# Free Gems Podcast — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp0d-LzHi4Q

Have you been seeing what's going on
with these Flock cameras?
What is this about? I see my boy Tommy G
make a video on YouTube, but I ain't get
to check it out yet. What is a Flock
camera? Cuz I know what flocking is.
Shout out to YG. [ __ ] was always
making music about flocking.
So, these Flock cameras have been going
on going up for the past few years all
around the United States.
Mhm.
And the goal, as they would say, is to
is counterterrorism. Is to where they'd
be able to track suspects easily. And
apparently they were just saying that
they ran license plates, but they do a
lot more than that.
Mhm.
And they're basically surveillance of
the people. And a lot of people saying
this is against the Fourth Amendment.
The fact that you can you can track
somebody's make, model, color of their
car, and track it through all these
other cameras. Apparently, there were
police there were people there were
police officers who were using it for
personal reasons and tracking spouses
and stuff through
Oh, [ __ ]
And there were and there were Flock
employees as well using it for personal
reasons. And some of the stuff was be
able to get hacked as well.
Mhm.
That other people would can see stuff
and
Okay, wait. This is getting This is
getting scary.
It gets very scary. And And guess what?
That's scary.
And guess who pays to maintain it? The
public.
Funds.
Of course.
Oh, so like the police are are
Police have a budget to maintain the
Flock cameras. And who gives the police
their budget? We do. We are paying for
them to spy on us, basically. And it's
ironic because everything that America
claims China does. Surveillance cameras
China does.
Or just like the Soviet Union, the
communist the the commies over there in
the eastern part of the world, how they
how they track and maintain and keep
track of all their citizens. There it
it's a confession cuz they're doing the
same thing to us. And
And there's been a lot of pushback.
There There's been There's been a
movement of deflock and people
destroying Flock cameras when they see
them. And there's been also a lot of
peaceful protests. And the CEO of Flock
actually called the protesters
terrorists, and that's not going over
well. People are not happy with the CEO
of Flock and all and all that with that.
And it's been a lot of pushback from the
people the fact that without any votes
or anything, they can just put these
cameras up and just track everybody. And
like I said, the fact that it can be
hacked, the fact that it can be used for
personal reasons. It's literally in my
opinion, and a lot of people are saying
it's literally against the Fourth
Amendment, search and seizures and the
right to privacy. And without a warrant,
you can't you're not supposed to be able
to track your citizens. So, I want to
know your thoughts on everything.
I don't know, man. I'm all for [ __ ]
getting becoming safer. So, like at the
end of the day, it's the natural
progression of it is what it is. It's
one of those like it is what it is. Like
it's only going to get worse. If you
think they're not already tracking us,
of course this is an extra level and
it's risky. It's very scary. It's
nerve-wracking, but so is everything
else. So was the internet. So was social
media. So was
dating sites. All this [ __ ] is just like
connect There's always been a fear of
technology. Always has pros and cons,
and it is what it is. This is going to
ultimately make the world safer. It just
is what it is. It's going to happen.
It's inevitable. Don't fight it. And
there you go. Look, Siri Siri's talking
to me right now. Why? Cuz they listening
to us. Cuz
the Illuminati's real, and George Bush
did 9/11. But we got to make sure we
don't put that on TikTok.
And they also And they also use the
Flock technology. ICE uses the Flock
technology.
Of course.
down. And they just It's just murdered
somebody who was here in this country
legally up in Maine.
In Maine? There's people in Maine?
They probably mistook him for a bear.
What the [ __ ] Who the [ __ ] walking
around in Maine?
Ain't going to lie, if you in Maine
trying to duck ICE, you're going to
jail, buddy. But you're going to stand
out like a sore thumb.
But he was here He was here legally.
Well, you shouldn't be in Maine. So,
[laughter]
I'm just saying. Now, I'm joking around.
But I thought about Somebody really
died? Well, rest in peace to that
person, man. Prayers to that family. It
is just crazy like what the like
ICE in Maine is insane.
It's crazy because It's also like this
is really crazy like knowing history,
and it's really ebbs and flows.
Everything really repeats itself. And
we're in a situation now where the
elites have
the ruling class is is all this power
and gaining so much power and they're
using mediums like Palantir. They're
using mediums like Flock in order to
survey everybody else. And right now
right now ICE is using that technology,
the police department's using technol
that technology. But who's to say later
on it's not going to be other activists,
other protesters and stuff. They're
laying the foundation to make this type
of technology a buffer between them and
the rest of us.
pro ICE or anti-ICE?
Oh, I'm anti-ICE.
So
In the fashion that it's used right now.
Absolutely.
So you into like illegal people coming?
See, this is my thing. I'm okay I'm
absolutely okay with deportations. And
there are a lot of people that do need
to be deported. And
Obama. What they call Obama?
What they call him?
They call Obama the deporter-in-chief.
The Obama deported more people than
Trump. But the difference is the way he
went about it. There's a way to go about
things.
Okay.
Trump and what ICE has been doing,
they're literally
grabbing up people after their
assignment after their asylum hearings.
When they're going through the legal
processes. And there's a certain way to
go about things. And I feel like this
administration is cutting a lot of
corners. They're putting fear in a lot
of people. They're on the streets,
people wearing masks. They have masked
men who are armed. A lot from what I'm
hearing there's certain a lot of ICE
officers aren't really trained that that
well. The person that just shot the guy
in Maine apparently he has a long
history of domestic violence. His
ex-wife came out and said I can't
believe that they allowed him to get in.
And it's basically and it if you ask me
it's basically like a Gestapo to where
it's a it's a it's the rulers it's the
king's private army.
Mhm.
It's all it all repeats itself.
That's scary. When you start talking
like that it gets it
it all repeats it all repeats itself.
It's the same
it's the same thing that Kingpin did in
Daredevil. When he was the mayor of New
York he had a secret army running around
going after the vigilantes who were
under the table not doing what they were
supposed to be doing not following the
law. And it's the same thing. It all It
all It all bro, it all repeats itself.
This This I think this is his secret
police. And what it is, once you start
allowing certain sectors to poke at
certain certain sectors, who's to say
they're not going to do another sector
next? It might be ICE now. Once They
already call They already call the
progressives domestic terrorists. He's
already been saying it. He's been laying
the groundwork forever to start coming
after more people. You feel me? It's
just the fact that if we get comfortable
with allowing this, then later who's to
say that you can't point out and say all
these people are my enemy and go and go
and get them. It's literally It's
literally like the king's court, where
he's doing whatever he wants to do. So,
it It's the manner in which and if you
look at Obama's record, the percentage
of violent undocumented immigrants that
were deported were a lot higher than
Trump. Trump's situation, he's deporting
grandmas. You feel me? Like I don't
think that every system should have
legal processes, but he also fired all
these immigration judges as well. So,
you're not make So, there are my whole
standpoint of the fact that we created
the situation, this instability overseas
that creates immigration. So, we create
the instability, we go around telling
countries this is your leader, if not,
we're going to put sanctions on you.
Okay, well, we're going to try to
overthrow him. Okay, chemical warfare.
Okay. And this creates instability,
which creates immigration, and what he's
doing is he's He fired a lot of the
immigration attorneys, immigration
judges, who would who were trying to get
people citizenship. And he's out here
running streets with masked men and
pulling people pulling people off the
streets in unmarked cars. And it's a
situation where this is not This is a
time in America where it where not
supposed to be doing this. And we're And
we call out other countries for doing
this. Yo, imagine if Iran, imagine if
Cuba, imagine if Venezuela, the leaders
of those countries was doing exactly
what Trump is doing with ICE here.
What would you be saying about them?
We need to get them out of power. We
need to go We need to go in there.
America needs to save its citizens. The
citizens are protesting on the street.
They want this guy out of here. You we
we're going to we're going to we're
going to
We're going to lift these people out of
freedom.
This is a tiring office. So, we're
literally doing everything that we
accuse other countries of doing. So, in
the
Sounds about right. Sounds like the
American way.
No,
I am I'm not against I'm not against
immigration enforcement. There are a lot
I said there are a lot of people who
need to go who don't need who don't
deserve to be
Got a cousin or two that could go.
No, like there are like and that's the
thing.
go.
That's the thing. It's not a We talk
about issues like this people think it's
either black and white that you want
everybody here or you don't want anybody
here. No, it's about doing it in the
right way. We have processes in order to
make sure that we're following up and
doing things the right way and as of now
it's causing so much instability. It's
causing so much distrust for the
government and there's a lot of people
who like I said
Look at you.
Guess what?
They're deporting people without due
process and without due process how do
you in here legally if you don't give
them that chance to do due process? They
can grab you on the street by the way
you look and not if you don't have your
say in court, guess what? You They're
shipping you down the They're shipping
you down
It's the manner in which they're
enforcing it. Like I said, there been
American citizens that have been
deported without the due process.
I've been hearing about that.
There's steps in order to do it the
right way.
Every day we look up somebody's getting
shot.
I don't agree in which the manner in
which they're doing things and it's just
another Gestapo if you ask me. It's just
another king king's court and doing
whatever he wants.
