Former Israeli PM’s Spy Firm Now Helping Flock Cameras Roll Out America’s Surveillance Network

Hope — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was a frequent guest of Jeffrey Epstein, a financial beneficiary of the convicted sex offender, and a reported Mossad-linked confidant. Now he is connected to the Flock Safety cameras appearing in cities and towns across America.

Just a Flock camera in the middle of a golf course with zero traffic….

This is the Flock Condor Camera. It uses AI to track humans. It can pan, move, even zoom in and follow your every footstep. It specifically tracks humans across an area

— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) August 9, 2026

In March 2025, Flock Safety raised $275 million in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), valuing the surveillance company at $7.5 billion. Flock has now raised over $950 million total and crossed $300 million in annual recurring revenue.

But here’s what they’re not telling you.

Andreessen Horowitz is also backing Toka—an Israeli cyber-intelligence firm co-founded by Ehud Barak, Israel’s former PM and Epstein handler.

Toka is not a surveillance company. Toka is a hacking company. According to a 2022 Haaretz investigation, Toka’s tools allow government clients to locate networked cameras in a target area, hack into them, watch live feeds, and alter or erase both live and recorded footage—without leaving forensic traces.

“Discover, Hack, Alter”

Toka’s business model is simple. Its core capabilities are listed as “Discover, Hack, and Alter” . The company’s technology can locate security cameras and even webcams within a given range, infiltrate them, watch their feeds, and change both real-time video and past recordings.

Imagine the implications. Your alibi? Deleted. The footage that proves your innocence? Altered. And no one would ever know.

The A16z Pipeline

The connection runs deeper than money. Since 2024, Andreessen Horowitz has pivoted aggressively toward the Israeli market, hosting exclusive Tel Aviv events designed to recruit graduates from elite Israeli intelligence units—specifically Unit 8200 and Unit 81 . These units are taxpayer-funded incubators for startups that are later capitalized by a16z.

This isn’t speculation. TechCrunch reported that Toka is actively hiring a “Client Director USA” to support “new business growth within the US government market,” specifically targeting the Department of Defense and national security agencies . They’re also hiring a customer success engineer experienced with federal law enforcement.

Toka Targets U.S. Law Enforcement

Toka has publicly stated it only sells to “militaries, homeland security organizations, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in the United States and its closest allies”.

The company is listed as attending conferences in the UAE and has hired a vice president of international sales who previously worked for Cellebrite, another controversial Israeli cyber firm . In 2021, Toka was in talks with U.S. Special Operations Command and an unnamed U.S. intelligence agency.

The same venture capital firm that controls America’s largest police camera network is funding the company that can hack into them.

The Nightmare Scenario

Flock places 100,000 cameras across America, available to 5,000 law enforcement agencies . Toka can hack into cameras, alter footage, and erase evidence.

Two companies. One investor. Zero oversight.

A license plate reader on a golf course makes no sense. A people tracker on a golf course makes perfect sense—if you’re building a mass surveillance state. And when the footage can be altered? That’s not surveillance. That’s control.

As one report put it: “You could be arrested based on video that never happened.”

Flock Linked to Company That Hacks Cameras and Secretly Alters Security Footage

Hope — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Fresh concerns are being raised about the rapid expansion of America’s AI-powered surveillance network after reports highlighted an alleged connection between a major investor in Flock Safety and an Israeli cyber company capable of secretly hacking security cameras and altering video footage.

The allegations have fueled fears that emerging surveillance technologies could one day be weaponized to fabricate evidence or conceal criminal activity.

Flock Safety operates one of the nation’s fastest-growing automated license plate reader (ALPR) networks, with tens of thousands of AI-powered cameras tracking vehicle movements across the United States.

Meanwhile, Israeli cyber firm Toka has developed technology that reportedly enables government clients to hack internet-connected security cameras, monitor live video feeds, and even manipulate both live and previously recorded footage.

The reported overlap has sparked intense debate online about the risks of combining mass surveillance with increasingly sophisticated cyber capabilities.

Report Highlights Alleged Investment Link

According to Gadget Review, Bedrock Capital led Flock Safety’s $275 million funding round.

The outlet also examined claims circulating on social media alleging that Bedrock has ties to Toka.

“Bedrock Capital leads Flock Safety’s $275M round while alleged ties to Toka, which reportedly erases camera footage without a trace, draw scrutiny,” Gadget Review reported.

An X post from user @OrwellDay alleged that Flock’s lead investor also backs Toka.

However, Gadget Review noted that while Flock’s investors are well documented, publicly available evidence does not currently confirm whether those same investors also hold a stake in Toka.

“That gap between allegation and evidence is the story—not a footnote,” the outlet wrote.

Israeli Firm Reportedly Can Alter Security Camera Footage

Toka first drew international attention in 2022 after an investigation by Israeli newspaper Haaretz detailed the company’s capabilities.

According to the report, Toka was co-founded by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and retired Israel Defense Forces cyber chief Brig. Gen. Yaron Rosen.

Haaretz reported that the company develops cyber tools allowing government customers to locate internet-connected security cameras within a specific area, gain unauthorized access to those cameras, monitor live video, and alter both live and archived footage.

The publication reported that Toka works almost exclusively with government agencies, intelligence services, and law enforcement organizations.

Israel’s Defense Ministry regulates its activities.

As of 2021, internal documents reviewed by Haaretz indicated the company held contracts worth approximately $6 million with the Israeli government while seeking to expand those deployments.

Flock’s Surveillance Network Continues to Expand

Flock Safety’s controversial AI-powered camera system has rapidly spread across the United States.

According to Gadget Review, the company retains vehicle data for roughly 30 days, allowing participating law enforcement agencies to search historical vehicle movements.

Flock maintains that its system tracks vehicles rather than individuals.

Privacy advocates argue that distinction offers little reassurance because vehicles typically reveal where people live, work, worship, travel, and socialize.

Independent security researchers have also claimed that certain Flock camera hardware can reportedly be physically compromised in under 30 seconds, potentially exposing credentials and video streams.

Those findings have not been independently verified by government regulators.

Security Camera Vulnerabilities Well Documented

Concerns over surveillance systems extend well beyond any one company.

Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that internet-connected security cameras can be compromised.

In 2019, Forbes detailed how researchers successfully hacked surveillance systems and replaced live camera feeds with prerecorded footage.

Since then, rapid advances in artificial intelligence have dramatically expanded the ability to generate highly realistic synthetic video.

Cybersecurity experts have also identified vulnerabilities across numerous commercial surveillance platforms.

One of the most high-profile incidents occurred in 2021 when hackers breached cloud-based surveillance company Verkada.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), attackers gained access to approximately 150,000 cameras installed inside hospitals, schools, prisons, police stations, offices, gyms, and women’s health clinics.

The hackers reportedly viewed live feeds from highly sensitive locations, including patient rooms inside hospitals.

The ACLU warned that cloud-connected surveillance networks create centralized targets capable of exposing enormous volumes of private video if compromised.

Surveillance Expanding Beyond Fixed Cameras

The expansion of AI surveillance is no longer limited to fixed camera systems.

Gadget Review recently reported that police in Lancaster, New York, plan to begin deploying drones capable of livestreaming neighborhoods while automatically recording license plates from the air.

The program is expected to begin in September.

Combined with increasingly sophisticated AI systems, expanding surveillance infrastructure, and documented cyber vulnerabilities, critics argue the technology raises profound questions about privacy, accountability, and the integrity of digital evidence.

While the reported financial link between Flock Safety’s investors and Toka remains unconfirmed, the broader concern extends far beyond any single company.

As surveillance networks continue expanding nationwide, many observers warn that hacked cameras, manipulated footage, and AI-generated video could eventually pose challenges for law enforcement, the courts, and public trust.

Stanwood pauses Flock cameras amid public records lawsuits

Hope — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 23:59:44 +0000

A public records request for Flock camera footage has raised questions about what data is exempt under state law.

EVERETT — The city of Stanwood has paused use of its Flock cameras in light of questions over whether footage is subject to public records requests under state law.

The Stanwood City Council approved its $92,000 contract with Flock Safety in November 2024. In February, the city installed 14 automatic license plate reading cameras. The cameras were operating for about four months before the city turned them off in May, City Administrator Shawn Smith said.

In April, an individual requested all Flock camera footage in Stanwood within a one-hour window on March 30. In light of the request, the city decided in June to seek a court judgment that Flock footage either is not public record or is exempt from the public records act for privacy reasons.

Stanwood is seeking the judgment along with the city of Sedro-Woolley, which also received a records request for Flock footage from the same individual, Jose Rodriguez. The cities filed the complaint in Skagit County Superior Court.

In response, Rodriguez filed a lawsuit against Stanwood in Snohomish County Superior Court, alleging the city is violating the Public Records Act by not providing the footage.

“No exemption to the PRA requirements apply in this case and public policy favors timely disclosure, and in no way hinders disclosure, of the records requested,” the complaint read.

All Flock camera footage is stored in the Flock Safety cloud system, Stanwood and Sedro-Woolley attorneys wrote in their complaint. Cities only have access to data the officers search for, the complaint read. Stanwood and Sedro-Woolley argue that Flock footage is only public record once a public agency extracts and downloads the data. The Public Records Act states that public records include information “prepared, owned, used, or retained” by an agency.

“Requiring public agencies to generate a new search in the Flock cloud system for the sole purpose of accessing and downloading data requested under the PRA, data which the agency had not previously accessed, would require the agency to create new public records not in existence at the time of the request,” the complaint read.

If a judge decides the footage is public record, the cities argue it should still be exempt from requests under the Public Records Act. The law exempts certain intelligence information that could jeopardize the effectiveness of law enforcement or a person’s right to privacy if released.

“If the data becomes public record, that would allow nefarious actors to carry out their act,” Stanwood resident Tim Schmitt said in a July interview. “So imagine tracking your ex-spouse or a person you broke up with under difficulty, it would allow all sorts of malicious mischief against innocent individuals.”

Schmitt is a member of the Stanwood City Council and said his opinions do not reflect those of the council or the city.

State law does not explicitly exempt automated license plate reader data from public records. It does have explicit exemptions for red-light camera data. In July, Stanwood City Attorney wrote a letter to State Sen. Ron Muzzall, R-Oak Harbor, asking him to sponsor or support legislation to create a specific exemption for automated license plate reader data in the Public Records Act.

Schmitt was the sole vote against the Flock contract in November 2024. Part of the reason for his vote, he said, was uncertainty over public records laws.

“I had this doubt in the back of my mind,” he said.

Schmitt also raised concerns that the contract was too expensive, especially compared to other cities, he said. For example, Mount Vernon has six Flock cameras for a population of about 35,000 and a land area of about 12 square miles. Stanwood has 14 cameras for a population of about 8,000 and a land area of about 3 square miles.

While the cameras are turned off, Stanwood is not currently making payments to Flock Safety, Smith said.

In Stanwood, Flock cameras have helped identify a shoplifter that stole $1,000 from small businesses, apprehend a suspect in a shooting in a neighboring jurisdiction and locate an elderly person with dementia within 10 minutes, the complaint read.

The litigation comes as cities across the state and country continue to sign contracts with Flock Safety. According to the company, the cameras are operating in more than 5,000 communities nationwide. Most cities in Snohomish County have implemented Flock cameras within the past year.

In Mountlake Terrace, residents have continued to voice their opposition to the technology, citing reports of federal agencies accessing Flock data for immigration enforcement. The City Council voted to approve a contract with Flock Safety in June.

At a Sept. 4 meeting, Mountlake Terrace City Council member William Paige Jr. expressed regret for voting for the contract in June. Last month, Flock CEO Garrett Langley wrote in an Aug. 25 statement it had pilot programs with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and Homeland Security Investigations. The program was intended to help combat human trafficking and fentanyl distribution, Langley said. The company has since paused the program, he said.

“We clearly communicated poorly,” Langley said. “We also didn’t create distinct permissions and protocols in the Flock system to ensure local compliance for federal agency users. I appreciate the sensitivities surrounding local and federal cooperation on law enforcement matters, and I understand that in order to allow communities to align with their laws and societal values, these definitions and product features are critical.”

At the Sept. 4 meeting, Paige said he doesn’t trust Flock Safety and no longer wants to do business with the company.

“We all heard concerns that day — and before and after that day — from the community about making sure Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection would not have access to our data,” Paige said. “We had a Flock representative right here listening to those concerns. And yet, at that same time, Flock already had a contract that allowed those federal agencies to access data. They never shared that with us.”

Bristol residents vandalise “liveable neighbourhood” enforcement cameras before the scheme goes live

Hope — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 20:00:34 +0000

A few days ago, Geoff Thompson, host of the podcast Geoff Buys Cars, discussed a recent article, ‘Bus gate cameras for East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood are vandalised’.

The article is about “at least” two of the enforcement cameras for bus gates being vandalised. The camera lenses were sprayed over with black spray paint over the weekend, ahead of the switch-on on Monday morning, which formally started the Liveable Neighbourhood pilot scheme.

“The controversial bus gates that form the last part of the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood went ‘live’ yesterday [2 June] – but one enforcement camera had already been vandalised before it even went operational,” Bristol Live wrote.

Adding, “The gates allow bus drivers running a new bus service, motorbike riders, taxi drivers, cyclists and local drivers who have been given exemptions to pass through, but other drivers of motor vehicles could face being fined for breaching the gates.”

“Last week, new signs marking the presence of a bus gate were also vandalised with ‘No poor people allowed’ sprayed across them on Avonvale Road, but by the weekend these had been cleaned up and replaced by Bristol City Council,” the news outlet said.

Geoff Buys Cars comments on the article and highlights a few comments left under it, one of which said:

“Come on, that’s not fair. The Council said you wanted this, that’s why they did the work in the early hours of the morning, not to disturb you. Now you vandalise the cameras!! This is really not fair. The council are only looking after you, making sure it’s difficult to leave your houses, harassing disabled persons and forcing all traffic onto other roads, causing pollution to those people the Council didn’t want to help. Come on now, be fair!”

Slave AI Cameras Monitoring Us Everywhere? Big Brother’s 1984 Finally Complete

Hope — Thu, 16 May 2024 17:00:39 +0000

There’s a new technology present in most new model phones and iPhones since iPhone X that presents a more complicated kind of privacy problem. This is where devices can act as slave robots to do the bidding of an external party — someone other than the owner of the device. This can then be used to perform a deeper level of surveillance which may be impossible to escape when fully activated.
