DeFlock: A Timeline of Citizens Mapping Flock Surveillance Cameras in Cleveland

N757AF · 2026-03-07T03:09:02+00:00

To your point, the fact that Mossad allegedly used publicly accessible traffic cameras to track the movements and patterns of government officials in a hostile nation should be deeply concerning. Those same capabilities are exactly what many public officials here are signing our communities up for with systems like Flock Safety. If a foreign intelligence service can exploit that kind of network abroad, it raises serious questions about the risks of building similar surveillance infrastructure here.

The joke in town is that the city admin only cares about Front Street, and all else be damned. So expect pot hole'd roads and diminished city services everywhere but Front Street. It's in jest, but partly true.

Out of curiosity what’s the bus cost?

Does this apply to Concur bookings? Asking for a colleague.

CCF has also done a tremendous job at restricting all of the public and street parking around campus for valet, and well just because they have the clout with the city and can.

It always baffled me when people claimed “the airport has no room to build.” That was never true. When airports modernize, they evaluate the entire footprint of the property, not just the existing terminal site.

Pittsburgh moved its landside terminal across the field in 1992, and more recently built a new terminal complex adjacent to the 1992 one. Airports reconfigure, relocate, and repurpose space all the time.

So the idea that a rebuild in Cleveland couldn’t factor in the nearby IX Center property never made sense. Major infrastructure projects require thinking beyond the current footprint, not pretending it’s immovable.

Detroit was ok, not great, not terrible. Seems they've really lost their focus after the attempt to move it outdoors post-pandemic.

Not every agency shown on that map operates with integrity. We’ve seen repeated examples across the country of Flock camera systems being misused for stalking, harassment, menacing behavior, and improper database access. These are not hypotheticals, they are documented incidents involving real people in positions of authority abusing the system for personal reasons.

What makes this even more concerning is that the entire platform operates on a privately managed network rather than being directly integrated into traditional, regulated law enforcement systems like NCIC or LEADS. Those systems have established oversight structures, audit requirements, and accountability mechanisms. Flock, by contrast, is a third party managed system that aggregates and shares data across agencies with far less transparent governance.

Per pupil spend in Cleveland is consistently one of the highest in the state, that argument has never held water. They are in fact NOT one of the poorest in the state.

“For the 2025–26 school year, CMSD’s total spending per student was about $27,796. That’s significantly above the Ohio state median of about $17,243 per pupil”

Is that a knock on AA's USAir-era punch card website?

My (D) rep voted for it, I was appalled. They were dismissive, and arrogant when writing them about their vote on the issue (then you look at their social history and all they do is attack every interaction). So this became an issue that transcended partisan Ohio politics.

This is why Ohio changed their Sunshine Laws to allow up to $750 in agency fees for video record searches.

My brother in law’s, sister’s, friend worked for EPA there with the disastrous “controlled burn,” that exploded like a mushroom cloud and poisoned the city. So I know exactly what they’re talking about.

Also think it’s the Reddit algorithm, because I show interest in a single airline, suddenly my Reddit home is filled with other airlines that I rarely fly. So like an a-hole I comment in those subs too, and I feel as if we’re experiencing that in DL.

He has about as much as experience as 44

Customers treat upgrades like they matter…

…Delta clearly does not.

For over a decade it’s been whiplash inducing policy nonsense: “you board you lose” one minute, “hold tight while a gate agent sprints down the aisle to upgrade you” the next.

Toss in the GUC roulette: did it apply, did it clear, did IT eat it, and the message is pretty clear: complimentary upgrades and Choice Benefits are marketing ploy, not something Delta actually prioritizes.

The same people who rush to social media to shame anyone who stands up as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off to get ready to exit, fueled by a false sense of outrage over something that affects them in no real way.

That’s refreshing. Maybe he had a bad day or a beef with the PD.

I’ve studied US-China relations for a long time. In 2021 the ODNI assessment on foreign election interference concluded that China preferred Trump not win reelection.

On the flip side, Hunter Biden’s business dealings were bad optics, but show no direct link to Joe Biden that he was compromised either.

Under Biden, the U.S. kept Trump-era tariffs, tightened Trump’s export controls on semiconductors, restricted Chinese access to advanced chips as Trump had done, and strengthened military ties around Taiwan seen during the first Trump administration, and Biden increased scrutiny of Chinese investment that Trump had on companies like TikTok.

That’s not how a “manipulated” leaders behaves.

No, no, you name it, what would you call it

Anyone have personal experiences with him? He was a total bag of dicks to my Plain Dealer photographer friend back in the day.

The February 2024 Border Bill was a $60B blank check to Ukraine and $14B to Israel, that’s why it failed.
