## Resource

Lurie breaks down the alarming expansion of Flock Safety's surveillance cameras, which market themselves as license plate readers but actually track individuals, creating a modern panopticon. With new terrorist watch lists targeting activists and the erosion of privacy rights, this episode connects the dots between surveillance capitalism, anti-Black policies, and the urgent need for community-controlled narratives.
