Flock Safety: Is America Building a “Pre-Crime” Surveillance State? | Free the Money Ep. 39 Are we moving toward a “pre-crime” surveillance state where authorities can track your movements, build a profile of your behavior, and potentially decide you’re suspicious before you’ve even committed a crime? @JasonBassler1, co-founder of the Free Thought Project, joins me to expose @Flocksafety and the rapidly expanding surveillance infrastructure being built across America. We break down how Flock’s automated license plate readers (ALPRs) can track far more than just a license plate, creating a “digital fingerprint” of your vehicle and logging your daily movements. Jason also discusses documented cases of police abusing ALPRs, innocent people being wrongfully stopped or held at gunpoint, and Flock data being accessed beyond local police. He says ICE, the ATF, FBI, and DHS have accessed Flock data that cities never approved. Key points we cover: -Flock Safety’s nationwide network of ALPR cameras and its expanding drone technology -Why ALPRs account for less than 1% of crime clearance in many departments—meaning roughly 99% of the surveillance collected is on innocent people -Motorola Signal Trace technology that can detect wireless signals from phones, Bluetooth devices, AirPods, and wearables -The growing push for age verification and digital ID across the internet -Why taxpayers could be spending roughly $360 million per year on Flock cameras -The Fourth Amendment questions surrounding mass location tracking -Why financial privacy and private digital money matter in an increasingly surveilled world -How communities are fighting back through FOIA requests, city councils, and projects like DeFlock Remember to subscribe and hit the bell “🔔” icon to get notifications.
