Flock Safety CEO caught in a lie and panicked in response to the ICE raids

We also think about transparency. So every single search inside a flock is audited. That that audit's stored in perpetuity. So while the data gets deleted at 30 days, that search history gets stored forever. And who owns that data? All the data is owned by the city or whoever's paying for the cameras. So if it's if you added one in your neighborhood, which you should, your neighborhood owns that data. You control who has access to it, who it's shared with. So some of our neighborhoods share with local law authorities, some don't. And I think if you look at a place like Denver, all the data is owned by Denver PD. We have I can't even access to it. Even if in a life or death emergency you called and said, "Hey Garrett, we we we really got to get to it." I said, "I I don't have the keys. It's encrypted. Only Denver PD can unlock that." So you can't even as the CEO like open up a computer somewhere and tap into No, I mean I and and to be to be fair, right? These these these situations exist, right? Life or death situations exist all the time. Now luckily law enforcement works really well together. Welcome back, flock flock.com. In today's video, we're going to discuss Flock CEO and founder Garrett Langley. He is the mastermind behind all these Flock cameras going up in in my local area and your local area as well. Currently, according to my count, there's over 95,000 of these Flock cameras going up. And that number is growing every every week it grows. He himself even says in a recent interview that they pull about 77 permits a day throughout the country to put up these Flock cameras, right? So basically when they dig a hole, put a pole in the ground, fill it with concrete, and erect a camera, they have to obviously get a permit to do so. And that's a lot of pull permits they're pulling every day around the country, right? So that's a fast-growing business indeed. And obviously it's a violation of our Fourth Amendment, which today we're going to talk more in depth about the CEO Garrett Langley. He is was caught in some lies, right? And he did some interviews over the last several months. And a big one was late last summer he did an interview with the Denver, Colorado local news. And in the in the interview he he basically said that uh Flock does not share any data with the federal government. [clears throat] And doesn't have any contracts with the federal government. And and that was back in August of 2025. And that was a a big lie. Uh basically a Pinocchio type lie, right? If you remember the old fable, I don't know if you all old enough to remember Pinocchio, every time he lied his nose grew, right? So So Garrett Langley, that was a a big Pinocchio on that one. They turned out after that interview, turned out they did have contracts with the federal government. They call them pilot pilot contracts. So they quickly tried to, you know, justify saying it was just some trial stuff and it wasn't like permanent contracts. It was no big deal. So obviously they're they're trying to do some damage control on that. So he he was caught in a big lie there. Uh but his biggest misstep looking back in the last several months, especially uh he made a a comment about the ICE raids, right? You know, ICE raids were going on in in in the last several months and and uh you know, Garrett Langley the CEO he says, "Well, ICE we don't share data with ICE. And ICE or or the police and law enforcement owns the data anyway." So uh again, his exact words that law enforcement the police own the data, the Flock data. All the data that it collects off of your license plate. So so basically as you drive by these cameras, right? It takes a picture of your plate, okay? Uh this is a Georgia tag here. And and basically that is that data gets stored, right? So he he's saying they don't own the data, that the police own the data. And and that's a good thing because actually uh he he he messed up, okay? I'm going to tell you why. You look at the big picture. That was a big misstep by Garrett Langley. He is panicking, right? He he said, "Oh, the police own the data. We don't own the data. As you know, we have nothing to do with ICE." [snorts] You know, the whole ICE thing scared him, right? [clears throat] And he wasn't a 3D chess player. Let me tell you that because we have several lawsuits in the going through the courts right now, especially the Institute of Justice or Institute for Justice. They're they got a new one just opened up in San Jose, California. They have one already in progress in Virginia. And and then these court cases will eventually make one of them will make it to the Supreme Court, right? Obviously we know that and we're going to win in the end. But where Langley screwed up was he said the police own the data. And that's a big thing because when it comes to the Fourth Amendment and police tracking us, uh you know, the biggest thing is, you know, this private company like Flock and the and the public entities like the police forces, you know, it's a big blur line. It's it's a gray area. Who who, you know, is it a public company tracking us? Is it a private company tracking us? So cuz technically a private company can't violate your civil rights, right? That's a big thing, right? So So in this case the the police own the data, which is that's that data is is exactly what's violating our civil rights, okay? So in the end the the Supreme Court will will see hopefully see this uh our way. And hopefully one of the attorneys for Institute of Justice will will play the CEO's words video of his exact words where he says the police own the data. And that indeed will will be uh obviously the the the Fourth Amendment violation right there because the government can violate your Fourth Amendment rights. A private company cannot, right? So Flock cannot, but the police can violate your Fourth Amendment rights. So So Garrett Langley was not thinking ahead, right? He was thinking about today and the now, right? Cuz he was panicking over the over the ICE raids and all the all the publicity that it got, right? You know, and again, this is not a political channel and you know, I have Democrat brothers and sisters. I have Republican brothers and sisters. I have independent brothers and sisters that all follow this channel. We're we we need to unite on this issue no matter what side of the aisle you stand on, okay? Or if even if you're not political, you need to be against these Flock cameras. We we are about at least my channel and and my whole philosophy is to unite people against this this this surveillance this constant surveillance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This Orwellian stuff that's going on basically, you know, tracking our every movements for no reason at all, right? We have done nothing wrong, but yet we're we're basically we're suspects in every single crime because we drive around on the streets that we paid for with our tax dollars, with tags on our cars, our license plates on our cars that we paid for with our own money. And and basically we have no say so in this, right? So so I think hopefully ultimately the Supreme Court uh uh will rule in our favor. But he Langley Garrett Langley he messed up that one. He he he he basically come out and said the police own the data and and Flock does not own the data. And that was cuz he was running scared because of the ICE raids, right? That was a that was a big big misstep. And also I want to mention, you know, he he has this new thing. He just did an interview about a month ago with this Stripe channel. This guy on the Stripe channel basically talking to a Irish guy about the, you know, the US Constitution. Like like some Irish guy has you know, knows anything about our Constitution or even cares about our Constitution. No offense to the this guy on the on the Stripe network. But the the safe cities, let's talk about safe cities. So So Flock CEO Garrett Langley he's talking about these safe cities. They got one now apparently the prototype is is already laid out. It's in Greenville, Mississippi, okay? So for all our viewers in Greenville, Mississippi, watch out because they have drones and cameras everywhere. Uh they're rolling this thing out where it's basically a big Flock umbrella over that over that city. It's supposed to be obviously make things safer and and make crime go away, right? That's obviously a a big fallacy. We all know that. Don't drink that Kool-Aid, okay? Let me tell you that. Don't drink that Kool-Aid, folks. But anyway, this is apparently this Greenville, Mississippi is the is the prototype. It's the basically it's like a pilot project for what they want to do throughout the country, okay? With these safe cities, right? 24-hour surveillance, 7 days a week. Everywhere you go, no matter where you go, okay? And without a warrant all without a warrant, okay? And this is not the world I want to live in. This is definitely not the country I want to live in. And our founding fathers made the Constitution the Fourth Amendment was pretty specific about, you know, having to have a warrant to to search us, right? And then not having a dragnet surveillance type state, right? This is basically uh uh our founders our our our founding fathers were brilliant, right? Those those guys were brilliant. Let's just be honest. Also, let's talk about So the safe city, let's talk about the Flock tells the, you know, how he they prevent stolen cars, kidnappings, shoplifting, all this stuff. And you okay, nobody wants their car stolen. Nobody wants to, you know, to have their stuff stolen. Nobody wants to be kidnapped, right? I mean obviously that's goes without saying. But again, I've said in other videos previous videos, you know, first of all, the kidnappings are mostly domestic issues. 99% of them they're known to the to the person that kidnapped them, right? So the police always solve those cases even way before Flock cameras ever existed, okay? So that's a big a big fallacy there. Also, shoplifting, you know, yeah, you may catch a petty shoplifter here and there driving away, okay? From a Lowe's or a Home Depot or a Walmart. But you know, at the end of the day, that doesn't really protect us. That protects corporations, right? That does nothing for you and me, okay? And then this, you know, like Walmart or somebody will say, "Well, it raises prices on goods and services." Well, you know, I'm sure they can find other reasons to raise prices, right? So, that trust me, that's not just all about shoplifting. And And besides, now the biggest shoplifting going on is that they're stealing from distribution centers, they're stealing off of trains, and things like that. They're actually getting bigger loads because of the you know, it's harder to steal from a store right now, right? So, they actually you can argue it's made it worse, not better. Uh again, these these uh basically Eastern European gangs are stealing from the warehouses directly and off trains, okay? So, uh basically, they're getting bigger bigger loads versus just stealing one item at a time out of a you know, out of a a Walmart or a Target store or something, right? Uh so, really it it it it basically has done nothing, okay, for for shoplifting overall. And the And the And the biggest thing is is the stolen cars, right? I know a lot about cars, okay? I'm a I'm a car person. Uh I have a car background, right? Very expensive car background. Uh but, stolen cars, they you know, when they first come out with car alarms, you know, that was supposed to be the end-all, you know, you weren't supposed to get your car stolen. And then they come up with these fobs and all this stuff on these new cars. Oh, this computer technology, you won't be able to steal the car. Well, guess what, folks? Uh all you need is Autel and some simple knowledge uh of the Autel, and basically, you can make your own keys, okay? To any car, okay? Very simple. And that's what they're doing. These folks These criminals are just using these these computer uh Autel scanners and stealing cars in less than a minute. They steal the car, and guess what? Uh the the the the small petty thief, yeah, the Flocks cameras might catch the small petty thief. But, uh the big rings, uh especially these uh some West African uh car rings, they're stealing 100 150 cars a month, okay? And they're all going All these cars are going over to Africa. Uh and uh basically, they're uh sold on the black market, right? So, so basically, uh the Flocks cameras are doing nothing for that cuz these guys are sophisticated. These guys know what they're doing. They They get the car, they steal it, they put it in a a safe spot, okay? Then they change the VINs, and they move the car to a port and they get it out of the country. So, really, they're not going to Flocks cameras are not going to stop anybody that that knows what the heck they're doing, like these guys. These guys These gangs from uh like West Africa, they're uh very sophisticated, very intelligent folks. They They will not be stopped. And they And occasionally, they do bust some out, right? Probably, you know, it's probably uh you know, that looks good for the cameras, but trust me, they're the these dudes are stealing a lot of cars all over the country every day. Uh and just keep in mind that these Flocks cameras are not stopping those guys, okay? They're only stopping the the amateurs, okay? Which I call the amateurs, right? Uh so, don't think that Flocks camera's going to help you at all with your stolen car, okay? And I see a lot of, you know, I get on forums, Facebook, and things like that. I see people commenting how they love the Flocks cameras, and how safe it is for they feel so safe with the Flocks cameras, and they have nothing to hide. And you know, that sounds all great, okay? But, not Don't think for a minute, man. Don't think for a minute that this will not be used against you one day, okay? Uh and again, this is not a political issue. I I I I try to unite folks, not divide folks, right? They They try to keep us divided so we we can't fight together, right? That's the thing. The biggest thing is this country's all about dividing folks, keeping people in in categories, and and that way we can't actually uh you know, unite together and fight a cause. And we And this Flocks stuff, we need to unite together and fight a cause. I I I really, once I explain this to people that don't know about it, I pretty much convince just about anybody, okay? Uh there ain't many folks I haven't convinced about this that I have actually talked to personally, right? Obviously, I have to be able to have an influence on them, but uh I can make a good argument, okay? And uh yeah, once you you talk some sense into people, they see the light. They see the light, they see that this Flocks stuff is is is actually uh it's not good for us. It's not good at all. It's a violation of our rights, okay? So, just keep that in mind. But anyway, I wanted to bring this some of this Garrett Langley uh uh misinformation out into the public forum, and and just let everyone [snorts] know that that guy is a obviously, he's trying to uh build a company. Uh he he he's trying to make money. Uh you know, he has this uh like his sense of he's like a noble, you know, he has a sense of like he's holier holier than thou, or he has a noble purpose or something. And I'm not really sure about that. I don't really get that, but uh he is uh obviously uh he's in this for the long haul. So, we have to fight Flocks at every corner, every street corner, okay? On on every every every city hall meeting, every county commission meeting, we have to fight Flocks uh wherever they are. We got to fight them because uh obviously, uh they got a lot of people fooled, okay? Especially when you you talk about safety, yeah, like I mentioned it. When I say, "Oh, well, it's about your safety." That's uh you know, that's a good uh it sounds good, right? But, trust me, you need to start running the other way, okay? Trust me on that. But, thank you for watching. Please subscribe. Thank you for uh uh all the folks that send me emails and information and videos and articles. I appreciate everyone. And um I thank you for watching.
