## Resource

As we approach America's 250th Anniversary, the gang is once again joined by Brandon, Cyber Security analyst, former gun counter employee and the guest behind our Sig P320 investigation episode. Brandon returns with a deep dive into Flock Safety, the controversial corporation behind the mass proliferated private camera surveillance system used by everyone from government agencies, local law enforcement, household name enterprises and more. The lads get into what this system is, the dangers that come with it's use, the continued erosion of American's privacy, misuse and vulnerability of these systems, other technologies currently being leveraged against citizens for spying and more! Check out the accompanying document below from Brandon with open source information for a deeper dive into this issue. All information discussed is open source and available to anyone with an internet connection, documents can be found below for reference and independent assessment. Any legal action pursued due to this episode will be met with memes. :) Flock Intel Docs and links: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gBBgtA-RIt-2YP0tZox6wqx2QdVR5labQyKJl2P_OqU/edit?tab=t.0 Check out our Guest: Brandon - ⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/bsel107/⁠⁠⁠ Check out our link tree for all of our stuff: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://brand.page/theartandwarpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow the lads on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nathan / Main Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ B.R: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram…
