Are there ANY local Vegas politicians speaking about about the Flock camera situation?

Are there ANY local Vegas politicians speaking about about the Flock camera situation?

Look I get it, we have a problem with unregistered vehicles.  It's dangerous & raises insurance rates for everyone.  Enforcement is loosey-goosey except for that task force thing they did awhile back to get the heat off.

But make no mistake - cars without plates is **NOT AT ALL** why these cameras were installed, & obviously aren't helping much in that regard.  They aren't just innocuous License Plate Readers.

These cameras were installed to literally spy on ALL of us as citizens (including children) in EVERY way possible, make a playbook on every individual, & to aggregate that data & sell it to anyone willing to pay.  

Horowitz family funding the whole thing to skirt the opportunity for public comment is a red flag if I ever saw one.

This is too far past facial recognition in casinos or public venues.  This is a concerted effort to record your every move, & accelerate the agenda of the surveillance state.  This has nothing to do with public safety - this is just privacy invasion in it's purest form.  

So if not about cars?  What is it about?

Induced compliance & censorship.  Protest mitigation.  An avenue to label those who disagree as terrorists & disappear them.  Y'all remember Snowden, Prism, Covid, no need to recap.

"I've got nothing to hide." Bullshit. PM me your address so I can put a camera in your backyard. Not comfortable with that? Why?

I know there are some .org's trying to sound the alarm.  But are there ANY local politicians running with this issue???

**TLDR:**  gtfo, flock.  You don't belong here.  Pretty sure this is near-universal opinion outside of bot farms.  Is there ANYONE in local gov't willing to BANG THE TABLE on this issue?  'Cause I'd really like to support that person.

>The former [LV] Metro officer said his major concern was not the technology itself, but the fact that there was little transparency on how the technology was being used or what the department's policy was on Flock usage. 

>"If you look around the country where license plate readers are being used, there's some kind of public meeting, there's some kind of public process," the officer said. "What's happening here is on a very large scale — they're putting out surveillance technology — and there's no public disclosure."

Rate my purse!

Plus doggo tax, list in comments

Usually sits in backpack (5.11 Rush24) for little fixes. Technical on-body EDC would be:

  • phone, keys, wallet (rubber band)

  • G-Shock GM2100-1AER (metal face CasiOak)

  • Cold Steel Spartan

  • Sofirn ST10 clip light

Bought a bunch of cool stuff in the past 7 yrs but embarrassed to say I neglected to buy these until just now.

Peace of mind easily worth the cost

Also potentially a self-defense distraction measure

But biggest profit is prepping for Tuesday

**TLDR: if no nefarious intent suspected,** does too much EDC automatically become suspicious or can we just just bro out on Cold Steel swords?

Obviously context is the biggest factor - guy wielding steak knife in threathening manner is different than Microtech in a pouch.

But given nothing nefarious going on -

E.g. let's say you're a Maxpedition pouch guy & see a Vanquest out in the wild (civilian), & just curious. Maybe you're both also G-Shock guys so you open the convo from there.

E.g. #2: my rear-right brake light is out, you roll me, I pull over. You ask if I have any weapons, I openly say I have a Leatherman in my pack, you take it & throw it on the trunk.

Either way we somehow end up talking about flashlights

But then while just talking EDC gear, you see in my pouch: security bits, cat's paw, traveler's hook, etc. No serious lockpicking gear but also no explanation for why I need these tools. (tools are clean & appear new)

"I just watch too much youtube"

Is this an acceptable explanation? Even if compliant & forthcoming, do these things just automatically fall under "burglary tools"? Even if no burglary was committed?

No crime committed, just think a 4" mini halligan is cool. Obviously I'm not taking down a vault with it.

Would you be cool with it?
