# Benn Jordan's flock camera jammer will send you to jail in Florida now

Hey everybody, how's it going? Hope
you're having a lovely day. Welcome to
today's episode of How You Getting
[ __ ] I'm your host, Louis Rossman,
and today we're going to talk about a
new law in Florida that came out right
around the time that all these AI
powered surveillance cameras are
becoming popular all around the country.
If you're not familiar with Flock, the
TLDDR of this is they're a company that
makes AI powered surveillance cameras
that are being hung everywhere at your
taxpayer expense. The whole idea behind
them is that city employees can easily
figure out where you're going or where
you are based on when your license plate
has passed by one of these cameras. It's
not just a license plate reader because
even if you take the license plate off
the car, it could still tell that that
is your car via fingerprinting
technology. This allows us to live in a
future someday where you could just have
somebody type in there. Where do people
who you who vote for Ron Paul show up at
7 and 9:00 on a Friday in this area and
then show me their movement patterns
afterwards and actually get a response.
It's highly, highly creepy and it's
something that shouldn't be happening.
Anyway, Ben Jordan did a great video on
this a few months ago. In this video,
he's talking about defeating the AI in
these creepy police cameras. And you can
see one of the things he did here is
there's this layer of what I imagine is
like plastic wrap or something or saran
wrap that went over the license plate.
And then you can see these little dots
that look or squares. It looks like
something that got put on with a
Sharpie. Like there's a square over
here. There's a square over here.
There's a circle over here. This is
essentially the world's easiest capture.
If you're a cop, even if you have 2040
vision, you can clearly make out this
license plate. There's nothing obscuring
it whatsoever. However, he shows you in
this video how when he just after he
does that to the license plate, how it
confuses the AI and it just stops seeing
it as a license plate. Like it's just
it's just confused. It doesn't
understand it anymore, which is really
really cool. It says no plate detected.
So obviously you can see the license
plate. If this person crashed into me
and then ran away, even if I had 2040
vision, I could see that license plate.
The cop can see it. Passengers can see
it. Anybody in the surrounding area can
easily view the license plate. Even a
$30 piece of [ __ ] dash cam that you find
on eBay is going to be able to read that
license plate just fine. No issues as a
result of that. The only thing that
can't see it are AI powered surveillance
cameras that are trying to [ __ ] watch
you everywhere you go, George Orwell
style. Now, this is where this house
bill in Florida comes into play about 2
months after this guy's video comes out.
A person may not apply or attach any
substance, reflective manner,
illuminated device, spray coating,
covering, or other material onto or
around any license plate, which
interferes with the legibility, angular
visibility, or detectability of any
feature or detail on the license plate,
or interferes with the ability to record
any feature or detail on the license
plate. A person who knowingly violates
the section, commits a misdemeanor of
the second degree, punishable, as
provided in 77502 or 775083. Again, if
you cover your license plate and you try
to get away with driving without it,
fine. [ __ ] you. But if any of you have
ever driven off-road, there's a good
possibility you have more obstructing
your license plate than this. Hell, if
you park in the driveway of my store
under that [ __ ] tree with all the
crackles, you will have more birdshit
obscuring your license plate than what
he has done right here. But this is
illegal because he has placed the
substance in front of the license plate.
And when you look through this, when you
look through a felony of the third
degree or misdemeanor of the first
degree, when you look when you look at
the punishments that they're putting in
place for this, I am not a lawyer in the
state of Florida, but this is comparable
to a DUI. So, even if your license plate
is readable by dash cams, by people,
both straight on and at an angle,
perfectly fine, you can be put in jail
the same way that somebody who is
drinking a 40 and then throws it out the
side of their car who's swerving in
their lane because you you had a capture
on your license plate. And the fact that
we even live in a world where people are
considering this, where I have 20 emails
in my inbox every day saying, "Louis,
look at how cool this video this
influential person did who's showing me
how to put a capture on my license
plate." Is even a thing to protect your
Fourth Amendment rights? is insane. But
this is being done for a reason. And I
think the really important thing to
focus on here is it's not a bill about
just throwing away your license plate
and making that illegal. Because this is
one of the reasons I don't want to get
into politics because somebody's going
to come up with a bill that says the
don't kill kittens bill and Lewis is
going to vote against it when he runs
for the House of the Senate. And people
are going to say when I run for
re-election, Lewis is for killing cats
and kittens. And nobody's going to
actually read the bill to realize that
the text of the bill says killing
kittens is wrong, but we approve of
torturing them and we'll provide funding
for torturing kittens and like I'll get
thrown out of office. This bill is not
about obscuring your license plate for
everybody. This bill is about obscuring
your license plate to the AI
surveillance camera. Even if your
license plate is readable by everything
else, it's not enough. It has to also be
readable by the device that violates
your Fourth Amendment rights everywhere
you go. And the fact that this law came
out right at the time that this video
became popular, right as this has
started to become a contentious issue,
in my opinion is not a coincidence at
all. And I know that there's going to be
comments in here saying, "Lewis, why are
you okay with people obscuring their
license plate, that's [ __ ] up. You
shouldn't be okay with that. People who
want to obscure their license plate, and
I get it. Trust me, when I see somebody
with no license plate on the road,
they're usually somebody who's driving
like a complete psycho." If you have the
intent to keep everybody on the road
from being able to tell what your
license plate is, uh, I'm not okay with
that. you know, when somebody crashes
into a me and then drives off, I'd like
the ability to to to hold them
accountable. But this ain't what we're
talking about. We're not talking about
obscuring your license plate to people
around you. We're talking about
obscuring your license plate to the
camera that's violating the Fourth
Amendment of the Constitution to begin
with. And that's very different. And the
fact that this law came out just now,
I'm not usually that guy to say, "Why do
you care about that now?" But I think we
know why they care about it now. And
there are people that are going to say
there's no expectation of privacy in
public. And I have a nice little
rebuttal over here to all of this. In
Carpenter versus United States, the
Supreme Court explicitly rejected the
argument that venturing into the public
eliminates Fourth Amendment protection.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that
the government's access to 127 days of
cell site location data tracking
movements on public roads achieved near
perfect surveillance as if it had
attached an ankle monitor to the phone's
user. The court said, and I quote, "A
person does not surrender all Fourth
Amendment protection by venturing into
the public sphere." The Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court applied this
reasoning to ALPR technology in
Commonwealth versus McCarthy, holding
that with enough cameras in enough
locations, the historic location data
from an ALPR system in Massachusetts
would invade a reasonable expectation of
privacy. It would constitute a search
for constitutional purposes. Society's
expectations been that law enforcement
and agents would not and indeed in the
main simply could not secretly monitor
and catalog every movement of every
individual's car for a long enough
period. In United States versus Knots
1983, while holding that the limited
beeper tracking did not constitute a
search, the Supreme Court explicitly
reserved the question of whether
different constitutional principles may
be applicable to Draget type law
enforcement practices. This reservation
recognized that comprehensive
suspicionless surveillance raises
distinct Fourth Amendment issues from
targeted tracking of individual
suspects. Me coming out with this video,
you're going to see so many comments
saying, "Why is Lewis for people hiding
their license plates and obscuring them?
That guy's a psycho. He wants the roads
to be unsafe." You're going to see that
because people are not going to get far
enough into this video. They're not
going to get far enough into that bill.
Even if I made a short that's 8 seconds
long to realize that this is about the
cameras being able to track everywhere
you go, not just law enforcement
officers and the people around you on
the road. It's weird the way this works
because there's very specific patterns
that have to be there to do it. But
theoretically, that type of pattern
could randomly show up if you were just
driving through mud. Is it the intent
that makes it illegal? Is it the
presence of it that makes it illegal? If
you have a certain amount of mud on your
license plate and that cop doesn't like
you, could he use this law and be a dick
and put you in jail the same way that he
would if you were driving with an open
bottle of absolute and swerving in and
out of your lane? I don't think people
that don't want to be tracked by AI
surveillance cameras should go to prison
for the same period of time as a drunk
driver. But that's just me. Let me know
what you think in the comments down
below. Do you think this is a
coincidence that this law is coming out
at the same time that the Fourth
Amendment is being violated throughout
the country? Or do you think that it's
being done for a very [clears throat]
particular reason? Let me know what you
think in the comments down below. Thank
you to Ben Jordan for doing this video
and clearly clearly you're getting
through to people and you're making
waves and pissing all the right people
off because right after you release
this. Oh, lastly, we are also very close
to being set with a website that will
alert you when the these cameras are
coming to your area. So, if you want to
know if these cameras are coming to your
area and when the city council hearings
are, we're going to have a website. It's
It still has some work to be done on it,
but uh I'm I'm excited to and hopeful to
be able to give you some news on that
soon. That's it for today, and as
always, hope you learned something. I'll
see you in the next video. Bye. Now, the
kitty goes over here.
Over here, over here. Look, I'm petting
an invisible kitty. Oh, look. I'm
petting an invisible kitty. Oh, you're
so jealous, aren't you? Here. Red pill
[ __ ] does not work on on female humans,
but it works on female cats.
I'm going to start the Andrew Tate of
Cats channel to get cats to listen to
you
on female cats. You're a good little
girl. You don't want me to pet the
imaginary kitty, do you? You want me to
pet the blackberry?
I have to sit here and do this for the
next half hour instead of do my [ __ ]
video.
Do you think I belong to you?
Do you think you have a god-given right
to just get pet and played with all
[ __ ] day? No work. You realize I have
several companies and nonprofits, right?
I have [ __ ] that I that I need to do.
This view doesn't just pay for itself.
You know,
my god, what is all this? Look at all
the fur. [ __ ] Don't eat your own fur.
Ew. What the [ __ ]
kitty? Hey everybody, how's it going?
Hope you're having a lovely day. I've
been talking a lot about Flock AI
surveillance cameras on this channel.
Oh, hell no. I just fed you. You did not
spend 10 minutes being quiet just to
start the raw while now. No, Barry.
I have a video to do.
Blackberry, I can't play with you
anymore. It's 12:24 and I'm just getting
started. I played with you all morning.
Blackberry.
Come up here.
The kitty's down there. Come up here.
Come up here.
She's 16, so she's not going to be
coming up here very often anymore,
unfortunately, unless I help her. Even
she has stairs over here, but this is
not enough, unfortunately, at this
point.
Blackberry. She's got this disease in
her spine. Lumbro sacrals. some lumbbo
scar scackel disease. Something like
that.
Come here. Oh, don't know. You want to
nuzzle me here. Come on. Okay. I'm going
to pick you up. Okay. Very careful with
the kitty. Come here. Very careful. Very
careful with the kitty.
Okay. Good girl.
It's a good kitty.
Hey everybody. How's it going? Hope
you're having a lovely day. I've been
talking a lot about Flock AI
surveillance cameras in this uh channel.
They are these cameras that are they're
called automated license plate readers,
but they're set up in a way where
[clears throat]
but they're set up in a way where even
if the license plate is removed from
your car, it can still tell using the AI
features and functionality that that car
belongs to you. It's it's really really
creepy. It can be and it's a way to be
able to tell where people are at any
given point in time. It is a dragnet as
I go over in
