The documents show law enforcement sees themselves as being consistently and universally under threat from the people it is supposed to protect.

404 Media: Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves

#privacy #AI #surveillance #bigbrother #dystopia

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, which are designed to capture license plates as people drive by, Flock’s Condor cameras are pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras designed to record and track people, not vehicles. Condor cameras can be set to automatically zoom in on people’s faces as they walk through a parking lot, down a public street, or play on a playground, or they can be controlled manually, according to marketing material on Flock’s website. We watched Condor cameras zoom in on a woman walking her dog on a bike path in suburban Atlanta; a camera followed a man walking through a Macy’s parking lot in Bakersfield; surveil children swinging on a swingset at a playground; and film high-res video of people sitting at a stoplight in traffic. In one case, we were able to watch a man rollerblade down Brookhaven, Georgia’s Peachtree Creek

Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves.

Flock left at least 60 of its people-tracking Condor PTZ cameras live streaming and exposed to the open internet.

AP: Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patterns

"...The predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched and in some cases arrested. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going and which route they took. ..."

The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious, The Associated Press has found.
