safety Mass Surveillance AI Camera Scandal Hits DFW Metroplex
Howdy fellow Friscoans.
We're a Dallas, Texas based nonprofit organization (HINAC) focused on the security, privacy, censorship, and surveillance implications of modern day technology being surreptitiously woven into the fabric of American society.
We're submitting this post to inform you of a recent scandal involving approximately 80,000 AI cameras being used by over 5,000 law enforcement departments across the United States of America resulting in stalking, false imprisonment, and protests.
An investigative journalist and privacy/security researcher named Benn Jordan recently discovered numerous Flock Safety Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras whose video feeds were publicly accessible online using a default administrative account, no login required.
It gets worse.
His proof-of-concept video demonstration showed how easy it was for him to use the camera's pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities and identify individuals, disclose sensitive information displayed on phone screens, and track routes of individual cars, over extended time intervals.
It gets even worse.
An anonymous person requested video footage of their own city's cameras, which the city subsequently denied. That person took their city to court and the judge ruled that since the cameras are taxpayer funded, the videos and information on them is also considered publicly accessible.
It is going to get even worse.
Amazon Ring just announced a partnership with Flock Safety and rumor has it, they are interested in acquiring Flock Safety.
Meaning, the broad adoption of AI-powered consumer technologies like Ring, coupled with city governments adopting Flock's AI-powered object recognition and large scale database integration, a first-of-its-kind Orwellian surveillance system could become a reality in the very near future.
See where and when you're being surveilled by visiting this Flock Camera Map tool provided by the 501c(3) nonprofit organization Banish Big Brother (see map image). And if you're scared afterwards, let that fear turn to anger.
Contact your city leaders and express your concerns ASAP. Make it known that we will not tolerate involuntary mass surveillance in our city, nor will we tolerate the lack of transparency and accountability from our leaders who allowed this to happen.
The sooner we stop this, the better. Let's stand up to mass surveillance together.

inquiries Proposal Spots in Dallas
Hello everyone!
My girlfriend and I moved to North Dallas this past year so I am still familiarizing myself with the area. I am looking to propose soon and wanted some suggestions on a possible spot. Ideally, I’d love somewhere that isn’t too crowded or public, with a beautiful backdrop for photos. Something scenic, romantic, and a little more private would be perfect! Currently, the Arboretum is my top choice but I wanted to see what else is out there. If it is a spot in North Dallas area that is a bonus! Any recommendations or hidden gems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

business Frisco’s walkable downtown makeover is finished after two years of construction
After more than two years of construction, Frisco leaders cut the ribbon on the city’s redeveloped downtown “Rail District.”
The $83 million project included widening sidewalks on Main Street, building a plaza with a performance stage and a five-story parking garage. The redevelopment was aimed at making the neighborhood walkable and commemorating the city’s railroad history.

inquiries Looking for Bunny Boarding/Pet Sitting Recommendations in Frisco & Surrounding Areas
Hi everyone!
I'm new to the Frisco area and looking for recommendations for reliable bunny boarding or pet sitting services during Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I have a sweet bunny, and I'd love to find someone who has experience caring for rabbits and understands their specific needs. I'm open to boarding facilities, experienced bunny sitters, or someone who offers in-home pet sitting.
I'm willing to travel to surrounding areas like Plano, McKinney, Prosper, Little Elm, or nearby cities.
If you've used a service or know someone trustworthy, I'd really appreciate your recommendations! Bonus if you can share pricing and your experience.
Thank you so much!

business Anybody ever had a hair transplant though Maxim Hair Transplants? Your experience?
I guess asking from a male perspective. I’ve been told it’s a no shave procedure, so I’m paying a bit of a premium, but I’ve been told it initially not noticeable (then hopefully noticeable when it grows out!) I know another option is Turkey, but perhaps it’s worth it to stay in the area if I know they can be trusted
TLDR anyone have experience with Maxim Hair Transplants? Or have another suggestion for a place locally that can do a no shave procedure?

community Went check out Universal Kids this weekend
I was pleasantly surprised by everything. Most importantly our 2 year old had a blast.
The park was clean and bigger than I thought it would be. Not fully immersive like Disney World, but it’s not Disney. And let’s be real: it’s for young kids. It’s perfectly good enough.
She loved all the different play areas and the live character stuff, especially the Trolls Techno dance party snd getting to meet a “real” baby dinosaur. Looking forward to going again mid-week when the weather is cooler and we can hit up the rides a little easier.
Cons: parking was weird and a little tedious. Not sure how they managed to overcomplicate parking. Also, it was still pretty warm. Not sure I’m up for going during that entire 4-6 month period here where it gets atrociously hot. Then again, she had so much fun at the splash pad.
Anyway, I had a feeling the initial reports panning the place were your typical internet/reddit negativity, and I’m glad that it seems to be the case. We will be getting yearly passes for sure.
If you have kids in the target range (2-10ish) then go check it out!

politics Keith Self says Republicans have a messaging problem. Does that include him?
Rep. Keith Self says voters aren't hearing enough about Republican economic accomplishments. Yet his recent interviews and columns have focused heavily on Sharia, political Islam and the McKinney recall.
His comments about debating Evan Hunt raise another question about how he communicates with voters.

rant Frisco is a giant, capitalistic prison with no walls designed to suck away your money and happiness
I’ve tired living in this hell hole for 5 years. I put in effort to get to know people. Got involved in church, in my kids school, tried going to the office. None of it works. 90% of people are fake, especially if they’re from DFW. It makes relationship building a bit impossible, because there’s always an air of, “I’m never going to tell you what I really think,” from people. Either that or there an entirely different culture and want nothing to do with you and your kids. The churches are also just money machines designed to “sell” you Jesus. There was literally a guy on “stage” (because why would you have a proper alter with a cross in a Christian church?) saying he left being a pastor to become a sales person. He said it was the same thing. Then the pastors get caught up in a sex scandal, and they put the church “under new management” and start things all over again.
The homes are three variations of the same design, stamped out like they were all built in the same factory over and over again. Master planned communities are laid out on a grid, sapping any randomness away from your landscape that you could’ve hoped for. Every road has a shopping plaza plaza on it for you to try to dump your money into to try to create some meaning in life, but all the foods the same bland garbage because it’s all really just processed garbage from the same Sysco warehouse. If you’re lucky enough to find a restaurant that’s not a franchise reselling cancer on a plate, they’re lucky to stay in busIness.
“The schools are great!” what schools are you talking about? The ones on a website that say theyre great, or an actual school. Have you been in a school? All the schools I’ve seen have kids flipping over desks and disrupting class so no one can learn. Pepole take their kids out of public school by 4th grade the latest if they have the money to because after that it’s even more chaotic. heaven help you if you’re of European decent and have a kid in Kindergarten or 1st grade. He or she will be the only kid who looks like him and has a last name you can pronounce.
Your backyard is three fenced in walls and a patio that’s 115 degrees in the summer. Every winter it snows and ices and the wbole place shuts down for a week because no one understands that if you put some salt on the road and a plow on your waste management trucks you could actually get rid of the ice and drive when it’s below freezing.
This place is hell. You get fooled to move in by all the great things you read about it, then you move there and can never eacape.
EDIT: for everyone calling me a racist you can all just stop. I have a membership at Costco.

business Suspicious text from Gong Cha
I visited the Gong Cha on Warren for some tea on Thursday. The next day, my mother gets a text thanking her for visiting and offering her a discount code.
She accompanied me on Thursday but stayed in the car, I was the only one who entered the store. I did not give them any phone number, and I used my own personal card that she’s not connected to in any way.
How on earth would Gong Cha know who to send a text to? I’m sick and tired of companies getting your information without you giving it to them.
I was originally going to go to TP tea nearby but you cannot go there without forcibly driving past one of the 5 Flock cameras that Academy set up (mentioned in the recent post on this sub).
Is there a way for someone to treat themselves to a beverage in this city without being surveilled or tracked in one way or another?

politics Self says this general election is different; Hunt renews debate challenge
Keith Self told NewsNation that his main electoral contest is normally the primary, but this year he is running a strong general-election campaign.
“I’m really not running against my opponent. I’m running against a general environment,” he said, citing unease over gas, groceries and Iran.
Evan Hunt argued that Republicans have held power too long to blame others for voters’ frustration. He also renewed his debate request, which NewsNation put directly to Self.
The interviews covered affordability, Trump and the still-unanswered debate question in the congressional race that includes much of Collin County.
