"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.
ICYMI: My podcast was included in a free speech case that alleged the Biden administration was coercing Big Tech to censor. The Supreme Court has denied the injunction in place for Missouri V. Biden on standing, however, saying the plaintiff's did not prove they suffered injury from censorship. This is a clip of the livestream I did with Steve Poikonen of the AM WakeUp show.

We got a direct lightning hit yesterday and we are lucky our house didn’t catch fire. However it did kill the limping Internet. (Along with several other appliances like the washer and TV.) So I haven’t been able to do a livestream or upload clips. Never fear though -- we HAVE been able to secure 2 ducks!
I met a local vet at a nearby dairy today to get some minerals from him. I drove through the gate and past thousands of acres of lucious green grass thinking, “what a beautiful place to raise cows!” But that’s not where the cows live. And the grass is harvested as hay then shipped to feed someone else’s animals. What an interesting food system we have…
Ashley Armstrong with Nourish Cooperative in Michigan joins me tomorrow to discuss this article she wrote. Nourish Cooperative sells raw dairy products along with grass fed/finished meats. According to Armstrong, they were forced to dump nearly $100,000 worth of food. ANY QUESTIONS?
