# Gun Range Flock Cameras Are Building A List Whether You Know It Or Not
# Colion Noir — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMyBbJgXVyg

So, it looked like somebody bolted
cameras to a pole at a gun range. Not
aimed at the street, aimed at the
driveway. Close enough to read every
plate that pulls in. And if you want to
know where a list like that ends up, CNN
already reported on a cop in Milwaukee
who answered that for us. I'll get there
though. But first, watch this.
So, I decided to go to the gun range
today, you know, like an American. And
tell me why there are Flock cameras
pointing into the entrance of the
parking lot. Not not the streets. Not
the street. Into the entrance so they
can read every license plate that comes
in here.
Yeah, no, I love this. I love this. I'm
sure there is no ulterior motive behind
this either.
I come out to the range and this is what
I find. There are freaking Flock cameras
at the gun range. This is the entrance
to the gun range.
So, they got you coming in.
They also got you going out.
All right, so this doesn't shock me.
Like a lot of things
government-oriented, I've got a
love-hate relationship with Flock
cameras and honestly, it's a lot more
hate than love. Because I remember
getting chased around downtown by dudes
I'm pretty sure were trying to carjack
me and I ran a few red lights getting
away from them. And in the middle of
that, I'm thinking, "Every one of these
lights has a camera on it. So, right now
they're watching me run all these red
lights." So, I decided, "Let me just go
ahead and call 911 and explain to them
why this particular plate is running all
these lights downtown." Now, I don't
even know if that's how it works. I just
had the thought anyway and I made the
call. So, I've already kind of had an
idea how pervasive these cameras were in
the city. But, a bunch of Flock cameras
pointed at the entrance and the parking
lot of a gun range is above and beyond
suspicious as hell. Now, I can see
somebody making the argument that a
range lot is a logical target for theft
if you're a criminal thinking surface
level where there's a whole bunch of
guns going to be sitting in cars, a gun
range would be that place. Truth be
told, most of us are taking our guns
inside with us, but that's an elusive
obvious, and a lot of criminals don't
think past the surface. So, the argument
exists. Fine. The problem is Americans
don't trust the government, and the
government has never really given us a
reason to trust it. It's the same reason
people balk at taxes. Plenty of folks
wouldn't mind paying more in taxes if
they believed the money went anywhere
useful. And take it down the historical
gun path for a second. How many times
have you watched this government try to
infringe on a right written directly
into the Constitution? If they'll go at
the second, you think they're going to
be precious about the fourth? And you
can see where this goes, right? You've
got a plate, and it's not hard to attach
an identity to that plate. And then
you're just sitting there watching how
many times that same car pulls into the
range. Somebody shows up more than
whoever's looking at the screen sees
fit, and now there's a soft database of
gun owners that nobody ever had to pass
a bill to create. And if the day ever
came where they decided they wanted to
start collecting firearms, they've
already got the name, the address, and
[clears throat] pretty good idea of how
much practice you've been getting, which
is what takes me back to Milwaukee. Last
week, CNN published a report on police
misusing these cameras' networks. Not
hackers, actual officers with logins.
And one of the cases came out of
Milwaukee where Internal Affairs opened
an investigation into one of their own.
According to the criminal complaint,
quote, he secretly used Flock to learn
the location of his romantic partner 124
times. Bro,
if you got to do all that, the
relationship is done. But then again,
that's the whole thing right there.
[snorts]
Power corrupts, and absolute power
corrupts absolutely.
It's one thing to use the system to help
somebody solve a crime. It's another
thing when a dude sits at a terminal and
press into somebody's personal life
because he can. And what we've done is
hand people the ability to pull up damn
near anybody's movements off the
smallest piece of information. Now,
think about the guy in Twin Falls. Armed
citizen out there engaged the shooter at
that In-N-Out and drove him off the
scene. And we've come to find out he
trains a lot. Bearing Arms wrote up
where he does it. Quote, "He shoots on
weekends and trains in the desert
outside of Eden."
The desert. Nothing out there reading
plates, though.
But imagine he'd been pulling into an
indoor range every weekend for 5 years
with a camera on the driveway. That log
exists on the guy this entire country is
calling a hero right now. And whether
the log makes him a hero or a problem
depends completely on who's reading it
and what year it is. Because as long as
the government is in existence, it's
going to look at gun owners as a
potential threat. And you want to know
why?
Because that's kind of the whole point
of the Second Amendment. American
citizens are supposed to be positioned
in such a way that we could be seen as a
potential threat to a tyrannical
government. They'll always cloak it in
safety, law and order, keeping people
safe. I'm not saying those are lies. I'm
saying let's not act like nobody noticed
the extra benefits of knowing who owns
guns and how often they show up to
practice with them. And look, there's a
good chance those cameras went up
because the range owner put them there
to protect their own customers. That's a
real thing. There are just so many of
these things everywhere now that I'm not
putting my money on it. Then again, who
knows?
So, next time you're at the range, ask
who owns the camera at the entrance, how
long the footage sits on the server, and
who they hand it to. If nobody behind
the counter knows, that's your answer.
Registration used to take paperwork and
a signature. Now all it takes is a pole,
a lens, and your driveway. And so, don't
forget to like, share, and comment. And
also, we got the America 2A hat design
as you can see I'm wearing right here
looking all beautiful and fresh and
lovely. You see the the eye where the
bullet is or the bullet where the eye
is, you know how it goes. But no, that's
representative of what this country was
founded on, the second amendment. So,
I'll put a link in the description of
this video. We have them in hats, we
have them in shirts in different colors
and styles. Go check it out. Go, go, go.
Go check them out. One thing's for
certain and two things are for sure,
politicians and tech giants don't want
gun content to be recommended to you.
And we're all fighting this culture war
together. Now, you can help do your part
by liking, commenting, subscribing to
the channel, but most importantly,
sharing this video with at least one
person. Together we can stop the
suppression of our 2A rights. And don't
