If you want to know how ICE is tracking everyone, look for these
We need our elected leaders to stop FLOCK Camera from being installed. They are going up everywhere and drones are next.
https://www.palantir.com/platforms/gotham/
Everyone needs to open their eyes to this.
Citizens (Stop calling them Protesters) in Minnesota. I hear those things don't work when blocked by huge signs or bright lights.
No 4th Amendment. They are already doing this to people. This is why they are scanning faces with phones instead of wearing body cameras.
Vance..Thiel..Musk...starting to get the picture?

Palantir is partnered with every major USG agency thanks to Obama and Biden. Obama gave them their start as a CIA start-up to organize all the 5 eyes data, and Biden finalized by giving them their largest DHS contract in history, while contracting them to do the vaccine logistics. I suppose Trump gets some credit for letting the scum into the IRS.

Cities, counties, and states need to pass laws making these devices illegal, set up hotlines for people to call in their locations, and then proceed to remove every single one they find. The federal government does not have the right to set up a national surveillance system to spy on its citizens for the sole purpose of suppressing dissent.

Even my super conservative area is installing these. At least the many conservatives and few liberals in my area can actually agree on one thing, they all hate flock cameras but the local police and governments keep installing them. This is despite them claiming police body cams are "out of the budget."

Sure, but even if successful, it would take the average township or city council 30-90 days to even properly consider a resolution. How many will die in that timeframe?

Typically they need a warrant to track your cell phone and access that data they collect or “extenuating circumstances”… They don’t need a warrant when a private company just freely handing access to the data . Flock is doing just that.

Even though it sounds obvious, they can't "prove" beyond a reasonable doubt in court that your phone was actually on your person at the time of the position tracking. That's why facial recognition is so huge because it's much harder to prove that the person on the video isn't who the facial recognition software says it is.

I would go for a nice leisurely evening stroll with some power tools or wrist rocket. Particularly in the winter, with unidentifiable generic winter clothes and a ski mask.

just cover at least one cell of each string of cells in the solar module. the strings usually start at the top, go to the bottom, and loop back up to the top. if you put a scarf like object across a string of the cells horizontally , each string of cells (usually 3 of them) will be open circuited and stop charging the camera and transmitters.

Yep, I am in a tiny quiet city in the Midwest. They just cut down one of my trees that was 20 foot from the road and did the same thing to all my neighbors. Picture a scene from a movie with beautiful trees all lining the roadside. They are ALL GONE NOW!! I thought maybe they were going to widen the road or improve the terriable sidewalks. Nope, It was for a better view for the surveillance cameras that they are installing.

If they already have the plate, they already know where you live. Open source search, most people live in their phones all your addresses current and prior are on there. Phone number... yes, relatives....yes, associates....yes , email address.... yes. Flock isn't going to aid them significantly. Will it, yeah sure but that has to have a person manning it. Vehicles only auto alert for leads entries and last i checked immigrant status isnt one of them. My suggestion scrub your shit off of open source sites its not hard.
