process here. I'm not in the business of commenting on investigations as they're in process, and we'll see how that shakes and that ends up also being similar to what Trump himself I going to look at it. I mean, so far it's accusations. I'll be looking at that's as you also have people like Representative Jim Jordan saying things like I know Max is a good man. I was up campaigning for him. I hope he wins reelection. He's done a good job as a member of Congress, and we should all pray for his family. These are difficult times that they're going through. We understand that these kind of situations always are. what you've seen there is that even within the Republican Party, some people kind of pissed at the response from prominent of course, a very big thing that we've seen over the especially these last ten years is who is publicly associating their name with some sort of critique and who says it anonymously so. With that in mind, you had one anonymous GOP operative telling Politico What happens when Democrats run ad after ad targeting GOP voters about Miller abusing the daughter of a pro-Trump MAGA senator? does that do to GOP turnout? How does that affect our candidates at the top of the ticket who are already in tough it ends up being a valid concern here, because right now, Miller is reportedly still polling, but only just one percentage point ahead of Poindexter. right. This is a district that Trump won by double digits in 2024. so that's led to a lot of optimism from Democrats about actually being able to flip this seat but things could still change because Miller still has until August 5th to drop though I will say it doesn't look like that is the situation you're going to because you had Miller going live on Twitter yesterday to deny everything, redirecting it. Emily, as well as saying that he plans on keeping on with his reelection campaign. every single one of these allegations were already investigated. And I cooperated fully every single time because I had nothing to hide and I have nothing to hide. Now this election is just more about winning a seat in November for the Republican Party. This election, to me, is about my family and about our daughter, and keeping our values here and holding the media and other individuals accountable who have been incredibly reckless. I'm not getting out of this race and I'm winning in November, and I'll be back in the 120th. then with all this as far as Poindexter stake on all he said if all the allegations against Congressman Miller proved to be true, Max Miller should be in jail, not worried about retaining a seat in that was also echoed by the Democratic Women's Caucus, who called for an investigation by the House Ethics Committee and said that Congress cannot sweep this under the but for now, we're going to have to wait to see if that's true and how this whole situation plays but then also while you've got news like Miller fighting to stay in the public eye despite the backlash against him, you then have other news, like Ariana Grande actually taking a step back from public life. Right.

• Ariana Grande Taking Break After Tour After Ongoing “Public Scrutiny”

  That's reignited this debate, connected to, of course, people, you know, they've been commenting on Ariana Grande, his body for years now. right. Well, she was promoting the wicked movies when her tour started earlier this year. Both healthily and happily, and then taking a much deserved break from public facing work and appearances, which has led to endless ongoing public scrutiny. store has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much. and then with that, she's also pulling out of a West End revival of Sunday in the Park with George, which was a highly anticipated production that many thought would further her theater career. and where team they didn't go into specifics or, you know, talk about with the public scrutiny impacting her is everyone has kind of collectively filled in the blank. and so that is kind of what a big chunk of the conversation has been about her online, which is also kind of wild because her new album, petal actually just came out on Friday. The music video for the title track also came out to. And with that you would some expressing genuine concern and other harsh criticism over awaiting it. with, for example, BuzzFeed putting out a piece claiming the shots in the video appear deliberately composed to draw attention to and emphasize her thinness in a way that can be reasonably viewed as glamorizing it. it wasn't a lot of people reading into the premise of the video. It shows Ariana in an old Hollywood casting call, continuously changing or image as a panel of men in suits reject or over and over. right. In some scenes they cite her appearance and she needs work done or need to lose a few pounds. And at one point they tell her they miss the old version of her and ask if she has a personality disorder. it then ends with her attacking these men with a chainsaw, which kind of fits with other themes in the album, exploring anger with the press, the media, and maybe even her fans. and dealing with that. You had comments on the video popping up saying things like, it's not about wanting the old Ariana back, it's about wanting her to be healthy, and saying I genuinely wish her well, and as praying her close friends and family are being there for her. Of course, we only know what we see, but it is sad nonetheless. and then of course, there are also comments that are less sympathetic, ones that are more making this a spectacle and scandal out of it. which is then where you have a lot of this story getting complicated for people because there is a very, very, I will say, fine line between concern and compassion versus cruelty and condemnation. do you have some writing things like, the truth is, we don't know what's going on with Ariana. That's her personal business. But we can and need to comment on this as it relates to the image of a pop star that young girls are going to see and try to emulate. but then also you're seeing things like one clinical psychologist writing a piece for the conversation, explaining many people will defend comments about a celebrity's appearance by saying they're simply expressing concern. you then have them arguing concern doesn't require thousands of strangers discussing someone's body online saying public speculation can become deeply personal, intrusive and impossible to escape. arguing research shows stigma surrounding eating disorders remains a major barrier to seeking help. Many people delay treatment because of shame, fear of judgment and misconceptions about what an eating disorder looks like. So public conversations that repeatedly evaluate people's bodies may inadvertently reinforce exactly the problems we hope to prevent. then interestingly, you add another psychiatrist telling you as a today that when it comes to these kinds of discussions where the person at the center is just so visible that the best thing to do is to not talk about them directly, but talk about the issue at large. instead of asking whether a specific person looks too thin, we can talk about the broader patterns. We're seeing, the rapid rise in the visibility of medications like GLP ones, and the messages they send when used outside of current clinical guidelines. saying when the focus is on individual bodies, even with good intentions, it can quickly become toxic and harmful. But again, it ends up being tricky for a lot of people because in publishing these pieces, the people behind them are still, in fact, in some way talking about Ariana Grande. and then it's also worth noting that while many articles exploring how they should be discussed naturally bring up eating disorders, there is no public knowledge about what Ariana is or is not suffering from. And I'm not bringing that up to suggest that she is. But it has become a part of this very sensitive conversation. But ultimately, that's where we are. And, you know, I do end up having to pass question off to you of what? What are your thoughts on this? I feel like this topic comes up at least once or twice a year. right, whether it be with Ariana Grande specifically or kind of whoever one of the stars is at the time. Repeat them from that for your final block. As I like to try to do on this show, we've got more news.

• Todd Blanche Rescinds Anti-Weaponization Fund Ahead of Confirmation Vote

  You need to know that I'm going to try and cram in before you First up you've got Trump so-called anti weaponization fund now dead and gone. At least for now though that's also not even the end of the Todd Blanch announcing this formal order yesterday just in time for his confirmation tomorrow, the fund is not operative. No funds were transferred. No process for receiving claims was established. No claims were this order establishes beyond any doubt that there is no Because while Blanch said back in June that they were letting it go after all the backlash they got from people on both sides of the would send it. Republicans John Cornyn and Tom Tillis saying, hey, we want that in writing. And so they put his confirmation on hold last that might have been a smart play because Trump, he was apparently still holding on. Hope to keep even this week. You had him claiming that if Cornyn and Tillis kept blocking Blanche's confirmation, he'd just keep him on as acting AG and keep pushing to get the fund saying it will immediately be back on the table and I will get it but then to that. Utilizing President Trump clearly intends to resurrect the payout pot for punks, which I guess is his word for January 6th rioters saying it's unfortunate that Todd Blanco, I consider qualified for the job will not be confirmed because of this reversal. Hopefully we can resolve this by and so it looks like yesterday's order cleared things up there. You also had Cornyn and Tillis having concerns about Trump's tax immunity with the IRS. they wanted to make sure that it wasn't some get out of jail free card that he could use for any tax investigations in the and so Blanche through in a blurb in the order to clear that up as but that is just for the future, right? This keeps up the part of the deal that's saving Trump something like $600 million. which apparently that part all well and good with Cornyn and Tillis, who made a joint statement this morning saying that their concerns had been And so it looks like confirmations But that said another news.

• Trump Slams Pirro for Dropping Charges Against Former Olympian David Hearn

  It might not be all good news for Trump's record. You now have a firing at Jeanine Pirro, of all people, for saying what we've all been the issue with the reflecting pool isn't random vandals with box just a botched renovation you have her office dropping the charges against former Olympian David Hurn, who they said damage the pool earlier this and actually now you have them saying that the damage is because contractors rush to get the job done in time for the 250 celebration events that were going on in D.C. last with Pirro saying, given all this newly discovered information, it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the reflecting pool to you even had her turning it on the Interior Department saying they gave less than fulsome information about the case from the adding if they were forthcoming with the information clearly in their possession, the government would not have sought a grand jury this is just such an interesting turn of events coming from someone who said that she had tremendous evidence when she announced the case in the first but then as far as Trump, he crashed out on truth saying I disagree with 100% with Jeanine Pirro. It was a pure case of vandalism. All caps. may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by vandals with me even posing a video of people at the pool saying look for yourselves. The material is being cut with a knife or a box cutter for all to see. you've had most people saying, we really can't see what's going on it doesn't really seem that that helped his point at but then with all that, you've got people turning to the contractors and government officials involved saying they deserve to be investigated for lying to a federal grand jury about all this and others even saying that everyone involved should go to and so now you also have people wondering if this could be the end of the road for Right. Because you've seen what happens when Trump's minions let him but for now, it looks like that is yet to be determined. and personally, all I got to say is, wow, this is definitely the first case of Trump working with contractors that did not end well.

• Hackers Manage to Steal $100 Million From "Safe" Bitcoin Wallets

  Then in other news, you're currently watching one of the worst crypto disasters in recent memory unfold in real time, and it is targeting the one group of people who actually did everything because hackers have managed to breach cold card and drain almost $100 million from over 1200 Bitcoin addresses in about 41 minutes. this is a just massive deal because Cold card was supposed to be the gold standard offline hard wallet. And so now you have people wanting Right. Because a hack of this magnitude, it raises a lot of questions. I mean, this is an offline meaning it is not connected to the internet at all. And therefore it's supposed to be extremely how did the hackers manage to get the keys from these wallets and well a security advisory from block reveal that there was a massive coding mistake in certain cold card firmware so this made it so that the wallets generated recovery phrases were predictable. And so the attackers didn't need physical access to your device that literally mapped out the keys and emptied the vaults remotely. the real salt in the wound for people who use coin kites, updating your firmware, or moving the bitcoin to another wallet will not save your funds. If your seed phrase was created on affected weakness stays attached to that recovery or you can think of it like a password. Updating your computer won't matter if hackers still know your you've got users being urged to make a brand new recovery phrase after updating or risk all your while you had coin CEO Rodolfo Novak issuing a public apology, saying he's devastated and taking full accountability. It is not as full as a lot of users would because in his statement, you had him saying that the company would release a full technical report over how this happened and help users to pursue police reports, insurance claims or their own investigations. but getting your money back from the people you trusted. Apparently that's a bridge too then also notably, they blamed AI, claiming the AI assisted code review can find bugs and code that would take humans forever to figure they're not alone.

• New York Sues Kalshi, Accusing It of "Running an Illegal Gambling Operation"

  Then last up in the news today, New York just found a $36 billion lawsuit against Kelsey because New York AG Letitia James said that they're running an illegal gambling operation. in that 36 billion, that's how much you have are claiming that they've made from sports gambling times three, a $100,000 fine for each time they offered it without a license, plus restitution for people who've place bets on the the now you have couches speaking out, saying it's sad to see this type of political theater from the leadership in our own saying states can't just shut down a federally licensed exchange. We love New York. We love New Yorkers, and New Yorkers love our But truthfully, what you're saying is that New York is just the latest in all of their legal battles across the because you got this tug of war going on with in the middle, where states are saying that the federal government is stepping on their rights with prediction market and it does appear ironic because, as reports have noted, that the federal government originally wanted to prevent states from offering sports betting, which the Supreme Court said was overreaching. and now they could be overreaching by allowing you've got people from federal agencies like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission rather than seek reasoned answers from the courts, Letitia James in New York seek to force an unprecedented sudden shutdown of prediction markets nationwide. CFTC has already sued to stop this and will continue to defend its jurisdiction. but then you also have a ton of people rooting for states like New York saying this lawsuit is important and necessary action to uphold the rule of law, protect consumers, and defend the nearly 70,000 New York jobs supported by the legal gaming and so what you should expect is that this is probably all going to land with the Supreme Court sooner or and well. That, my friend, you beautiful bastard, is the end of your Monday show. I got two things to end And that is one. If you want to snag this emotionally exhausted shirt which we just dropped, you can go to Beautiful Bastard. and two. I also put out a bonus deep dive video this morning on this whole Nvidia scandal. That's really fascinating in my and so. I'll include links. You can click or tap and the usual spaces on screen in the description. But with all that A name is Philip DeFranco. You've just been filled in. I love your faces. And I'll see you right back here tomorrow.
