ColdCard Hack, Candace Debate, Deflocking America - LL#189
The short version: Peaceful Sea's roundtable with Cat Hartley touches on "deflocking" and digital privacy, a reminder that grassroots pushback against ALPR surveillance is going mainstream.
Our Take
We appreciate any show that puts "deflocking" in the same sentence as hardware wallet security and digital privacy — it signals that everyday people, not just policy wonks, are starting to connect the dots between financial surveillance, data breaches, and the license plate readers quietly logging their movements. Credit to Peaceful Sea and recurring guest Cat Hartley for giving the topic airtime alongside the week's bigger headline-grabbers.
What a livestream roundtable can't always do is dig into specifics: which agencies are running Flock cameras, how long your plate data sits in a database, or who gets to query it without a warrant. That's the gap we try to fill. If this conversation got you curious about what's actually watching your car in your own town, check our camera map to see what's nearby.
Talking about "deflocking" is step one — doing something about it is step two. If you're ready to push back against unchecked ALPR deployment in your community, our take-action page has concrete steps, from records requests to city council testimony.
