The speaker says they have been talking with people across Casagrande, and a recurring issue is safety. They then announce a new company called Shepherd Safety and describe its mission as keeping government officials and their families safe. The company says it will launch satellites to monitor Casagrande day and night using AI to track where government officials go, where they stop, who they meet with, and when they return home.
The transcript states that Shepherd Safety has already begun collecting and building profiles on vehicles, including spouses’ vehicles, children’s vehicles, and other visual characteristics. It says this information will be combined with publicly available data, Bluetooth signals, advertising IDs, vehicle information, and commercial data sources. The speaker claims that authorized users will be able to “replay the movements” of every government official and their immediate family. The transcript further asserts that the system is “no difference” than current Flock Safety capture systems. It also states that information will be stored securely and only authorized users will have access, and that data will be stored for thirty days.
The speaker says local businesses will be invited to join a network so government officials can continue being protected while shopping, eating, or traveling throughout the city. They then address concerns that the approach sounds invasive, including worries about abuse, unauthorized access, and tracking innocent people. The transcript says the concerns mirror what citizens have, referencing “eight hundred and sixty-four” people (or a similar number). It claims the system will be defended on the idea that “if you’re doing nothing wrong, you got nothing to hide,” and that there is “no expectation of privacy in public,” so tracking and uploading movements online is framed as acceptable. The transcript emphasizes that authorized users will have access and that only thirty days of data will be stored, arguing it is “no different from Flock.”
The speaker then shifts to a privacy-focused objection, saying privacy should not stop being important when the word “safety” is used, and arguing that surveillance of elected officials and their families should not be accepted “for ourselves.” The transcript states: “this is satire,” adds “I wouldn’t never do this to you. Could I? Probably. But I wouldn’t, because it’s wrong,” and continues that the speaker is “innocent” and does not do anything wrong. They say their movements are tracked and uploaded every day without permission and request that tracking be stopped.
The speaker asks for data collection to be put behind a warrant, “just like my phone records.” They end by saying they hope everyone has been having a great summer.
