# Johnny B — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxH5UShouSY

You and your family are being surveilled
by the government. We're going to talk
about Flock cameras. It's Tin Foil
Tuesday.
So if you like exposing truth and
[singing] drop dropping truth bombs,
then welcome to Tin Foil Tuesday.
I want the truth. Well, big shout OUT
SHAZAM TO YOU PEOPLE. About 10,000 of
y'all over the months have hollered at
me and said, "Johnny, talk about Flock
cameras." I thought people knew about it
and they really, really don't. A lot of
folks don't know. I hollered at a friend
of mine this morning and she said, "Hey,
what are you talking about today?" And I
said, uh, "Flock cameras." And she said,
"What's that?"
I'm telling you, this is not on a lot of
folks' radar. Some of y'all are already
clapping to this episode cuz it needs to
be talked about. Let me steer you in
some different directions. At the end,
I've got a fantastic question of the day
for you that's going to be interactive
and you're going to have to do a little
bit of homework. Take you just a minute,
but you're going to find out about the
Flock cameras in your community and uh,
it's super easy, but oh, it ain't good.
Buckle up. Here we go.
No ad today. This is coming from my
heart. Grindstone Ministries, their day
to day is Giving Tuesday. It's a yearly
thing they do, but I want to say this,
following the flood, the Hurricane
Helene flood right outside those studio
doors, just a few miles away,
they were here within a matter of days
and I'm telling you the change that they
did, that's who we locked hand in hand
with and I got to go down there. I got
to be a part of it and got in my own way
and got to plug in with them, but I also
got to just sit and watch and hear and
listen to the stories. I saw what they
did and what they're what that team is
capable of. Bear and his team are legit
and I don't know another way to say it
than holy smokes, they make things
happen. Now, it's ended here. There's a
lot going on here, but their work here
has come to a conclusion. Now, they're
in other communities. They follow
disasters and make things happen. Today
is their Giving Tuesday. I'm personally
going to give and I encourage you to at
least consider it. There is a QR code
right there, but also you can go to
grindstoneministries.com.
My understanding, it is tax deductible.
I count it off on my taxes in 2024. So,
big thank you to the folks at Grindstone
Ministries. Shout out to Bear and the
entire team. Appreciate all you guys.
You people, thanks for every thumbs up.
Appreciate y'all. Comment of the day
comes in from KATR. I can't see the rest
of it. Hey, Johnny B. My husband and I
watch every evening from Lake Charles,
Louisiana. Woo! My birthday is 12/1 and
my husband's birthday is 12/2. It would
make turning 46, Katrina, and 48, Mike,
even better if you could give us a shout
out. Keep doing what you're doing. Happy
Thanksgiving. Hey, Katrina and Mike,
happy birthday. Mike, uh, I think it's
time. Go get that prostate checked, bro.
Go get it checked. Appreciate y'all
watching. Hey, happy birthday. This goes
out to you.
All right, we're talking about Flock
cameras. You're going to hear it called
several different things. You're going
to hear it called ALPCs and ALPRs,
but they're all the same thing.
Communities, municipalities, towns, or
states, or the federal government go and
buy these cameras. Now, Flock is an
actual proper name. That's an actual
company. So, it's not a generic term.
Flock cameras are made by Flock and they
establish them, they put them up, and
then they read license plates, but they
also take in a lot of other data. It
ain't good. What we know for sure is
there's 82 to 84,000 of them, but
there's more going up literally every
day. So, there's 80-some thousand as of
the filming of this video and they're
not good and there's dangers involved.
Three things, privacy violations. They
track your movements and share your data
for long periods of time, creating a
detailed record of your location history
and that record is searchable.
Risk of misuse. It's already been shown
to be misused. Uh, shocking. Shocked
face. The federal government or state
governments or three-letter agencies
will misuse that. And limited benefits.
There is no substantial evidence that
ALPRs, Flock cameras, actually do
anything. So, it's not good. Now, the
Flock cameras are out there. I'm going
to show you in a minute where you can go
to find out in your neighborhood where
they are. They're there. People need to
know about this and some people need to
do the Lord's work.
[gasps]
This is from flock.com, flocksafety.com.
Stop crime in its tracks with evidence
that drives action. That ain't good. I
don't need the government to take any
action over my life. So, they have the
cameras up, they're searchable, and it
looks like with evidence that
municipalities are sharing the data with
other states or with three-letter
agencies and they are immediately, bang,
misusing it and doing searches and it
none of it is good. There's already some
pushback. This is from the ACLU. Now, I
know we don't like the ACLU, but we are
on the same page in a lot of different
areas and there is some overlap Venn
diagram.
This is a recent article from this past
August and they've done more stuff since
then. Flock's aggressive expansions go
far beyond simple driver surveillance.
That article you can find on there
super, super easy. This is from
Political, Politico, liberal towns
backtrack on license plate trackers amid
concerns about privacy and Trump. And
the reason these liberal communities are
saying, uh, "We don't want our Flock
cameras anymore." is cuz Trump's ICE has
been using it to chase down illegal
immigrants or foreign invaders. I'm fine
with that. I'm not fine with having my
own data being searchable by any
government agency or any government
individual. None of this is good. Right
here is the Flock cameras here in
Johnson City, Tennessee. Downtown,
that's the yellow one, has 27 downtown.
There's a few more spread out that we
know about. There's another 11 down
there where, uh, 321 hits the
interstate. So, those of y'all from the
Tri-Cities, you can look at your own
municipality.
All right, there's some dangers
involved. I'm going to give you now just
a few highlights of recent stories that
had to do with Flock cameras or the
ALPCs. In Gig Harbor, Washington, the
police chief found himself being grilled
by city council members over ICE data
sharing. Quote, "You sent me some
information, I think, about the city of
P." I don't know how to say that. And
they said, "I believe they belong to 593
networks. It's big."
In Syracuse, New York, councilors
demanded to know how their local LPR
data, license plate reader data, ended
up being searched 4.4 million times by
police around the country without a
warrant. That's something that needs to
be talked about and shared with ICE
despite promises to the contrary. The
Evanston, I'm not sure where that is,
maybe Illinois or Indiana, I don't know,
police department revoked out-of-state
access to its ALPR database after
revelations that the city's data had
been subject to at least seven ICE
searches despite a state's law that bans
data sharing with ICE. Now, I want to
pause right there cuz if you're like me,
you're like, uh, "Let's get ICE rocking
and rolling and get these foreign
invaders out of our country." And in
principle, I am 100% for that. However,
it's already been shown that this data
and these camera readers are being used
against us, regular citizens. Austin
citizens, and I mean that, not foreign
invaders. Austin officials
decided not to renew the city's contract
with Flock. Quote, "Austin should not be
participating in Trump's mass
surveillance programs." declared council
member Mike Siegel. In Denver, the city
council rejected a Flock contract
proposal unanimously. Quote, "We
acknowledge that today's environment is
much different than when the pilot began
in early 2024." Again, they're going,
"Oh, we've got to keep the foreign
invaders in town." In Richmond, I assume
Virginia, the police agreed to share LPR
data with the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Firearms, and Explosives.
Gay. In June, they found out the ATF had
been making immigration-related searches
without notifying the city. Richmond
then cut off the data sharing. Now,
where the overlap breaks a little bit,
ACLU is going hard because they're using
it for ICE. It has been shown clearly
that the federal government's using it
for things other than ICE.
This is from Texas on 404. You can find
them on 404, I think, dot com. A Texas
cop searched license plate cameras
nationwide for a woman who got an
abortion. She self-administered
an abortion. They tracked her down in
another state using Flock cameras. Now,
people are pushing back on this. Let me
give you a few, uh, maybe I'll say this,
uh, ways that you can go research a
little bit more if you're interested in
this. You should be. There's a company
called De Flock, super easy to find. You
are being tracked right now. This is as
of today, there's 60,000 ALPRs that they
have mapped out. We know it's up in the
80s, but you can find more on De Flock,
super easy to find. And
they have an app called deflock.me. I
don't think a lot of folks have
downloaded that yet. There's only 18
ratings as of today,
but folks are talking about this. Let me
give a shout out to Ukulele Casey. Casey
turned me on to some of this stuff and I
appreciate that, Casey. Thank you. He
hollered at me this morning and said,
"Hey, dude, we got to do Flocks." I
went, "All right, we got it. I'm on it."
This guy right here, Business Reform,
his YouTube channel is blowing up. He
does a lot of stuff. He has the worst
thumbnails in the history of YouTube,
but some of the best information. You
can find it at @businessreform
on the YouTube. He's got some great
stuff on the Flock cameras.
And then finally, before I give you the
big assignment, this guy, Ben Jordan, he
hacked a Flock camera and the stuff he
got that camera to do is wild. They are
super, super unsafe. Anybody can hack
into them. You can jump on there and if
you know how to clickety-clackety, you
can find every cop car in America in
real-time data where they are at. There
are pushbacks right now on the national
level talking about national security.
Anybody, anybody with a good hacking
team can get into these things and get
all real-time searchable data. Now, it
doesn't just look at your license plate,
it also looks at the dents in your car,
the scratches, the color, where you're
going, what direction you're going, and
also looks at stickers on there. It's a
lot. They can find you in real time on
the roads today.
Just a few weeks ago, Florida has now
made it illegal to cover up your license
plate with the plastic or to have those
plastic things that go around your
license plates that auto dealers put on.
So, you buy one from
from Johnson City Honda and it's going
to say Johnson City Honda.com on it.
Those are now illegal in the state of
Florida. Why? They want to make sure the
Flock cameras can see your entire
license plate. I get it. It's a mess.
All right, here's your homework. I want
to challenge each of y'all to go to
deflock and you can find them. I ain't
linking to them. You can find them. Find
them on the Google and look at your own
area. You can click a map, give it your
give it your zip code and look at the
camera. Sound off down below. What do
you find out? I found out the most
interesting thing I found out about
Johnson City, there's 27 downtown just
in one little grid and that's a problem.
Your job is to let me know what you find
out on deflock. Go check it out, search
it out, and let me know right down
below. See you tomorrow on Hump
Wednesday. Welcome to Tin Foil Tuesday.
We hope you sing along.
