"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.
Whoever invented tabbouleh is a genius. I started making it because our local regenerative produce farm, Growing Back to Eden, has the most beautiful parsley. I had no idea how healthy it is! Parsley is a vitamin K super green, not to mention it’s packed with so many other nutrients. It makes regular salad greens look lazy. I opt out of the bulgar wheat and just use tomatoes, onion and mint. Back when I bought tabbouleh, I’d notice it was often made with cheaper oils like sunflower or canola. I use olive oil and a dash of sea salt. It’s so easy and if you make a lot at once, it holds pretty well in the fridge for a week.

Fermented foods are not just good for people, they are great for animals. Fermenting chicken feed is so easy and it makes the grains far more nutritious. All you do is put your feed in a bucket and add water until the water covers the feed. Let it soak for 1 to 3 days and you should see it start bubbling. It’s fermented and ready to feed your chickens. You will probably have to add more water after your initial mixture grows in volume to make sure there is always a little bit of water covering the top. This prevents mold. Our chickens love their fermented feed and will leave any dry feed untouched if their fermented feed is in front of them.
We met Corona at 4H yesterday, she’s a one-eyed barrel racing horse. She had ocular melanoma and her eye was surgically removed last year. She has made a full recovery and is back to barrel racing! She has won over $400 in local competitions in just a few months with her young rider.
