1. Just wow.

"Amazon’s Ring has partnered with Flock Safety to give ICE and other federal agencies indirect access to private home footage—without warrants, oversight, or accountability. This isn’t convenience. It’s the blueprint for a digital Gestapo.

Once, they kicked in doors. Now they don’t have to. The surveillance state is built into the front porch of millions of homes.

Through Ring’s Neighbors app, agencies can post “community requests” asking residents to share footage tied to investigations—mapped zones, timestamps, case IDs, the works. Flock’s AI systems then let them search those feeds with phrases like “man in red hoodie” or “white pickup after 9 p.m.”—bypassing warrants entirely.

The result: a privatized dragnet that erodes the Fourth Amendment pixel by pixel. ICE and other agencies now enjoy indirect access to millions of private cameras—doorbells, driveways, even interiors.

This isn’t hyperbole. The Gestapo didn’t need consent. Now they don’t need presence. They’ve crowdsourced compliance through fear, apps, and “community safety.”

Don’t invite it in."
