"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.
Today we went to meet a potential suitor for Maisy cow. He is a two-year-old mini Highland bull. His name is Moofasa. We have tried artificially inseminating Maisy with expensive and high quality mini Jersey bull semen but to no avail. Thus, we have been looking for the real deal and a friend introduced us to Moofasa’s owner. It looks like a good match but then again we are sort of at the “love the one you’re with” stage at this point. What do you think? Highlands are very “in” right now and I’m sure the calf will be very cute. Speaking of cute kids, one result of vitamin D deficiency in today’s kids is poor dental health including jaws that don’t properly fit a full set of teeth. This is one reason my kids take the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which is packed with Vitamins A, D & K. Use “ALISON” as your promo code at checkout and get 10% off.
Dairy farming is next level insanity. Someone asked me recently, where we would have to go to get raw milk if we did not produce it here. I said “our friend delivers right to our door.” She said “why do you go through the trouble to do it yourself then?” I did not really have a good answer. 🤣I suppose it’s mostly because we love raising our kids this way, learning about where their food comes from and developing relationships with the animals. There is great value in this way of life, even if it makes no sense financially.
And speaking of the benefits of dairy, it is one of the best sources for vitamin K2, which you need for your bones to absorb vitamin D. That is why the fermented cod liver oil from Green Pasture is also mixed with a concentrated butter oil. Without the two together, you don’t get as much from either, which is why many fish oils are a waste of money. So go check out https://www.greenpasture.org/ and use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off.
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!) If you want a real food, not a supplement, to give your body a boost, go check out https://www.greenpasture.org/ and use “ALISON” as your promo code at check out for 10% off. They have lots of great stuff! I take the cinnamon tingle flavored gel for the cod liver /butter oil.
