"FedEx (NYSE:FDX) is sharing its surveillance feeds with local law enforcement as part of an AI car surveillance network, Forbes has reported, with two police departments sharing their camera feeds to the shipping giant's own police force.
The company has reportedly installed AI-powered cameras on its trucks made by Flock Safety to monitor its facilities. Shelby County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee and Pittsboro Police Department in Indiana have also granted the FedEx Air Carrier Police Department access to their Flock license plate readers.
The report has sparked concerns over the mass surveillance network. "It raises questions about why a private company... would have privileged access to data that normally is only available to law enforcement,"said Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst, American Civil Liberties Union.
While FedEx spokesperson Phalisha Jackson said the company does not discuss its security procedures publicly, it takes its staff's safety "very seriously."
Flock has similar arrangements with other multi-billion dollar companies, including Simon Property Group (SPG) and Lowe's (LOW), which share mall feeds with local cops to combat shoplifting.
Another major Flock customer is Ulta Beauty (ULTA), which shares images of vehicles and gunshot detection alerts with police to prevent crimes against its staff.
Kaiser Permanente, the largest health insurer in the U.S., has also shared data from Flock's license plate readers with the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, , according to the report.
Flock, valued at over $4B in an Andreessen Horowitz-led fundraising round in 2023, previously ran into issues with law enforcement over installing AI-powered license plate readers without approval."
Flock Safety, who makes the tag readers and shot sensors, is based in Atlanta, GA.
Got the pregnancy test results for our mini Jersey cross, Maisy after her second artificial insemination! Any guesses before you watch the video?!
The dairy cow pregnancy roller coaster is real. I think I was only a little more nervous finding out my own pregnancy test results. 😜 Good thing I have the great nutritional benefits of Green Pasture’s fermented cod liver/butter oil blend to reduce inflammation brought on by all the inseminating, testing, expenses and waiting. (Hint: think twice about buying a dairy cow based solely on the idyllic Instagram accounts you follow!)

I was asked by TruDave Gear to do an honest review of these boots and I have to say, I would 100% buy them. They’re affordable, comfortable with a super cushy insole, and don’t get too hot in Florida weather. I wear them to ride my horse, feed chickens, milk goats and garden. They did not pay me anything to say this. They just sent me the boots to try. These are the women’s deck boots but they have many different styles. I recommend going up a size if you’re a half-size. Check them out! https://www.trudavegear.com/
I am as guilty as the next parent of turning on the TV when I need an emergency mental health break. However, living on a farm has shown me so much about how and why screens became popular. A farm offers endless opportunities for kids to create, play games and discover the world around them. As city life became the norm, and fewer families farmed, it was no longer safe to just let kids roam around unsupervised, and screen time became the convenient babysitter. In moments where I feel the impulse to turn on a screen, I remember that I do not have to be an activities director. Kids have an innate, God-given capacity to create. On this particular day, I was feeding the chickens when I saw that they turned a hay bale into a slide. It reminded me that I can send them outside with no plan - and they will never cease to amaze me with their discoveries.
And I should add, both kids take their fermented cod liver/butter oil like champs! They have no autoimmune issues, rarely get sick and have ...

No water to fight fires in Georgia! Residents told to cut back yet data centers have no restrictions - YouTube
And don't fall for claims about low water use data centers. They use more electricity. And guess what, it takes WATER to make electricity. They're consuming water via electricity generation. It just offsets the water use to the electrical generation location.
