Flock Cameras, the Surveillance Industrial Complex, and the American Privacy Backlash
Episode 384
Wednesday, 16 September, 2026

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss the growing controversy around mass surveillance systems, especially Flock-style license plate tracking systems, and consider the extent that the issue is about cameras on street corners, or something deeper about privacy, evolutionary triggers, and how much surveillance society is willing to normalize. The guys also explore the role of corporations in building surveillance infrastructure, the line between public safety and intrusion, and why different communities may need different rules.
