Episode 1669: Malpractice

Revenge Of The Cis · 2 months ago

The short version: Revenge Of The Cis riffs on 'malpractice' in a talk-show format, and the theme of unaccountable power dovetails with how Flock Safety's ALPR network operates with little oversight.

Our Take

Revenge Of The Cis isn't a surveillance-beat channel, but their latest episode's framing around 'malpractice' lands squarely in territory we track every day. Whether the hosts are talking about institutions, professionals, or systems that fail the public while facing zero consequences, it's the same pattern we see with Flock Safety's license plate reader network: a private company quietly wiring up thousands of communities with cameras, selling access to law enforcement, and facing almost no independent audit of how that data gets used or shared.

That's the through-line worth pulling out of casual commentary like this — 'malpractice' isn't just a medical or professional term, it applies anytime an entity with power skips accountability because no one's forcing the issue. ALPR vendors have built a surveillance layer across the country that most residents never voted on and can't opt out of, and local governments often sign contracts without public hearings or data-retention limits.

Credit to Revenge Of The Cis for keeping these conversations going in whatever form they take.
