Federal judge rules that Flock camera search by police requires a search warrant

The mass surveillance Flock camera system hit a roadblock when it ran into a federal judge in Oklahoma determined to uphold the 4th amendment rights of citizens against unlawful search and seizure. The judge ruled that law enforcement search of a vehicle's location over a month period using Flock requires a search warrant. Since the officer involved did not get one. all the evidence obtained from the search was thrown out destroying the prosecutor's case.

Federal District Court Judge Sara Hill described the Flock system in her order as "indescriminate mass surveillance". Hill asked "why is it the government's business where everyone goes all the time?"

I was having a conversation with a fellow veteran of the Psychic Wars (BÖC reference) the other morning and we both agreed on that the support of data centers and flock cameras will be a major deal breaker and have been deal breakers in the 2026 midterm...it's as meat and potatoes as you can get.

I completely disagree with the statement that Data Centers will lower taxes and bring jobs to the community; it's a damn sales pitch for something folks ain't buying. The average working family can't afford a $250-300k starter home in Beaufort County along with $4,000 property taxes; it's insanity and y'all know it.

The schools are shit and, again, people are going elsewhere but no one wants to really talk about WHY these trends are continuing. The autocrats are going to box themselves in a corner and then fight each other until they're all gone.
