About this Episode

In this episode, I get into why Governor DeSantis ordered Flock cameras off Florida's state highways, what reporters found when they looked at how officers actually use the system, and why a Texas city of 68,000 cancelled its contract after outside agencies ran 1.6 million searches through its cameras.

I also cover the 1984 comparison, China's Skynet network, and the car legislation almost nobody is talking about. Then the question this whole thing comes down to: is a little more safety worth this much less freedom?

If you want the deeper dive on the vehicle side of this, watch "Are We Living in 1984?! The Government's Plan to Surveil Every American Driver" next.
