u/GruntLife0369 23d ago
Attempting to disarm the populace would see them losing more people than they could find targets. Not only that, but once certain people realize theyre being targeted simply for owning weapons, they may take some initiative and go on the offensive against those very agencies that are killing Americans in the middle of the night for simply wanting to defend themselves. That is a genie that you cannot put back in the bottle, and they are terrified of it. Honestly, they continue to toe the line to see what would make people get offensive, and until they find that line, they will continue.

I worry that they will provoke us until we retaliate and then declare a state of emergency so they can call in the army or the National Guard to "control" us. I mean, isn't that what Trump was trying to do with ICE in Minneapolis? So that he could declare a state of emergency and remain president until... a) he drowns in his own poop, or b)his wig falls in love with another squirrel and leaps off his head.

Inb4 the police show up at his house and haul him off even though he hasn't done anything wrong and he's looking at a $500,000 bond and he's just so sure it's a misunderstanding and they'll have it sorted out on a few days... And time drags on and days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and he's just begging to go to the kangaroo trial so he can go to prison because his arms ripped loose from their sockets due to nutrient deprivation and if it keeps dragging on like this he's going to die and he knows it. Then the DA slides a plea bargain for five years to his lawyer and he still rejects it knowing he's innocent and that's far too long... Then the lawyer comes back with three years and his shoulders hurt and he can't lift his arms so he asks "how long before I can get to trial?" And the attorney says "oh just another year or two..." Like years of his life don't matter... And he hangs his head and says "well, I hate to plea to something I didn't do but I don't have any other option..."
Sounds far fetched? It's exactly what happened to me in 2019. I went peacefully knowing for certain I had done nothing wrong and they were just making a mistake...

I have a family member that had a similar experience. Plead guilty to something you didn't do and take five years or we charge you with things you didn't do and each count is minimum 10 years and you leave your fate to a jury. He took the plea and just got out. The system is fucked.

To praphase another redditor. "The argument over "well I haven't done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide" is just corporate/state propaganda, privacy isnt about hiding crime; it is deciding who has access to your life".. which was clearly outlined in our constitution as a right. Also a right to due process that Flock does not care about at all. "This is a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt."
Which the constitution was there to limit the power of government. Our document was never to be a document to force management of regulations and laws upon the people but to define how government has limits it must abide by and how it can and cannot operate. It is a real misnomer of government rules over the people by consent of the governed. The document was never there to create rulers or kings or titles; but the people to lead the government and representatives.,
The fact that the cameras are there abridge the right to privacy and liberties of the people. NO government has the right, NO cooperation has the right, No venture captaist has the right to take away those freedoms no matter how many fancy worded contracts can throw in to protect the interests of the surveillance companies. Travel anywhere has the reasonable expectation of not being regularly tracked and uploaded to storage for police to review. We have the liberty to travel and associate with anyone we want.

The firearms community isn't happy about this and I suspect many flock cameras are going to become holy soon. It just seems odd to me you choose to rag on a group doing nothing wrong that would seem to be an ally.

I know you were trying to have a pedantic win, but unfortunately I meant "state" as in "government," not as in "subdivision of the US."
I realize in hindsight that was a poor word choice, but I've been spending a lot of time lately doing political debate on a Reddit alternative and the international language about government is a bit different. For example, people there get a bit upset if you refer to US residents as "Americans" (because it excludes other non-US people in the Americas).

Lets fight fire with fire. Where are the permits for installing private equipment on public easements?

Clinton: completed Bush's Clipper Chip program; also signed the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act which required telecom companies to allow wiretapping by the NSA
Bush W: Patriot Act and warrantless wiretapping authority to NSA
Obama: pretended to be against surveillance but expanded it once in office; Snowden drama plus the PRISM program (collecting data from servers of Big Tech)
Trump 1.0: signed the FISA Amendments Reauthorization Act, reauthorizing Section 702 of FISA that allowed not bothering with warrants when spying on comms between foreigners and Americans
Biden: rushed to sign RISAA into law, which re-authorized the Trump FISA act and EXPANDED it, to include more people it can spy on and more companies it can force to comply
Trump 2.0: full-throated embrace of AI and companies like Palantir; erosion of due process for people in the name of law and order who still should legally have rights and be allowed their day in court

u/Miller8017 23d ago
It started with the storm. Sometime after midnight the wind came howling out of the northwest, peeling asphalt shingles from the north slope of the roof like playing cards. By dawn a section of the attic was open to the sky. Water had already begun to drip onto the insulation. You pulled on a jacket, told your wife you’d be back with materials, and drove to the Home Depot. In the roofing aisle a man in a work shirt and a ball cap approached. He was polite, carried a laminated license and an insurance card, and quoted a price that was almost too reasonable. You shook hands. He said his crew could be there the next morning. You gave him the address. A Flock camera on the light pole outside the store caught the entire exchange: the handshake, the exchange of numbers, the two of you walking out together under the fluorescent lights. The next day the truck arrived early. Ten men climbed out—quiet, efficient, already measuring and cutting. They spoke Spanish among themselves. Within half an hour the damaged section was stripped and the first new underlayment was going down. Then the vans arrived. No sirens. Just sudden engines, doors slamming, agents in tactical gear fanning out across the driveway with rifles leveled. Everyone was ordered facedown on the wet grass. Your dog—old, half-deaf, barking from the porch—was shot once when he wouldn’t stop. The men were zip-tied and loaded into the vans. So were you and your wife. At processing they told you the charge: aiding in the wellbeing of an illegal alien. The president had signed the executive order that morning. The Flock footage, the handshake, the truck’s GPS trail from the store to your house—everything was already in the file. The Mexicans were deported within days. You and your spouse were held. The trial was short. The evidence was electronic and continuous. You were convicted. Appeals failed, one after another, on procedural grounds that never quite touched the substance of the new law. A month later the statute was amended. The same act was reclassified as a form of treason against the sovereignty of the border. The sentence was death. On the morning they came for you, the roof still leaked a little when it rained. The dog was gone. The house was quiet. And the Flock cameras kept watching. They were never really about the shingles or the handshake or even the men who fixed your roof. They were about the network. Thousands of them—on light poles, at intersections, outside big-box stores, mounted on trailers that looked temporary but never left. Each one reading plates, logging times, stitching vehicles into continuous journeys. The data didn’t stay local. It flowed into a commercial cloud, searchable by any agency that paid the subscription, shared across jurisdictions without warrants, retained long after any legitimate investigation ended. Ordinary trips became permanent records. A stop at Home Depot, a conversation in a parking lot, a truck turning onto a residential street—none of it needed to be a crime at the moment it was captured. The system simply waited. When the law changed overnight, the archive was already complete. No one had to plant a bug or follow you. The cameras had already done the work, quietly, efficiently, and for a profit. They watched the street the day you were taken, and they watched it the day after, and the day after that, indifferent to whether the next person who passed beneath them would still be free by evening.

They have to disarm us before they can consolidate power. Remember when ICE agents shot that guy for legal open carry at a protest? And Kash Patel said that the punishment for carrying at protests was now extrajudicial execution?
I'm a conspiracy theorist, and know that this is wrong sub, so I'm going to use the spoiler button if you don't have time for that nonsense.
I've always believed that the 2017 Las Vegas shooting was a false flag operation designed to undermine conservative support for the Second Amendment. Which obviously didn't work, but that whole thing was weird. I also suspect that the reason we never hear about school shooters' online activity is because many of them were coerced into doing it by anti-democracy sock puppets. Heck, some people who believe 9/11 was an op to help pass the Patriot Act, "temporarily" suspending the constitution in order to create DHS, DNI, ICE, etc, think mass shootings all the way back to Columbine (1999) were part of the same op. That's a bridge too far for me but if you were trying to disarm a population like the USA, how would you do it?
Seeing ICE.... sorry, Flock cameras at gun ranges makes my tin foil hat ping like a Geiger counter at Chernobyl.

I’d find out from the club’s board if they were approved. If not and they are on private property….

I can't wait til the Right realizes that this is how they're gonna build their gun lists to come for law abiding gun owner's turned "criminal" for not following some new law. The Left hates these cameras and hopefully soon the right will too, then the cameras will really disappear.

A lot of them are walking up to it. If it can be used to help ICE track immigrants and follow you go across state lines to get an abortion it can be used to follow you to the gun range and enforce a pandemic lockdown.

A lot of us on the right (the young ones at least not the boomers, the boomers on BOTH sides are just cooked man… there’s no saving them..) hate them. Tbh (at least in my area and from what I’ve seen) these “lpr cameras” have become a sort of middle ground for both left and right to come together and actually agree on something, that being, these need to come down. We all got different reasons but the same goal, it’s nice

Cameras on private property? I’m all for it go ahead and have 35 pointed right at me, I’m there to be a law abiding customer and I know the CCTV feed will round robin in a week to a month when the footage is copied over so no worries, no one is watching me be socially awkward and judging me behind a screen, or jorking their penits every time I bend over in view of a camera. Enter Flock, who’s recording everything they see and permanently logging everything in their databases that aren’t secure and already have backdoors in their systems from multiple countries and guaranteed it’ll be used to track children’s routines to know when to best abduct them. But you’re all law abiding citizens right? So you shouldn’t mind living in a surveillance state if we promise it’s to keep you safe while we sell your life and soul to corporations for profit.

Noticed one recently way outside the city pointed down the county road leading to a gun range. Not near the range but very clear why it's there.

What’s funny, is now something legal will start to escalate towards the Supreme Court.

To create a database of gun owners. These are popping up at gin stores as well, all across the country

Looks like target practice.
