Flock data + Axon body cam footage + facial recognition, "in one searchable platform." That's the pitch VIDIZMO emailed to Johnson City PD's deputy chief. Its tech also claims behavior prediction and racial and gender analysis on live camera feeds. www.404media.co/surveillance...

Surveillance Company Tells Cops It Wants to Add Facial Recognition to Flock Cameras

A surveillance company wants to "close the gap" that Flock won't do, by pitching facial recognition on its cameras.

"The reason I protested in the 1st place was the anti-democratic behavior of Speaker Sexton." Asked if he'd protest in congress as he did in Tennessee (for gun safety laws to protect kids), @justinjpearson.bsky.social reminds NC5 Sexton's authoritarianism necessitated it.

Johnson City's Deputy Police Chief says he only noticed after Aug. 20 that out-of-state agencies were searching our Flock camera network. FOIA'd emails show Flock told him every month, in bold, that 1,800+ agencies had access. 🧵

July 26, 2016 – I had a lot of hope in this moment for a better future Are we going to continue to accept this fascist administration? A gerrymandered Tennessee that doesn't represent the people? A government that caters to billionaires and corporations?

11/ Even Navatek’s executives were surprised at how far their money went in D.C. “It was eye-opening for me, frankly. ‘Oh my God, all of it is for sale. It’s all for sale,’” former executive Eric Schiff said.

4/ To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek’s CEO, Martin Kao, sends an initial $150K to the pro-Collins super PAC (1820 PAC) using a shell company. Reed knows Kao is behind the donation. “Very smart,” he says in an email viewed by ProPublica.

Emails Between Martin Kao and Scott Reed, Discussing Contributions to the Susan Collins Super PAC, 1820 PAC

“Hi Scott: Had a chance to discuss 1820 with my CFO and attorney last night. They are suggesting setting up a separate new LLC to make the donations. Name of new LLC: Society of Young Women Scientists and Engineers.

In my personal real estate investments, we often use LLCs that can be set up to "facilitate" transactions. They are super vague and very difficult to get any background info on. Totally legal and typically used in real estate transactions to conceal the identity of buyer/seller. Wanted to get your thoughts/concerns.”

“Very smart and glad your counsel understands. Thanks for doing this.”

“Great! We will proceed on getting this set up ASAP. Have a nice weekend.”

2/ Our story starts in 2019. Collins is at risk of losing her seat. A year earlier, she helped Navatek land a multimillion-dollar Navy contract in Maine. Scott Reed, head of the pro-Collins super PAC, meets with Navatek execs in a D.C. cafe and asks for a $500K donation.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Washington County didn't vote to be surveilled by their government 24/7. These cameras log people going to work, school, church, the doctor—everywhere they go. It's a huge invasion of privacy and a breach of our 4th Amendment. All done without warrants, guardrails, or oversight.
