This Is What Flock's 175,000 Cameras Are Really For

0:00 They used 83,000 Flock cameras across this country to find a woman who got an abortion. Flock ALPRs are able to read so much more than license plates. So, so much more. But, it's not really what this is about. ALPRs are where the largest volume of documented personal misuse is now. live. Flock Safety operates a network of 100,000 plus roadside cameras capturing roughly 20 billion license plate scans per month. These are their numbers. I actually think it's a lot higher than that. Okay, so capturing roughly 20 billion license

0:45 plate scans per month searchable by 5,000 plus law enforcement agencies with no warrant required and critically a national lookup feature that lets an officer in one state search plate data collected in another. This is a problem. A single deputy can sweep tens of thousands of cameras in seconds. Okay? Now, I don't know if you guys heard about this one, but this one is insane. In fact, let me see if maybe we can find a video about this. In the state of Texas, they used 83,000 Flock cameras across this country to

1:30 find a woman who got an abortion. Remember women when I said that you are the ones that are disproportionately abused by these systems? It's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. It's a lot. It's It's It's nuts. Okay? So, in May 2025, 404 Media, who did that article we were just looking at, uh revealed that a deputy at the Johnson County Sheriff Office in Texas Texas had queried Flock's nationwide network to find a woman connected to a self-managed abortion. The reason typed into the search log was verbatim had an abortion search for female. That's the prompt that he used. Now, why did she have to administer a self-abortion? Probably

2:18 because she lives in a state that outlawed that stuff. At some point we need to have a reckoning in this country about how we treat our women and our children. We say women and children first and you know, protect your women, protect your family, protect your children. We don't do that as a country, do we? Our law enforcement certainly doesn't, okay? So, an initial search hit 17,684 cameras and expanded May 9th, 2025 search swept 83,345 cameras across 6,809 networks nationwide, including cameras in Washington, Illinois, and California. All states that legally protect abortion. See, you can't

3:03 sit there and say that the states are allowed to choose their laws and how they want to, you know, enforce those laws and then create systems that they have to put in everywhere that circumvent the laws of that state that is messed up. That is messed up. Chat, do you think that's messed up? Cuz I certainly do. Sheriff Adam King and Flock Safety Public publicly framed it as a welfare check for a woman her family feared would bleed to death. But in October 2025, EFF investigation of by Dave Maass and Roddalah Al Jaje, I

3:53 nailed that by the way. I nailed that name. Okay, it surfaced the lead detective sworn affidavit describing a death invest- investigation of a non-viable fetus. Yeah, because she lives in a state that would rather her die than to get the medical care that she would need so that she can live and get the dead baby inside of her out of her. That's killing her. Pretty crazy. Investigators had consulted prosecutors about charging the woman. A medical examiner later determined the fetus was a blood clot. No charges were filed against her. It was a blood clot. Now, I don't know if it was actually a blood clot or that was a doctor or an examiner with some modicum of of power

4:41 in that situation doing the right thing. And either way, the manhunt happened. This happened. Now, people have been hearing about it over the last couple of weeks, but this was actually last year. This was over a year ago this happened. And again, over a year ago, we had far less cameras out there. But we still had enough cameras out there for 83,000 of them to be checked so that we could go after a woman who tried to save her own life because the state won't allow doctors to save her life for her. And if that doesn't piss you off, we can't be friends. And if you don't like that I'm talking about

5:26 this and I'm defending the women out there, then you could leave. You could leave. I implore you to leave, actually. Leave. Unfollow me on everything. Please. I beg of you to do that. If you think that I'm an for talking about
