NSA WHISTLEBLOWER WARNS: FLOCK CAMERAS ARE BUILDING A 24/7 TRACKING GRID NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake warns that Flock cameras are becoming far more than crime-fighting tools. They are forming a surveillance network capable of tracking ordinary Americans in real time. By outsourcing the infrastructure to private companies, government agencies can claim they are simply buying a service while gaining sweeping access to population-level data with almost no oversight. It goes beyond license plates. Bluetooth signals, wireless transmissions, phones, smartwatches, and connected vehicles can all act as digital beacons. Together, those signals can reveal where you drive, who you visit, which events you attend, and how you move through your community. That information can be stored, searched, and shared far beyond the local police department that first collected it. @Thomas_Drake1 explains how license-plate readers, Bluetooth, wireless signals, and connected-vehicle systems are merging into a de facto tracking grid for every American. When private corporations run that grid instead of the government, constitutional guardrails weaken, and unchecked data collection gets a quiet backdoor.
