There’s a LOT More Than Just Flock

Jason Bassler@JasonBassler1Everyone knows about flock cameras, but they're not the only company scanning license plates. At least 7 other companies are scanning your plates every day. Genetec is #2. Motorola is #3. It’s not one company. It’s an ecosystem. The surveillance cartel is more than one brand.

AMWakeUp@AMwakeupWe've been discussing this on the show for the last several weeks. We showed video of different LPR cameras pointed directly at the entrance/exit of sporting goods stores that sell firearms/ammo. Any of y'all wear a license plate on your shirt? Anyone else sick of surveillance?

AXON Lightpost

Jason Bassler@JasonBassler1Flock isn't the only concern. Ever heard of the 'Axon Lightpost?' It’s a networked surveillance node with microphones, cameras, and real‑time feeds. Flock tracks plates, Axon LP tracks everything around them. 2 companies, 1 goal... The normalization of total surveillance.

That’s not “fighting crime.” That’s blanket surveillance.
https://x.com/JasonBassler1/status/2069103578640425056?s=20
Jason Bassler@JasonBassler1Flock: “Our cameras only track vehicles involved in crimes.” Me: Then why do we have photos of your cameras aimed at Kids’ gymnastics rooms, schools… and now a bike path? That’s not "fighting crime." That’s blanket surveillance.

Jason Bassler@JasonBassler1If Flock is all about transparency, why do they hide: -Total camera count -Failure & false-read rates -Who they share data with -Where cameras are placed -How long your data is stored -Who has access to your data -Wrongful stops, searches, or arrests tied to Flock Real5:33 PM · Mar 23, 2026 · 23.2K Views47 Replies · 590 Reposts · 1.8K Likes
Flock Lied About Federal Contracts
https://x.com/JasonBassler1/status/1975732123366465602?s=20
Jason Bassler@JasonBassler1Remember when @Flock swore for months it had no federal contracts? Then journalists made them admit they were quietly running a ‘pilot program’ for CBP—with access to local police data. Gaslight first, disclose later. 🚩🚩 Public deception is just part of their business model.

Amazon tried to link Ring to Flock in the Fall of 2025 - it failed and was removed by Ring by February
https://x.com/JasonBassler1/status/1979587088921297050?s=20
Jason Bassler@JasonBassler1If you thought Ring implementing facial recognition was bad, they've just partnered with Flock cameras. Law enforcement can now request footage from your neighbors, turning private cameras into a network of digital informants that normalizes mass surveillance in your community.

There’s been a WAVE of People Cutting Down and Disabling Cameras - Don’t Use a Green Laser, be very careful because people can be tracked right back to their homes.
Citizens Are Fighting in Town Councils and State Legislatures - there is a massive fight happening in municipalities all over the country. Flock is fighting back.
Who Owns Flock? Peter Thiel’s buddies. But hotice how every listing goes out of its way to say that he doesn’t own or control Flock. Founders Fund IS invested, however.
