The War on Flock Cameras
from Banish Big Brother Hosted by Zach Varnell, Elizabeth Melton
Zach and Elizabeth dig into the wave of Americans cutting down, vandalizing, and outright destroying flock cameras across the country, from an Air Force engineer facing charges to a man who replaced a downed cameras with American flags. They break down why jury nullification could matter for anyone charged in these cases, and cover a genuine legal win: a Supreme Court ruling on geofence warrants that could shape the future of mass surveillance challenges. From there it's Flock's ongoing PR crisis (including a slogan change nobody was supposed to notice), a look at Geneva County, Alabama's new permit requirements, and one man's discovery that many camera installations are breaking basic road safety code. They close out with a look at ALPR.WTF, a new tool for mapping these cameras nationwide, and a discussion of whether AI and robots are already positioned to replace police officers altogether.
