"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.
Our truck tailgate is busted and won’t go down, so unloading 100lbs hay bales yesterday was a little more challenging. Not to mention, Jack hid my hay hooks. That said, I decided I earned an extra slice of fresh-milled bread! If you want to be strong like an ox, get yourself some of the great prducts sold by Green Pasture - including the cod liver/butter oil we take daily for dental, gut and immune health. The skate oil is also great - and was recommended to me by someone who said it significantly helped with her nightly sleep. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at checkout!

Sassy’s dentist came to our farm in her super cool mobile office. She had some sharp edges smoothed down but otherwise got a glowing report. The file Dr. Darrow used is apparent made of diamonds? I think I’m remembering that correctly. Only the best for my best bud! Sassy still has all of her teeth at 33, which is like 93 for a human. She must take the cod liver/butter oil from Green Pasture! If you want teeth at 93, go get some. Don’t forget to use “ALISON” as your promo code at checkout for 10% off.

I walked out around dusk to find our rooster, Hei Hei, in the mouth of a fox after what appeared to have been quite a struggle on his part. I sprinted as fast as I could, yelling like I was on fire, and the fox let go. Miraculously, Hei Hei walked away, though he lost quite a few feathers. It took him less than 12 hours to go back to sneak attacking me. No good deed goes unpunished! If you’re fighting off foxes, gain that extra few seconds for help to come by taking your cod liver/butter oil! https://www.greenpasture.org/ Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off.

I do consider hydrophonic products as real food. And I do support telling people how their food was made.
Anyone who wants to avoid hydrophonic. Should accept that you will not have certain food in your region. Because most US regions do not support the natural growth of many products.
