Doesn't feel so good when we do it to them, huh? A man protesting Flock cameras at a city council meeting in Grande, Arizona, pitched his idea for one heck of an Uno reverse card. It's a company called Shepherd Safety, he said. Our mission is simple. Keep government officials and their families safe. It would be no different than how the city monitors its citizens using Flock cameras, he said. He planned to launch satellites that would use AI to monitor where government officials go, where they stop, who they meet with, and when they return home. It's a company called Shepherd Safety, and what they do is use satellite tracking data combined with data collected from cell phones, Bluetooth connections, and more to constantly monitor the location and habits of local government officials. You know, for safety reasons. Everywhere they go, everything they do, and just for the heck of it, throwing in all those details for their family members and loved ones. What cars do they drive? What restaurants do they eat at? Where do they go shopping? Shepherd Safety will figure all that out, put it in a database, and use AI to constantly monitor and protect those people. Shepherd Safety, though, isn't a real company. It was just a satirical thought experiment to freak out officials and give them a taste of their own medicine from a man named Jacob Petrosky, who also runs the website deflockcg.com, and is openly trying to remove Flock cameras from the city. And I highly recommend watching the clip of him reading this to the council. It's good stuff.
