So what would prevent a person, not I of course, from driving with a digital scrambler?
The more shit changes, the more it stays the same.
I've been preaching, seemingly forever, to do away with the idea of privacy, as in vpns, and simply overload the system with false information. All of us, supplying billions of false digital identifiers, can never be tracked because it would never stand up to scrutiny.
Just be careful, things like Communications Act of 1934 can rack up fines of ~$16,000 per violation/day and paired with flock they know exactly who you are, and who is causing it, and no doubt they will come after you!
Leonardo is a longstanding Italian Defence contractor.
This may add illumination to the Meloni drama...
Going back perhaps fifteen years there has existed the technology to fingerprint passing vehicles by their bluetooth emissions. Likely wifi too.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that those bluetooth handsfree devices were developed as a means to push the "no handheld electronic devices rules thereby allowing pre bluetooth/wifi equipt vehicles to be caught by the digital net.
Remember those mostly came out under obummer along with cash for clunkers.
For those who hate AI. I don't care. Please ignore.
THE FLOCK RECKONING
The short version: Flock — the company with license-plate cameras on poles in 12,000-plus communities — is getting hit from two sides. Cities are canceling it legally. People are physically destroying the cameras. And the story has flipped from "catches criminals" to "tracks everyone."
LEGAL PUSHBACK
50-plus cities across about 20 states have dumped or rejected Flock, most in the last six months. Santa Cruz killed it. Lynnwood killed it seven months in. Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Ithaca, Bandera TX, Mountain View — gone. Cleveland's committee rejected it in June. Denver is ripping Flock out and switching to Axon after the city auditor refused to sign, calling it a liability.
States are writing laws: Washington (SB 6002), Illinois, Montana, Virginia. The ACLU is hammering the data-sharing terms.
The thing that lit the fuse: Flock's network was feeding ICE. A University of Washington report and audit logs showed CBP and Homeland Security tapping the cameras. An officer in Texas ran a nationwide Flock search for a woman who had an abortion. Ring cut its partnership in three days after the backlash.
ILLEGAL PUSHBACK
People are cutting the cameras down, coast to coast, red states and blue. Eugene/Springfield OR — six poles cut, note left behind. Suffolk VA — one guy destroyed 13. Oakland — paint-bombed. La Mesa CA — two smashed right after the council voted to keep them. Illinois, Connecticut, Cathedral City — cut, smashed, stolen, even shot. The irony: cops catch the vandals using the surviving cameras.
WHY IT TURNED
The "crime-fighting" frame is breaking. ICE data-sharing, the abortion search, and mission creep did it — Georgia even ticketed a guy for holding a phone, citation reading "CAPTURED ON FLOCK CAMERA." Once people see "tracking machine" instead of "safety tool," it doesn't reverse.
THE EXPANSION — TWO COMPANIES, DON'T MIX THEM UP
Flock's move: Nova. Plates to people. It pools data brokers, public records, even breach data so a cop jumps from a passing car to the owner to their relatives. Flock employees objected internally to using hacked data.
Leonardo's move (the "da Vinci," the "super Flock"): SignalTrace. Plates to devices. It scrapes the signals your phone, tablet, wearable, AirTag, and car electronics broadcast, and ties them to the car on camera. 404 Media broke it this month. Leonardo got the patent two years ago. Their dodge: it "captures device frequencies emitted into the air" and doesn't read contents — which is how they skip wiretap law while still logging where everyone goes.
THE ELECTION-FRAUD SHADOW — LEONARDO
Separate from the cameras: Leonardo is the company tied to the 2020 election-interference allegations (Italygate — military satellite capability used to flip votes from Trump to Biden). The claim is real and named — it points at Leonardo specifically, and it's still live. Trump put it back in the spotlight on March 31, 2026.
Leonardo denies it, and the institutions with the most invested in the 2020 result waved it off. But waving it off is not the same as answering it. There was never an adversarial proceeding — no discovery, no testimony, no evidence tested in open court. The question was dismissed in statements and press write-ups, not resolved on the merits.
That's the whole point: "case closed" is a posture, not a verdict. The reckoning never ran. And that's an argument about process — which is exactly why it can't be swatted down as a conspiracy claim.
BOTTOM LINE
Flock takes the heat. Leonardo has worse optics — unresolved election allegations plus device-tracking that makes plate-reading look quaint. Flock builds the people layer, Leonardo builds the device layer, same endpoint: total searchable tracking. The whole market hit its reckoning phase. For the cameras it's already underway. For Leonardo's election question it hasn't started — but this is exactly the climate where buried questions get dug back up.
Every time you drive past one of these upgraded cameras, the sensor sweeps up the unique electronic identifiers of every device in your vehicle. Your cell phone. Your smartwatch. Your wireless headphones. Your fitness tracker. Your laptop. Your tablet. Your car's own infotainment system. Your tire pressure sensors. Your vehicle's Bluetooth hotspot. And your pet's microchip.
I don't have any of those devices with me as I travel and my pet stays at home.
I’m a little skeptical of her claims because the pet chip thing is nonsense. Those are passive chips that don’t emit anything until a specialized scanner is maybe a foot away. Also, if your laptop or tablet is off or asleep, it’s not emitting any signals. The other items could be tracked, though.
I remember the "conspiracy theory" that Leonardo's satellites switched votes in the 2020 election. Make sure you check this with AI, so you'll know that these are "unsubstantiated allegations".
I have one thing to say..... Orwell 1984
There will come a day, when the Awakened Veterans the decide it is in the Nation's best interest, to remove this Evil from the Nation.
That’s what we need, I am afraid to say that we are all in big trouble. Bible prophecy is currently at work.
Leonardo... the SAME RETARDO involved in the 2020 STEAL!
Now THAT'S EyeTalion!

How is everyone not doing it already by now?!
We've been sold a bill of goods as usual.
Promising privacy when they know it's simply not feasible. You can never truly be anonymous if you're trying to hide your data.
Anonymity comes from disinformation.
smartest thing ive read in years.

Good catch!!
As if they haven’t already been doing this for decades now
Duh
Leonardo?
Named for the painter of the Mona Lisa, whose eyes always seem to follow you?
VERY Astute OBSERVATION!!!!!!
Da Vinci Code?
More of a Big Brother thing.
Have you ever seen the DaVinci concept drawings of things like helicopters?
Just drawings. He never got it to actually work, not even a functional prototype.
Yep but that is why the firm used the name
The “eyes follow you” thing is basically b.s. There’s no special trick or ability to make a two-dimensional image do that.

Thanks for the write up. Ultimately this company, as a foreign entity, carried out an act of war, which lead to a coup of the American government.
Meloni needs to get this sorted.
And the AI of the Beast is revealed! They will know everything you do, say or go.
Big Brother knows where we are every second of the day.
Go fetch a bag of dicks, BiG bRoThEr!! Don't you sucker have anything else better to do?!

Put your phone in a tin foil wrap when traveling in your 1970's car.
I've never had one. If you gave me one, I wouldn't know what to do with it.
nothing will stop what they have coming the future is so depressing .
Mixed feelings on this one.

I have one question. What do we about it?
There's really only one thing you can do. Find the sensors and destroy them.
