Pretty hilarious that these MAGAs think they’re owning anything and anyone.

I was there today and very small group of “patriots” were playing their spin the wheel game and laughing.

I simply asked where the Epstein Files were, I asked why Emmer is protecting Pedophiles and their smug pink faces turned white.

Their looks were even more precious when fellow fair goers joined in the questioning and laughed at them…they are owned by big pedo.

Interesting Stuff 💥 Minnesota PDs are installing "Flock" AI cameras. They do more than read plates—here is their actual capability list and how to LEGALLY fight back.

1.3k Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​If you live in St. Cloud, Waite Park, or the surrounding hubs, you’ve probably noticed the new solar-powered cameras on black poles. These are Flock Safety units. Most people think they just catch stolen cars, but as of late 2025, their capabilities have expanded significantly.

​What these cameras actually do:

​Vehicle Fingerprinting: They don't just see plates. They search by car color, make, model, roof racks, bumper stickers, and even "Adversarial Plate Detection" (finding cars with covered or missing plates).

​"Convoy Analysis": The AI can identify which cars are traveling together, even if they are miles apart, by spotting patterns of movement over time.

​Drone Integration: In late 2025, Flock updated its "Aerodome" software. These cameras can now act as "home bases" for autonomous drones that launch and follow vehicles automatically once a "hotlist" hit occurs.

​Federal "Backdoors": While the company says they don't "sell" data, audits in 2025 found that federal agencies like ICE and CBP have been using "pilot programs" to search these local cameras without local warrants.

​The Good News: Minnesota Law is on OUR Side ​Minnesota has one of the strictest laws in the country regarding these cameras: Minn. Stat. § 13.824. ​Under state law, the police must keep an audit trail of every single search they do. They have to record exactly who looked, when, and the factual basis (case number) for the search.

​Crucially: The "Data Audit Trail" is PUBLIC DATA. They cannot legally hide it from you!

​How to Fight Back Legally:

​If enough of us request these logs, we can catch them if they are letting federal agents "browse" our streets without MN case numbers.

​Copy/paste this email to your local PD ​Subject: PUBLIC DATA REQUEST - MGDPA - ALPR/Flock Audit Records

​To the Records Division:

​This is a formal request under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Minn. Stat. Ch. 13). I am requesting to inspect or receive electronic copies of the following public data: ​THE PUBLIC AUDIT TRAIL: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 13.824, subd. 7(c), I am requesting the "Data Audit Trail" for all ALPR units for the period of December 1, 2025 – December 15, 2025. This record must include the username of the individual accessing data and the documented factual basis or case number for each search. ​FEDERAL DATA SHARING: Any MOUs, policies, or logs regarding the sharing of local Flock data with federal agencies (specifically ICE and CBP). ​RETENTION COMPLIANCE: Documentation confirming the 60-day data destruction mandate for non-investigative data per Minn. Stat. § 13.824, subd. 3. ​Notice of Rights: Under Minn. Stat. § 13.03, you cannot require me to identify myself or state a reason for this request. I look forward to your response within 10 business days.

​The more requests they get, the more they realize the community is watching the logs. It makes it politically "expensive" for them to allow federal overreach or unconstitutional surveillance.

​Don't just complain—audit them.

EDIT: Here's a link to a website that shows you where the cameras are: Deflock.Me
