Some slightly positive local news for a change.
Earlier in the week, the city of Fort Wayne voted to not renew a $120,000 contract with Flock after a pretty massive outpouring of public rejection of the invasive camera system. Astute observers of the city budget pointed out, and this was reinforced by the Fort Wayne police, that the cops just needed to reduce the amount being spent to under a hundred grand and that would remove the need for council approval. Basically it was a “eff you” workaround.
That brought more backlash which led to this:
FLOCK: FWPD confirms cameras will come down after conversation with Mayor
After a conversation with Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker, the Fort Wayne Police Department (FWPD) said Flock cameras around the city will be coming down.
“The Mayor has heard the concerns from the public,” spokesman John Perlich wrote Thursday.
“We will be working to disable the Flock technology,” Perlich continued. “There are logistics to work through such as a federal grant that’s part of this process. Flock ultimately will oversee the removal of the cameras.”
I will withhold judgment until it actually happens because the cops definitely don’t want them to come down. Still it will be nice to see it happen. From Flock to data centers to “vaccine” mandates, people are slowly waking up. Too late to be sure but better more moving toward our side than not is my philosophy.
Yea just so long as they don’t sneak the Axon ones in while everyone is paying attention to the Flock squirrel or if they already have them in place and didn’t want the competition…
They’ll just bring in the unobtrusive ones attached to preexisting lamp posts. Its like gambling and legalized pot: it doesnt matter how many times the citizens make plain they don’t want it, and vote down the referendums, they’ll find a way to install it anyway.
Moshe Trumpsteinberg (Israel) is invested in Axon which most police bodycams are.
Watching Gen-Z chase into Illinois from Wisconsin, charged with attempted homicide after ramming cops, under the influence of coke.
Only one spotted on the ground off of I-74 but there are some up high on cellphone towers, AI Bolshevik Revolution II bunkers and a 15 minute city with carbon capture pipeline out that way.
Flok me, Flok you!
Cops are now using decoys to entrap people disabling them. So, dont do that.

Apparently, The Miss USA Beauty Tournament? Contest? has a new princess.
.
Apparently, Justus Kelley, 31, former Miss Virginia USA 2026, is the latest princess.
Despite the hope-encouraging sound of ‘Kelly’, this princess is negress:
* bony,
* homely,
* wig-hat wearing,
* sporting a freakish amount of fake-up,
* beat with the ugly stick,
* with fake teeth,
* something something.
.
Despite all those positives, I remain unimpressed.

Looked it up.
Obvious tranny.
Wouldn’t fuck her with a stolen dick.
Meanwhile our local pigs are bending over backwards to convince us how necessary those cameras are and why we should be grateful they’re willing to invade our privacy in the name of “safety”. I seriously don’t view the tin-starred lackeys as any better than a garden variety stalker at this point.
We’re on our own. Tribe up. In a year’s time (or less), the only thing the internet will be used for is to track us down and kill us.
Finding some of us is a mistake….
I’m afraid that these fl@ck cameras are just a decoy/distraction. My company (large company that you all heard of) is deploying 1300 AI dashcams in our mobile fleet. They scan everything around them visually license plates,etc, and also everything around ethereally (GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth,Amateur radio,cell signals. We are obviously not the only company to do this. Much more difficult to get rid of compared to the fl@ck cameras. The total surveillance state is here.
You’re in a position to do something, however meager, about that. Will you?….
I, and half my group of about 25 are willing to be fired by not signing the agreement. Fortunately (or, unfortunately depending on how you look at it) our company no longer invents and manufactures products. Overly bloated management just creates processes. We have processes to create processes to create other processes, ad infinitum. This will probably buy quite a bit of time, probably around the time of one of our local contacts ($175mil) comes up for renewal. Not much else I can really do, but I am in a niche occupation, and have quite a few options. Our company even wants us to install the dashcam and the black box. However, the leasing company forbids us to do anything with the car. We can’t even change a flat tire. The car doesn’t even come with a spare! What a joke.
Congrats!
