Blogger Comment: The majority of people do not realise that this is all part of the Globalist plan the 2030 Agenda to have surveillance 24/7/365 over the people and it is not for your benefit in reality either, but for those who wish you harm…for this control over the people has now been going on since1971 at least when the WEF in Davos was founded by the richest and most powerful elites on the planet to eventually control western civilization when the Globalists have completed their One World Government to oversee humanity by 2030 (a mere three years from now and where they have created their master plan with all sorts of global catastrophes so that you succumbs to their control over the people…for they have stated this in Davos many times since the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) inception some 55 years ago…

American cities are abandoning Flock Safety’s AI-powered surveillance cameras at a rapidly accelerating pace as concerns grow over privacy, government surveillance, and the potential abuse of a nationwide network capable of tracking motorists.
An average of three local governments per day terminated their Flock contracts through August, according to research from California-based advocacy organization Secure Justice.
Since 2021, 214 cities and counties have ended their agreements with the surveillance company.
Ninety of those cancellations occurred in August alone.
That represents a fourfold increase from July.
The mounting backlash comes as prominent Republicans, including Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, raise alarms about the technology and its potential for abuse.
Hawley Launches Investigation Into Flock
Flock’s automated license plate readers photograph vehicles and allow authorities to search information collected through networks of connected cameras.
As those networks have expanded, so has scrutiny over who can access the information, how long it is retained, and how it can be used.
Hawley announced last week that he is “investigating Flock Safety’s collection, retention, and dissemination of the data generated by its artificial intelligence surveillance cameras.”
DeSantis also sounded the alarm after two Florida police officers were arrested for allegedly misusing the system.
The Republican governor said Flock’s cameras had become “out of control” in Florida.
“When I see, like, a police officer using this to track, like, an ex-girlfriend, I’m like, you know what the hell’s going on?” DeSantis said.
The controversy underscores one of the central concerns surrounding mass surveillance technology: Systems introduced as tools for catching criminals can also provide government employees with extraordinary capabilities to track ordinary Americans.
AI makes those capabilities significantly more powerful.
Critics Warn of ‘Mass Surveillance Dragnet’
Jake Laperruque, deputy director of the Center for Democracy and Technology’s Security and Surveillance Project, warned that artificial intelligence is transforming traditional license plate readers into something far more expansive.
“Maybe in the past it didn’t feel like every red light cam really meant a pair of eyes was watching you, but with AI, that’s increasingly becoming the reality,” Laperruque said.
“And we’re already seeing how AI can morph ALPRs [automated license plate readers] into a mass surveillance dragnet.”
Laperruque pointed to systems that allow cameras to be searched using keywords and descriptions, the incorporation of real-time facial recognition into municipal camera networks, and Border Patrol’s use of AI to analyze license-plate data for driving patterns.
He said motorists can potentially be stopped after AI systems determine that their behavior is “suspicious.”
The rapid expansion of such capabilities has fueled questions about how far government surveillance should extend when Americans have not been accused of committing any crime.
Flock Pushes Back as Cities Walk Away
Flock maintains that the wave of cancellations does not reflect the company’s broader growth.
“So far in 2026, new city partnerships have outpaced nonrenewals by approximately 10 to one,” company spokesperson Courtney Terlecki said.
“That does not mean every community will make the same decision, and we understand that public safety technology deserves thoughtful public discussion and community engagement.”
The company has also changed its data-retention policies amid the growing scrutiny.
Flock says its terms prohibit customers from using its technology to “mislead, harass, stalk, or otherwise impose upon or violate the legal rights of another person.”
But those safeguards have not stopped communities from reconsidering whether the technology should be deployed in the first place.
The issue is increasingly cutting across traditional political lines, with civil-liberties advocates joining conservatives concerned about government overreach in questioning whether a vast network capable of recording and analyzing Americans’ movements has gone too far.
With 90 local governments walking away from Flock in a single month, four times July’s total, that debate is no longer theoretical.
Cities across America are beginning to decide that the surveillance cameras simply are not worth the risk.
