DeFlock Atlanta | 4th Amendment Privacy, ALPR Awareness & Community Action in Georgia

Surveillance Infrastructure

Systems and Hardware

📍

ALPR Tracking

Mass vehicle scans build travel histories and create a "fingerprint" of your car based on bumper stickers, dents, damage, etc. It is not just reading your license plate.

👁

AI-Powered Cameras

Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera's AI will follow you when you get out of your car. The Eye in the Sky. It'll even look at your phone with you!

🎤

Always-On Audio Sensors

24/7 Audio Surveillance. The Raven will make sure your private conversations are nevermore.

🚐

No Installation Required

Mobile Security Trailers: Permitless, portable camera networks can expand coverage overnight, normalize blanket monitoring, and generate false alerts without meaningful community oversight.

💰

Data Brokers & Ad‑Tech

Everything you do will be for sale. Which park you take your kids to play, where you jog, where you worship, where you buy your guns, where you had an abortion. Getting the Picture?

Every Camera Is Now AI-Enabled

New Gateways connects public and private cameras into a single AI platform—Game Over.

The Stakes

Why It Matters

Profiles & Targeted Control

"I'm not doing anything wrong" misses the point: The AI builds a profile on everyone. It would be the most powerful marketing tool ever created. It will start subtle, then grow out of control.

Escalation & False Suspicion

Systems generate suspect lists from patterns (for example, passing a "hot spot"). How many felony stops on innocent families? Who takes responsibility?

Only Get One Shot

Once these systems are in place, it will be impossible to remove them from our lives. They know this. It's why we need to speak up now!

A Warning

The Future if We Allow It

You walk out to your car and notice a new crack in your windshield. A mile down the road, your phone dings.

"Hi John, we see you have a new crack in your 2020 Ford F-150's windshield. We pulled your VIN and Address from your License Plate and good news! We have your windshield in stock and on sale! We can send a Mobile Repair Unit to your home at, 123 Main St, between 7pm-8pm when your vehicle is usually idle. Would you like to confirm your appointment?"

What would a Windshield Repair Company pay for this level of focused advertisement?

Wait until you walk by a store and a screen appears — "Hey John, we have the ACME Kite Model XJ34 in stock that your son, Johnny, lost in a tree at West End Park. Click now for a 10% discount!"

What powers it

Vehicle scans, VIN lookups, facial recognition, AI tracking, audio recording and location histories — all combined into a single profile.

The Power of God. In a Search Bar.

But they will never sell access to our data... the whole business model is selling our data that they argue is already public!

The Business Reality

What feels convenient is surveillance capitalism. The data is sold, shared, and used against you — with your location, habits, and private moments all on the market.

Impact Stories

Real-World Scenarios

Abuse of System

DV Victims

Advocates and victims of violence rely on anonymity. Nowhere will be safe.

Deviation Flagged

Get Lost?

Turning around in a known drug location adds you to a suspect list, increasing the risk of an unnecessary stop. No Drug Deal Necessary.

Misclassification

Jogger

Running is misread as "fleeing". I think we've all seen this one.
