..."This must be why we have a crime free America"...'bout time someone recognized that. Come the next great lockdown, these things will be used to control the streets and neighborhoods.

FOR SURE. I saw the man protesting in St Petersburg. I was there but now aware of the Flock cameras until I got back. I saw them but did not know what I was looking at until I got back.

I am totally opposed to Flock cameras and the excuse of "SAVING THE CHILDREN" is not acceptable. Mass surveillance of license plates is the NORM in FLORIDA. I would think that DeSantis administration would not be for this: according to news reports it is supported by his administration. I did notice that ST PETE's and the Gulfport side of Florida is run by the Democrats.. I get why locals police would want it. REGARDLESS.. MONITORING OF LICENSE PLATES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. NOT ACCEPTABLE and for sure "like you said":Flock cameras are AI-powered, solar-powered Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs). The cameras take a snapshot and create a digital fingerprint. The cameras read license plates and identify the registered state and create a vehicle fingerprint by identifying the vehicles color, make, model, and body type, even retaining specific details such as roof cracks, bumper stickers, dents, trailers, or scratches. It also retains metadata such as the exact timestamp, direction of travel, and location. SO A.I POWERED.. not a fan.. until proven to work.. and Solar powered in Florida is Ok. the small units but still are not good for the environment when disposed of.. I know I used to have a Solar roof in the 80s. I could write more but Florida in general is the most "surveilled place" I have ever been in since I was in LONDON many years ago. IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF IT.

It's in their best interest to manufacture a higher crime rate to garner support for such measures, called: manufacturing consent. It is absolutely not about reducing crime, it's absolutely all about installing a surveillance grid.

I couldn't agree more. My friend is running for Hawaii State House Representative against a radical "progressive". She is going to have MEDICAL FREEDOM, and FLOCK CAMERAS be her platform. You can donate to her campaign at: https://www.sheilawalkermaui.com/

Both parties look away, because it benefits them both regardless who is running the "Big Show". And a "Big Show" is all it is, as both parties are designed to keep us divided. Linking as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Excellent article. Very insightful. Surveillance Police State TYRANNY, is the only kind of psychopathic dictatorship that can enable targeting program. And torture citizens at home 24/7 in a home that has stopped being a sanctuary. Psychopthic neighbors as agents of destruction, recruited by these criminals is a reflection of a society with sick minds unto death. And empty apartments rented by them to torture and harm Life, is indeed height of Treason. I wrote this comment because perpetrators read my every public comment.

In the UK some tired of surveillance kams are putting bat house over kams with signage saying it is illegal to remove bat houses as they are protected.

"The cameras are not being deployed to catch criminals. The cameras are being deployed to criminalize citizenship." Or to intimidate. It seems.

How about secret oaths? Group secrecy enforced with secret oaths is aimed at deceiving us. Secret societies should be abolished. Hitler was right about this.

Funny, but secret societies have hand signs. The one I think you may be talking about calls it "the hidden hand". And the little corporal you mentioned liked to stick his thumb in his belt - one of the signals of being a member - perhaps a "secret member" the others didn't know about.

Hitler chased the Freemasons out of Germany and occupied Europe. Not sure which secret society Hitler might have been a member of. But it likely did not have a certain Talmudian leadership.

When I was growing up our parents used to tell us to mind our own business and don’t put your business out in the street.

Now we can’t even do that anymore because they are doing it for us !!!

You are spot-on. And which country in the Middle East ran the world's biggest open-air prison? The one that has effectively merged with our own military and institutions? The one that exhibits all the psychopathy you listed? And the one we are not even allowed to criticize? That would be the one American has been "blessing" since 1948, yet by nearly every measure America is worse off for doing so. This is the logical consequence of America's foreign entanglement with people who are completely at odds with the culture of individual liberty and Christian morality.
