Hey, everybody, how's it going? Hope you
have a lovely day. Welcome to today's
episode of Are You Getting [ __ ] I'm
your host, Louis Rossmann. On this
channel, I've talked a lot about Flock
cameras. They are known as automated
license plate readers, but they're not
really automated license plate readers.
They're actually cameras that have very
advanced AI in them that tries to figure
out who you are, even if you have that
license plate taken off of the car. They
are listening for gunshots. They also
listen for human voices. It's very, very
creepy. They're being put up everywhere
in many different cities. They give the
city employees the ability to tell where
you are at any point in time. It logs
this information. It is accessible
without a warrant by any So, you have
really no way of getting around this if
you use public infrastructure, use
public roads to get around. And one of
the things that I've said about this is
that it's going to continuously get
worse if you allow this to continue. And
it looks like it has. Welcome to LSAG
Signal Trace Intelligence System. So,
the way this works is your devices and
your car, those stuff that you carry
around with you every single day, have
data and have little things that they
give out about them. I'll just give you
a very, very basic, oversimplified
example. Cybersecurity people, please
don't like rip this too much to shreds,
but yeah, I'm just trying to get the
idea across. Is Let's say you have a
phone.
Let's say I tell the phone to connect to
Wi-Fi. Now, if I go away from my Wi-Fi
network, let's say it's always looking
for the Wi-Fi network of my house. So,
now I have a device that's always going,
"Where's Louis's Wi-Fi? Where's Louis's
Wi-Fi? Louis's Wi-Fi here?" Somebody
else can pick up that there's a device
nearby that is looking for that
particular Wi-Fi. And they may be able
to pick up certain things that are
emitted from my device
if I forget to turn certain things off.
And they can use that to fingerprint you
and figure out, "Oh, well, the only
person who ever passes by here who's
looking for this Wi-Fi is Louis. So,
even if his car's license plate is
changed, or even if he's in a different
car, there's probably Louis's phone in
there." And they can use this type of
information to figure out who you are
and where you're going. And that's what
this company does. "Identify suspects
through the electronic devices they
carry. Signal Trace is an advanced
signal intelligence system that enhances
traditional automated license plate
reader capabilities by detecting and
correlating nearby electronic devices
with vehicles of interest. It bridges
license plate recognition data with
sensor captured device identifiers, such
as those for mobile phones, Bluetooth
wearables, and vehicle systems to create
a unique trackable electronic
fingerprint for investigative use. When
multiple devices constantly move
together within a vehicle, Signal
Trace's algorithms link them to that
vehicle's license plate and timestamp
location data. This correlation provides
investigators with another layer of
actionable intelligence. Even if a
suspect changes or removes a plate, they
have a patent for a systems and methods
for electronic signature tracking.
Signal Trace correlates license plates
to a variety of identifiable device
types including mobile phones, tire
pressure sensors, vehicle hotspots,
wearables, watches, fitness trackers,
security and safety sensors, tablets and
smartphones, wireless headphones,
infotainment systems, laptops, and
you know, you can name some of your
Bluetooth devices. You can name
Oh my god.
This is making such a good argument for
using wired headphones. Wired
headphones. Elsag EOC plus capture
device frequencies emitted into the air.
It does not decrypt or capture the
contents of the devices or their
communications. Oh, it doesn't capture
my communications. It's just used in
tandem with other pieces of hardware
that are put up that violate the Fourth
Amendment by allowing the police and
city employees to figure out where I am
every single second of the day.
And they just combine it with little AI
systems so that even if I take my
license plate off, they just know that
it's me. Then they're not very far
[clears throat] off from being able to
use it to profile people to say, I don't
know, where do people that voted for Ron
Paul in 2008 and 2012 congregate on a
Wednesday night at 9:00 p.m.?
At what point are people just going to
show up at their city council and town
halls and say, [ __ ] this [ __ ] get this
the [ __ ] out of my city or we're going
to start cutting it out ourselves.
I really
I have seen pushback against this, but I
have not seen the amount or the level
that I would like. And I have this fear
that this type of stuff is not going to
get pushback against in a serious
concentrated way until
it's too late.
In Colorado, I already did a video on
how a gentleman gets pulled over every
single time he passes one of these
cameras because they have the wrong
arrest record. So, apparently I forget
if it was something like a lowercase or
versus an uppercase or like a a versus
an O or some [ __ ] like that. But because
of that error, he gets pulled over by
the police regularly. And the most
[ __ ] up part is they won't even tell
him who they think he is. They will say,
"Okay, I'm sorry, sir. This is an error.
This warrant is not for you." But, he
never knows. Are you chasing somebody
because they stole a Snickers bar from a
7-Eleven, or are you chasing somebody
that you think is Richard Kuklinski, the
Iceman? Because if you think that you're
chasing Richard Kuklinski, the Iceman,
then you you you think that this warrant
is out for somebody who has two or 300
murders, you might treat that person
differently. And if I knew that my car
was a car that you think belongs to a
mob serial killer,
that's dangerous for me. Because the
police are going to react differently
based on what they think you did. And
they won't even tell this man what they
think he did.
This man, who the police admit is not
accused of a crime, is not guilty of a
crime, is not suspected of a crime, is
pulled over regularly because the stupid
[ __ ] clanker in the database thinks
that he is somebody he is not. This man
says that he used this system to stalk
his ex because he was sleep deprived.
Why is this [ __ ] still here?
They're actually going to try and bring
this [ __ ] back to Austin, Texas very
soon. They're going to do everything
they can to try and install these
cameras even though they were taken out
earlier.
I hope everybody shows up against this.
You do not have to be anti-police to
think that this is [ __ ] weird. I have
never come out on this channel and said
that I am universally against the
police. I do not have an ACAB sticker on
my car, anything like that. That's not
me.
But, this is [ __ ] weird. This is
about so much more than Democrat versus
Republican or a back the blue bumper
sticker, anything. This is something
different altogether, and it's [ __ ]
weird. It's [ __ ] creepy, and it's not
something that I think you should be
paying for with your tax dollars. Let me
know what you think in the comments down
below.
What would you think if your city or
your police department announced that
they were going to start using this
technology to try and fingerprint
everybody who goes by
all the time
based on the wireless signals that your
devices emit? I don't want to just have
devices that don't emit anything
wirelessly. I want to have devices that
it just emit random [ __ ] wirelessly.
Sometimes I think we're at a point where
there's no turning back on any of this
stuff, and the best thing to do is not
to try and minimize the data that gets
collected, but maximize the amount of
junk data that we emit just to confuse
and [ __ ] up the system and make it
useless.
Let me know what you think in the
comments down below. That's it for
today, and as always, I hope you learned
something. Also, another last-minute
notice, I am this Tuesday, on the 23rd,
I'm going to be in California to attend
this hearing. This is a hearing at 9:30
a.m., room 2100 in the bill I don't know
if that's
1021 O Street or 1021 0 Street.
I guess I'd be just like that that
sheriff in Colorado that got the wrong
guy in the flock cam. But in all
seriousness, I'm going to be here on
June 23rd in the morning, and we're
going to be talking about this anti-3D
printer bill, where they're going to try
to put blocking technology in all 3D
printers to stop them from printing
firearm parts. This bill is going to try
and make printing certain shapes
illegal. They're going to try to imply
intent to a shape. This bill would
destroy the idea of being able to have
an open-source 3D printer. Because if
you mandate blocking technology be
installed inside of a 3D printer, then
you can't have a 3D printer that's based
on open-source software anymore. And if
your 3D printer is no longer based on
open-source software, it would allow the
manufacturer to do things like say, "Oh,
we've released a new update. If you want
to be able to print more than three
things a day, you have to pay a
subscription." Because you wouldn't be
able to leak the code that isn't a
certified printer. I have written
several wiki articles that may be useful
for you to bring by. We have a bunch of
evidence that many people from the 3D
printing community have contributed.
Something like this, the evil Glock
switch, fully automatic conversion
device, easily detected by algorithm.
The same device with an added
superfluous geometry, which the user
simply removes following printing,
making detection by an algorithm
basically impossible. We've gone over
how this Glock pistol that's fit with
this specific rear back plate looks very
similar to a hot shoe mount for a
camera.
Silencer for a gun looks just like a
flashlight.
Cordless drill grip looks like a gun
handle. This law is so stupid in so many
ways. The best way to ensure that this
type of crap does not spread to the
entire country is to get as many people
to show up as possible. Remember that
Bloomberg is behind this. Bloomberg is
funding this. He has given 50 to over
$50 million
to the group that is pushing this
garbage all over the country and don't
let him win. Even if you don't care
about 3D printing, do it for the sake of
freedom.
How many of you are pissed off that
Gamers Nexus got the Gamers Nexus and
video documentary pulled? If you're
still mad at that,
show up in Sacramento on Tuesday
morning. I'll be there. I'll be filming.
I'd like to talk to some of the people
that are showing up and I would like to
get as many people as possible to make
their voice heard. I need you to show
up. I need you to show up well dressed,
well groomed, well spoken. Be
professional, be courteous, be polite,
but be informed. Don't assume that you
have to be an expert in order to push
this stuff through because again, the
people that are pushing this through are
so [ __ ] ignorant that they actually
believe that banning shapes is a thing.
Trust me, they're not a [ __ ] expert.
And whatever experience you believe
you're missing that would not make you
qualified to show up at an event like
this,
you are more qualified than the people
showing up in favor of this bill. I
guarantee you that. That's it for today
and as always, I hope you learned
something. I'll see you in the next
video and I'll look forward to seeing
you on Tuesday.
Next. Bye now.

Louis Rossmann discusses the growing concern over privacy-invading technologies, specifically Flock cameras and 'Signal Trace' systems that track individuals via electronic device emissions like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals. He highlights the dangers of these automated systems, including false positives that lead to wrongful police interactions. Additionally, he urges public opposition to proposed legislation in California that would mandate blocking technology in 3D printers, which he argues would destroy open-source hardware and enable corporate control over user devices.
