Episode Details

Flock cameras can help police solve crimes. The hosts argue that the same network can also build a searchable picture of ordinary people's movements.
And the proposed "solution" of giving Washington more control may be even worse.

Nate and Chuck examine Flock Safety cameras, automated license plate readers, police surveillance, privacy rights, and government accountability. They discuss Thomas Massie's proposal to block federal funding for municipalities that use Flock cameras.

They also compare local accountability with federal surveillance programs, revisit the abuses revealed by Edward Snowden, and ask how this technology might have been used during COVID lockdowns.

The central question is simple: How much freedom should people surrender for another promise of safety?
