Activists Develop Counter-Surveillance Technology

Activists have now built their own Flock-style network to monitor federal

vehicles, and DHS is not very happy about it.

New reports reveal that DHS is now monitoring activists who have

reverse-engineered surveillance technology to track law enforcement.

They've shifted tactics from merely destroying license plate readers to now

repurposing the technology against the state.

A hacking group known as Steganogram physically removed a Flock camera from a

roadway and copied its internal data and software.

They shared the files with journalists to expose how the AI tracking system

functions. One of them said, "Why destroy them

when we can reverse engineer

them and find the secrets of those spying on us?" At the same time, activists

have also built a counter-surveillance platform called Sparrow Map.

This utilizes volunteer-run ordinary webcams and smartphones to detect,

classify, and track federal and local law enforcement vehicles in real

time

while immediately deleting the data of civilian vehicles to preserve public

privacy. Leaked government records reveal

that federal authorities are deeply

alarmed by these developments. So now DHS is actively

tracking online critics of ALPR networks.
