A Warning to Every Town in America: This is Their Sales Pitch
Third of three articles concerning the Flock SECURITY CAMERA network.
Section 1:
The First Hit is Always Cheap
You have to see the strategy before you can see the crime. The salesman in the nice suit isn't selling your town security; he's a pusher. His product is the feeling of safety, and his whole game is to get your town hooked on it.
Like any good pusher, his sales pitch is a work of art, designed to create a dependency he can milk for years. It's built on three simple lies to make sure that once your town gets a taste, it can never quit.
⚠️ Lie #1:
"It’s a simple, one-time payment." ⛔️
▪︎ The first hit is always cheap. They know town budgets are tight, so they make the first payment look small and manageable. But the camera isn't the product; it's just the needle. The real drug is the data subscription—a monthly fee you have to pay, forever, to keep the system running. It's the classic bait-and-switch, designed to get your town addicted to a service that slowly bleeds its budget dry.
⚠️ Lie #2:
"The data is secure and just for our town." ⛔️
▪︎ Every dealer swears his product is pure. They’ll look your mayor in the eye and promise the data is safe and only for the local police department. It's a lie. They are legally obligated to share that data with federal agencies like DHS and law enforcement. They aren't just selling your town a camera; they're selling your community's private movements to the feds and violating your 4th Amendment rights in the process.
⚠️ Lie #3:
"This will stop the criminals." 🚫
▪︎ The pusher always claims his dope will take the pain away. Flock claims their cameras will solve your crime problem. But the real goal isn't to make you safe; it's to make you a permanent customer. The system doesn't just watch criminals; it conducts realtime mass surveillance on every car that drives by. It turns every neighbor into a potential suspect and gets your local government hooked on a constant stream of information they'll soon feel they can't live without.
Section 2:
It's Not a Camera. It Sees You as Meat.
But you're missing the real danger. The bad deal isn't the point. It’s a key that grants the access they require to bleed you dry.
Because behind that camera is more than just the police. It’s the giant Wall Street firms that own the entire system. And to them, you are not a person. You are livestock.
The real goal is to dissect your life in real-time. They aren't just watching you; they are pricing you. You stop being a person and become a number—a risk score that tells them how much you’re worth. It tells them if you’re too risky to insure, too poor for a loan, or a threat that needs to be watched. This is the new machinery for the Prison of Economic Terror.
They get away with it because giant corporations and the government have become one single monster: the Corporate State. A company like Flock is just one of its tentacles, reaching into your town to build your cage.
This isn't a new story. It’s the same trick the old empires used. They didn’t need an army at first. They just built a small fort to "protect" the locals. Those cameras are the new forts. They're the watchtowers of a digital plantation, and they've tricked you into building them yourself.
They are quietly declaring that your town—and your future—is no longer your own. It's just their property now.
Section 3:
Starve the Monster Before It Feeds
That cold feeling in your stomach right now?
That's not paranoia.
It's the correct response to seeing the bars of your cage. The people who built this system are counting on that fear to paralyze you. They want you exhausted. They want you to believe the machine is too big, that resistance is pointless. That is the final lock on their prison: your own feeling of helplessness.
But you are not helpless.
Your righteous anger is a weapon, and it is one of the few you have left.
They don't fear a mob. A riot is a release valve they expect; it gives them the excuse to crush dissent. What they can't survive is a disciplined army of producers seizing the assets. What they truly fear are smart, organized people who know their playbook and can dismantle their con before it even gets started.
So, here is what we do now.
You stop fighting the cameras after they're already on the poles. You fight the sales pitch before it's ever made.
This article is your ammunition. Your mission is to get it into the hands of your local town council, your selectboard, your mayor—whoever makes the decisions in your town. Find out when they meet. Look up their public agendas. The moment you see a line item about "public safety upgrades" or "security technology," you strike.
Email this article to every one of them. Post it in your local town Facebook group. Give them the questions from Section 1 and demand they answer them in public, on the record, before the pusher from Flock Safety is even allowed in the door.
Make them defend the indefensible. Be the reason the conversation in your town isn't about which surveillance system to buy, but why a for-profit corporation has any business monitoring your streets at all.
This is how we win. Not with a single grand victory, but with a thousand small, disciplined acts of resistance. You don't have to win the war. You just have to win one meeting. Starve the monster before it gets a chance to feed.
