"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.
This is a short clip from Sunday's show in case you didn't make it to the end. We had a mama fox and 4-5 kits move into an old gopher tortoise hole, about 20 yards from the chicken coop. Every single farmer I talked to told me to shoot the foxes as they're notorious chicken thieves. I chose a different route. Thankfully I have a very loud dog and lots of energy from all the good nutrition in Green Pasture's fermented cod liver/butter oil blend - so I was prepared for taking on the fox - and didn't lose a single chicken.

When we got our first set of chicks two years ago, the plan was pretty boring. Gather our own eggs right outside the house and never run out. Little did I know that chickens are wonderful babysitters, dress-up partners, art class teachers, and non-stop entertainment! We love the eggs, but as a parent of young kids, I love how much learning our kids do with chickens - while also having a lot of fun!
It does take a creative brain to think up all the ways to play with a chicken - which is why the omega 3s in Green Pasture’s fermented cod liver/butter oil blend will ramp up your chicken playtime ideas! I have been taking it for 15 years and I credit it with helping me end a chronic battle with cavities. It’s got vitamins that are important for brain, gut, hormonal and bone health - and it’s a food not a supplement. Ditch the cheap fish oils and try it.

We celebrated Lily’s 6th birthday recently. (Yes SIX!! If you’ve been part of this community since I was pregnant with her, it’s surreal how fast it has flown by!) So, what do you get your daughter when her best friend is a chicken named Carla? A chicken purse carrier of course. Now they can go on all kinds of adventures together. I hope the downtown sidewalks are ready. Honestly, I kind of think Carla likes it?!
By the way, both of my kids take the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ — It’s food, not a supplement, that’s packed with vitamins A, D & K in highly absorbable form that your body will recognize. I battled chronic cavities before taking this, and now have check-ups where the dentist remarks at the health of my teeth and gums. This happened even before I cut sugar and ultra-processed foods.
