Here’s another update for you, as always penned by Daily Caller’s Editor-at-Large Geoff Ingersoll.

Hello, Dear Reader,
It looks like we’re giving this another shot.
So, hang in there with me.
NO, SERIOUSLY, FLOCK OFF
To all Flock users and supporters,
It’s not that we don’t trust Flock. Well, maybe there’s a sliver of doubt there. The tech industry’s history with personal data collection isn’t particularly reassuring. Honestly, who has time to read those confusing user agreements? It’s not like anyone wants to pay a lawyer to dissect them either. Maybe if companies stopped facilitating fraud… but I digress.
Flock often feels like an annoying little buzz. Best case scenario, it’s like getting a $50 ticket for something you can barely remember.
In a worst-case scenario, it means police knocking on a woman’s door because one of her daughters was caught on video using a swing that broke. Seriously, the justice system is trying to prosecute little girls—12 and 10 years old—for criminal mischief. Can you imagine them sitting there, terrified, while an officer testified against them for “improperly using a swing?”
Thankfully, the judge dismissed the case involving suburban mom Katie Huss, but not before the authorities refused to even let her see the video of her own kids. Then the borough chased her for $160 in restitution, simply for her daughters spinning wildly on a swing—something every kid has done for generations.
And let’s not even start on the AI systems you plan to use with these surveillance setups. It’s clear bureaucrats would rather rely on machines than handle the work themselves.
You know, it’s something else when a suburban mom realizes in real-time that Meta’s AI has compiled an entire dossier on her family, including location searches, just because she posted a cute video of her daughter.
What you’re asking us to believe is that Flock will help catch violent criminals and locate missing children. But really, is it more about finding innocent kids to turn into criminals in the eyes of the law?
Can we at least come to a consensus that the recent trends in the justice system feel completely reversed?
The other day, roughly 500 “teens”—this new euphemism for young black individuals—stormed a Burger King without any consequence. Why isn’t anyone getting arrested? Why isn’t there any accountability for the parents? What about the guy who took the leap to open that Burger King?
Such incidents have become way too common, happening openly, often with surveillance cameras around. These kids post about their antics on social media, too. Where are their AI-generated profiles? Are the police going to show up at their parents’ houses?
The answer seems to be no.
Speaking of which, where’s Cesar Mario Juan Torres? He’s been fleeing across several states after committing a string of rapes. Can someone please track down this guy? We aren’t sure if he’s here illegally, but honestly—it’s hard not to wonder.
What we do know is this: We exist in a culture where individuals can face prosecution for their thoughts or words, just ask Shiloh Hendrix. Yet, certain people seem to get endless chances to commit violent crimes.
We’ve seen the situation unfold in the UK and Germany—constables questioning citizens about anti-immigration posts on social media.
We don’t want that here. We’ve been through the COVID lockdowns. We witnessed the so-called “summer of love,” which resulted in unchecked riots due to, well, you know who. We’ve observed cases like those of Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny.
We see where this is leading. Decarlos Brown Jr. had already committed 17 offenses before murdering Iryna Zarutska on a train. A federal panel declared him mentally “incapable to proceed” with a trial. The person who filmed Shiloh Hendrix using a slur was already charged with raping a minor. Evidence against Sharmake Omar was solid, yet the judge released him “in the interest of justice.” Unsurprisingly, he ended up on a playground filming again.
Certain individuals continue to receive justice while others do not.
Until people like Decarlos Brown Jr. face justice and those like Shiloh Hendrix do not, Flock supporters, you can take a hike.
WHAT I’M READING
We sat down with Byron Donalds. He’s in the race for Florida governor.
Local Mom Dragged Into Court For Trying To Expose Underhanded Data Center Deals. An incredibly wild story.
Somehow Voters Still Hate Democrats More Than Republicans. It looks like everyone’s losing out here.
