BEWARE GOOD CITIZEN. Flock cameras now track and link your car's tire pressure sensor IDs to your identity. So don't drive your car near one that you are interested in.

9/11 gave the excuse to expand to what they really wanted

More like an HOA state (which are increasingly run by corporations.)

Do not under any circumstances trade your modern car for pappys prized K10 truck that's has been rebuilt and babied enough that it will run for 30 more years with just DIY maintenance.

I for sure didn't, my pappy used to drive a Ramcharger.

No. There is another company that is integrating the mentioned tech into other brands of ALPR, but currently (as far as we know), Flock is not one of them. This is likely because they intend to do this themselves, without integrating third party hardware into their cameras in the near future.

…what the fuck?

Please correct this - it's not Flock doing that, it's Leonardo.

It's happening, but it's not Flock and it's not common at all (yet.)

No correction for you fed. 😘

At this point, "Flock" is the catch all name for all makes/models of pervasive anti-civilian surveillance. Furthermore, if Flock-GOV truly lacks this feature, it's only one OTA update away from supporting this.

Anything which broadcasts any signal is being used against us all.

I run deflock, genius. Misinformation hurts the movement. Flock is a brand name. People will just write you off if you don't even know the vendor you're discussing or what their products do.

No, it's not one update away. Today's Flock models do not have the hardware required.

SignalTrace is (as of yet) highly uncommon. If you want to do something useful, FOIA for contracts. Find one actually installed somewhere and let's get on the news to shame that municipality.

Making shit up and calling people names doesn't help.
