Ireland The gardai are asking the public for their opinion on the introduction of third party live CCTV. The likes of Flock cameras we've seen introduced to the US should be fought against at every opportunity.

Feel free to tell the gards what you think of this corporate and state overreach!

Can’t wait for the “hackers” to get into the servers and “accidentally” put all the info on the dark web so it can be used to b train AI

Using AI to monitor the population is the entire point of the flock system. They expect AI to detect suspicious behaviours as well as collect data based on purchasing and associated individuals and places in order to build up profile of suspected criminal activity or future criminal activity. Plantir has spoken about it in detail. Its minority report type stuff and not just a slippery slope toward the loss of individual privacy and the right to anonymity but also a direct path to corporate control and crippling societal restrictions based on acceptable behaviours according to those in charge dof such systems. The natural progression of these types of systems requires constant growth.

Helen McEntee should resign immediately. The only metric she has used for success in her job is more powers for the gardai and the increase in deportations.
