Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras
If you live in the United States, it's very likely that a private startup has been logging and sharing your vehicle's location without your consent.
In this video we explore how AI can defend against being tracked by 3rd party police and retail AI tracking cameras.

Those that give up freedom for safety deserve neither!!
If a normal person would do this it would be illegal.
We should look up the driving records for all the officials and see if they are comfortable wit this.
Since we the tax payers pay for it we have access to the data as well. this is an overreach between government and private companies. like Palantir.
a totalitarian government using artificial intelligence to monitor the movements, online activity, and purchasing behavior of every citizen—
like a Black Mirror episode.
And yet, a recent Mother Jones investigation reveals that Clearview AI is helping the Trump administration create a similar scenario.

From Palantir’s data fusion to Clearview’s face scraping and Flock’s license-plate dragnets,
a handful of private vendors now underpin everyday policing—and ICE’s deportation machine.
Sold as “public safety,” these tools supercharge surveillance, stitch together vast personal data, and evade democratic oversight.
Here’s what they are, who profits, and how we can shrink police reliance on them.

Donald Trump entered the White House last January with a promise to carry out the largest mass deportation in United States history.
While Trump hasn’t made history with the numbers, his administration’s policies have led to a dramatic surge in ICE arrests, fueled in part by private technology companies that have made them possible.
Powerful tools that collect and aggregate data, enable facial recognition, and increase surveillance have become a bedrock of American policing over the past two decades.
*****In collaboration with private technology companies, law enforcement agencies at all levels have experimented with how to implement these tools and created a large consumer market for them.
Against this backdrop,
it is essential to understand the role of the tech industry in both increasing the reach of local law enforcement and enabling mass deportations by the Trump administration.
The Trump administration has made a public show of its deportation efforts, but the technologies that make it possible have received less attention.
ICE is, for example, one of the largest customers for
Clearview AI,
a facial recognition company that has scraped more than 30 billion faces from internet sources.
Data brokers, including one owned jointly by several airline companies, are actively selling data to ICE and other federal agencies.
Perhaps most noteworthy is a new $30 million contract between ICE and Palantir to build a platform integrating data from myriad sources to provide “near real-time visibility” of migrants in the country.
Palantir is a defense contractor that builds data integration tools for law enforcement and government agencies–what one former employee describes as “really extravagant plumbing with data.”
While the company brands itself as a neutral “data infrastructure” provider, Palantir is in reality a largely unchecked force in the expansion of mass surveillance.

Trump administration to build and manage systems for the

Palantir’s “plumbing” could lay the foundation for which law enforcement agencies leverage massive troves of private information never intended for police use.
Such systems have been used on a smaller scale for years in local police agencies, enabling mass surveillance and, in many cases, exacerbating racist policing.

Special event page: Forced installation of Flock cameras
Denver, Colorado Page
WHAT HAPPENED:
On May 5, 2025, the Denver City Council rejected a $666,000 two-year extension for Flock ALPR cameras with a vote of 12-0.
[1] 63 days later, in July 2025,
Mayor Mike Johnston signed a $498,500 contract with Flock which is $1,500 under the $500k approval threshold, keeping the cameras running through October 31, 2025.
That maneuver and date range are documented by Axios[2] and the ACLU of Colorado.[3]
What the law says:
Denver Charter and City procurement rules: City Council must approve contracts over $500,000 according to Charter § 3.2.6[4].
This is Page 58, section E:
(E)
Approval of certain contracts by Council. Contracts which will require or result in the payment or receipt by the City of one-half million dollars ($500,000.00) or more,
and those in which personal property valued at one-half million dollars ($500,000.00) or more will be sold or transferred by or to the City,
and those in which a provider of services to the City will receive a percentage of generated revenues, shall require the approval of the City Council acting by ordinance or resolution, prior to their execution by City officials
Also refer to Denver's $500,000 City Council approval rule, memorandum 8A[5].
This is Page 15, section H City Council, #1, item a, subsection 1:
Contracts that may require the City to expend $500,000 or more or sell personal property worth $500,000 or more, and amendments which cause the total contract to exceed that amount
The contract was for $498,500, not $500,000.
However, the Denver Purchasing Manual says the following on page 13:[6]
"Buyers shall be diligent in preventing agency avoidance of the formal or informal bid thresholds or City Council required ordinance thresholds by artificially dividing requisitions to avoid any procurement regulations described in Article 20-64 of the Revised Municipal Code."
Colorado statutes C.R.S. § 18-8-404[7],
First-degree official misconduct: a public servant commits misconduct if, with intent to obtain a benefit, they violate any statute or lawfully adopted rule relating to their office (Class 1 misdemeanor)
What's a "benefit"?
A benefit isn't just a bag of cash under the table.
The definition of "benefit" is found in Colorado Revised Statutes § 18-1-901(3)(b)[8],
"(b) "Benefit" means any gain or advantage to the beneficiary including any gain or advantage to another person pursuant to the desire or consent of the beneficiary."
Section 18-1-901 contains general definitions that apply throughout Title 18 (Colorado Criminal Code), including the offenses in Article 8 (Governmental Operations).
The definition is broad and includes:
Any gain or advantage,
which is not limited to money or personal enrichment Benefits to other people if the defendant wanted them to benefit Policy outcomes, getting a governmental result the mayor wants Avoiding negative consequences like bypassing rejection This is way broader than "personal financial enrichment."
If Mayor Johnston saw getting the Flock contract approved as advantageous, that qualifies as a "benefit."
Case Law: People v. Luttrell People v. Luttrell, 636 P.2d 712 (Colo. 1981)[9]
"Intent may be inferred. Intent to commit embezzlement of public property, official misconduct, and theft may be inferred from the defendants' conduct and the circumstances of the case"[10]
Direct evidence such as an email from the mayor saying "I'm doing this to avoid council approval" might not be necessary.
It could be possible to prove criminal intent by inferring via the existing details.
The timing of actions, 63 days after 12-0 vote rejecting Flock contract The specificity of the contract amount, which is 0.3% under the legal limit Surrounding circumstances, same vendor and same service, just repriced This doesn't have to be a bribe; read "pecuniary benefit "For comparison,
Colorado law distinguishes between "benefit" and "pecuniary benefit".
C.R.S. § 18-1-901(3)(m) "Pecuniary benefit" means benefit in the form of money, property, commercial interests, or anything else, the primary significance of which is economic gain.
The statute uses "pecuniary benefit" when it means financial enrichment specifically.
The fact that § 18-8-404 uses just "benefit" (not "pecuniary benefit") proves our point that the legislature wanted a broader meaning of the word "benefit" in this context.
How it can apply to the mayor Under the verified statutory definition, a mayor obtains a "benefit" by:
policy benefit:
he implemented his surveillance camera policy that he believed is necessary political benefit:
avoided the political cost of removing operational cameras institutional benefit: expanding executive authority over public safety3rd benefit:
Flock keeps getting Denver taxpayer money without consent
NONE OF THIS REQUIRES PERSONAL FINANCIAL ENRICHMENT TO BE AGAINST THE LAW!
The "gain or advantage" is getting the contract approved after City Council rejected it.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!
We have to make it legally and politically untenable for the mayor to continue with his actions to extend the Flock contract past October 31st 2025.
Help with the following:
1) File complaints Attorney General complaint
https://coag.gov/file-complaint/
to file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (Phil Weiser).
Choose "Deprivation of Rights by a Governmental Authority":
Allege contract-splitting to evade oversight (C.R.S. § 31-15-712) and official misconduct (C.R.S. § 18-8-404), citing:
The Council's 12-0 rejection of the $666,000 extension on May 5[11]
The $498,500 deal in July (exactly $1,500 under the threshold) and intent to evade Council1,400+ ICE searches of Denver data[12] and potential conflict with state limits on sharing PII to aid immigration enforcement[13]
WHAT TO SAY:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding Mayor Mike Johnston's violations of Colorado law. On May 5, 2025,
Denver City Council unanimously rejected a Flock Safety camera contract, 12 no to 0 yes. 63 days later,
Mayor Johnston signed a $498,500 contract with Flock which is exactly $1,500 below the $500,000 threshold requiring council approval under Denver Charter § 3.2.6.
This appears to be deliberate circumvention of required legislative oversight, violating C.R.S. § 18-8-404 (Official Misconduct).
Additionally, this artificial division of a contract to evade approval requirements violates the Denver Purchasing Manual says the following on page 13:
Buyers shall be diligent in preventing agency avoidance of the formal or informal bid thresholds or City Council required ordinance thresholds by artificially dividing requisitions to avoid any procurement regulations described in Article 20-64 of the Revised Municipal Code."
"under C.R.S. § 18-1-901(3)(b), "benefit" means "any gain or advantage to the beneficiary including any gain or advantage to another person pursuant to the desire or consent of the beneficiary."
Mayor Johnston obtained a benefit by successfully implementing a surveillance contract that city council had unanimously rejected 63 days earlier.
Under People v. Luttrell, 636 P.2d 712 (Colo. 1981), intent can be inferred from conduct and circumstances.
The precise pricing ($498,500, which is 0.3% below the $500,000 threshold) and timing (immediately after rejection) demonstrate knowing violation with intent to obtain the benefit of contract approval."
I respectfully request your office:
Investigate whether Mayor Johnston violated C.R.S. § 18-1-901(3)(b) and C.R.S. § 18-8-404
Subpoena internal communications between the Mayor's office and Flock Safety regarding contract pricing and structuring
Review whether the Mayor's office discussed the $500,000 threshold when structuring this deal Charge Mayor Johnston if the evidence supports criminal violations
