Why is Purdue University building drone weapons to hunt down humans fleeing in a forest?

Police Are Increasingly Pulling People Over Because AI Deems Their Driving Patterns “Suspicious” ----- Police are using AI-powered license-plate surveillance to identify people as “suspicious” based simply on their travel patterns. Systems using ALPR data can analyze where someone has driven and flag ordinary behavior—such as traveling between states—as potentially criminal. Those AI alerts are leading to “pretextual” traffic stops. Instead of telling drivers they were flagged by surveillance, officers may cite a minor traffic violation to justify pulling them over, questioning them, and sometimes searching their vehicles. The ACLU warns this represents a major expansion of mass surveillance: rather than using license-plate records to investigate someone already suspected of a crime, AI can continuously analyze the movements of millions of innocent people and generate suspicion where none previously existed, potentially including associations, political activity, protests, and travel.

6G wireless network is coming, and it could be worse than Flock. "Everything that is moving is going to be tracked."

County approves a $1.15 billion tax break for a data center without input from citizens. The data center needs enough electricity to power 1 million homes. Two residents are suing, alleging the approval violated Alabama's open meeting act.

Activist arrested for placing signs on Flock cameras ----- I'm passing this press release along: For Immediate Release 10/26/2026 Indivisible Ogden Local community activist David Belnap was arrested on Sunday for placing signs identifying the locations of ALPR AI surveillance cameras, commonly known as 'Flock'. Information about surveillance technology, such as camera locations and use, should be freely available to the public. By placing signs, ones that do not obstruct the camera's use, Mr. Belnap provided information that should already be accessible to the public. Agencies across Weber County, including the Weber County Sheriff's Office, various municipalities, and private businesses, operate hundreds of AI surveillance ALPR cameras. These cameras are leased from companies including Flock, Motorola, Axon, and others. No official registry lists ALPR camera locations, and community advocates struggle to get information agency by agency. Significant gaps remain in Utah's ALPR policy as an ever-interconnected world creates more avenues for abuse and misuse. According to the Utah Civic Compact, the Weber County Sheriff’s ALPR data was searched five million times, with 96% of those searches coming from outside Utah, including 125,719 from federal agencies. Utah law offers some protections against agency misuse of this technology, but none limit how companies use the data analyzed from ALPR systems. Local community activists were notified that sheriff's deputies were harassing Mr. Belnap while placing non-obstructing markers identifying the location of AI surveillance cameras. Activists arrived at the location to find Mr. Belnap's car being towed, and Mr. Belnap arrested. The County has not yet made bail available to Mr. Belnap. We demand that the Sheriff's Department not arrest people who simply want to clearly mark when civil rights are being endangered by privatized surveillance. We are asking community members to speak out against injustice. Contact the Weber County Sheriff about the arrest of Mr. Belnap; your state representative to ask for clear policy governing ALPR companies and agencies; and your mayor or city councilor to ask them not to spend tax dollars on AI surveillance technology. On Monday, Oct. 26th, join us at 4 p.m. to stand in solidarity for our valued colleague. We will gather by the road leaving the jail, at the NW corner of 12th and Depot Drive (700 West 12th Street), to demand his release! Then join us on TUESDAY, Oct. 27th, at 6:00 p.m. for a Community Forum on FLOCK cameras at Pleasant Valley Library, 5568 S. Adams Ave., Washington Terrace, in the Black Box Theatre.

A photo of a bathroom is uploaded, and the system returns an exact street address. Graylark Technologies sells an AI tool called Raven that geolocates interior pictures by matching features against millions of scraped real estate listings. Graylark claims the system helps police locate trafficking victims. People encounter this when any indoor photo goes online. By scraping Zillow and Airbnb in violation of their terms, Raven turns temporary real estate photos into a permanent surveillance database, exposing homeowners without their knowledge. While marketed for severe exploitation cases, Graylark recently demonstrated the AI tracking people who vandalized a street camera, showing police will expand its use. Anyone whose home was listed online is now permanently cataloged. No law stops police from using commercial algorithms to bypass physical warrants.

Flock allows Police departments to create a "special class" of people who are exempt from Flock searches Who are most likely to be exempted? Themselves, their connections, and supporters, etc.

Nothing says "land of the free" like a Flock camera on a pedestrian bridge that tracks everyone who walks across it. How is this not the "Big Brother" Orwell warned us about?

When a college asked to cancel their Flock contract, Flock said no Then the college said they would pay the rest of the contract if Flock would just remove the cameras. Flock ghosted them. Then the college covered the cameras; every time they did, a person in an unmarked car would show up and remove the covers
