You're Being Tracked... And You Don't Even Know It

There are cameras in your neighborhood right now logging your license plate, your vehicle description, and every trip you take without your knowledge, without your consent, and without a warrant. Most people have no idea they exist. The company behind it is quietly building one of the largest surveillance networks in American history. Over twenty billion vehicle scans every single month. Forty-nine states. Five thousand communities. Contracts with more than four thousand five hundred law enforcement agencies.

If cameras exist near your home and at the stores you shop at, the system knows when you left, where you went, how long you stayed, and when you came home, every single day. But the pushback is growing. More than seventy cities have canceled or rejected Flock contracts this year alone, including the LAPD which is the largest police department to walk away so far. For those of us who care about self-sufficiency and resilience, understanding what systems are being built around us without our knowledge or consent is part of the same mindset that drives everything else we do on this channel.
