Dishonesty and Lack of Transparency from the NC State Highway Patrol Office
May 21, 2026 (Updated 5/22/2026): During the Super Bowl in February this year, Amazon ran an ad claiming how great mass surveillance was because it could help you find a lost dog if it ran away.

Understandably, the reasonable people who saw that ad were, at minimum, creeped out because they realized the consequences of a large scale AI powered surveillance network. At the time, Amazon, Ring, and Flock had a partnership. Seeing the potential growing network of mass surveillance, I had just sent in multiple records requests to various agencies to see if they had any partnerships with 3rd parties, including Flock, Amazon, or Ring.
