Benn Jordan discusses his discovery of vulnerabilities in Flock Safety's surveillance camera network and the implications for privacy and local elections.
Rick sits down with BENN JORDAN, the musician-turned-security-researcher who did what Flock Safety said was impossible: he found their "unhackable" license-plate camera network wide open on the internet. Benn walks Rick through how he stumbled onto unmarked cameras near his home in ATLANTA β the most surveilled city in America β and ended up exposing passwordless feeds, a data-retention policy that's basically a LOOPHOLE, and a new tool called Flock Nova that cross-references your location with criminal records and open-source data. This isn't a left-vs-right issue β Benn breaks down why gun owners AND privacy advocates are equally furious, why local elections are turning on this exact fight, and why the whole business model might not survive a serious Fourth Amendment challenge. If you've driven past a camera you didn't notice, THIS episode is about you. β’ β’ β’ β’ β’ You can find Benn Jordan on: YouTube : @BennJordan X : @bennjordan Instagram : @bennjordan Mastodon : @bennjordan@mastodon.social Rick Wilson is on X @TheRickWilson, Bluesky @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and Substack at therickwilson.substack.com .
