Flock Cameras and AI Prison Planet

Our Take

Cosmic Archaeology's framing leans heavily into big-picture conspiracy territory, and we can't vouch for every claim tied to that broader narrative. But strip away the "prison planet" packaging and there's a kernel of something worth taking seriously: a nationwide network of AI-powered cameras quietly logging where you drive, when, and how often, with little public oversight and even less public consent.

That's the actual, documented reality of Flock Safety's ALPR rollout — not a hidden cabal, just a private company selling automated tracking infrastructure to thousands of police departments and HOAs, often with minimal transparency about retention, sharing, or audit trails. You don't need a grand theory to be unsettled by that. The mundane bureaucratic version of mass surveillance is arguably scarier precisely because it's boring, normalized, and funded by your own city council.

We'd rather people get engaged through hard documentation than through vibes, so check our camera map to see what's actually been deployed near you, and hit take-action if you want to push back with public records requests and council meetings instead of just commentary.
