Over the past 2 months and onward, a lot of the funds from this Patreon are going towards finding and testing security vulnerabilities on publicly-placed AI cameras. This has been extremely challenging, as these companies operate in a way where they only "lend" equipment as part of an IP agreement. Fortunately due to the absolute mess at the import docks with US tariffs, it's possible to find the rare unopened/unactivated unit auctioned off by customs and finding their way to liquidators. This glitch allows me to own the device and, if taken to particular states, do what I want with it so long as I'm not sharing intellectual property stored in the firmware. There's a lot of big news coming soon, and I'm extraordinarily proud of and humbled by what this channel is accomplishing in 2025. And it's thanks to you. 💗

Your tenacity is truly inspirational!

Xpensive_Noiz

Thanks Benn, I cant wait to see what you come up with! This is very important work and I am glad I can help support you to do it!

kseeful

let's gooo! can't wait to see an update!

William Pollak

Super excited to see what comes of this

TheOceanPony

Huh, cool! It's funny, how their "flock safety" design, reads like "Mock safety"

Escapement Dog

Awesome. I'd love to reverse engineer and security review one of those devices. You are living the life I don't have time for.

Karamba Spy

My idea for AI cameras is that camera sensors typically have a wider viewing spectrum than the human eye. So, you could use a material that more strongly reflects or blocks the wavelengths of light that humans can't see.

Hell yeah! Looking forward to it. Just found your stuff in last few weeks. Happy to support real reporting and education.

Dr Qua

Very excited to see the results of this! Great way to spend your time and efforts 💛 thanks!

Adam Hays

Ben, you’re the realest. Thanks for all you do.

Jake Barshick

That's exciting! Now I wanna know what liquidators/sites You've found. Love browsing random stuff like that.

Infosec music is best music 🎶

sex defender

i’m pumped to learn what you’ve accomplished man, keep it up!

Tekrytor

Great work Benn, ditto on can't wait for the report! Also, any updates on the sonic crowd control devices? That was also an excellent report and I suspect that it's being used more than reported in the mainstream media. Anything on the surveillance state is so important going forward. We're all really just cattle now. It's good to know how the electric fences work.

Andrew

This is awesome work! thank you!

David Bullard

Right on. You're welcome, and thank you

Javier Kohen

I never thought I'd be supporting that kind of research on your channel, Benn, but you keep up the great work. Thank you!

Supersoaker

Thank you Benn. You been a light in my light for 20 years now. Your art changed my world and now your journalism is changing the world. Thanks. I'm glad I can support these endeavors.

Inge Janse

This is great. Here in the Netherlands, we also really like camera's, but our checks and balances still work better, and the role of the market is still limited in this domain. It's amazing that you're our canary in the overseas coal mine, warning us for what might happen if we don't look out and let security and the market take over from privacy and democratic laws. Absolutely looking forward to what you're discovering in your coal mine!

Vlad

Awesome! I've been wondering for a while how the actual flock cameras react to adversarial clothing, maybe something to test?

Fan

Patreon support here is less than 1/2 of one percent of my rent to you with this effort in mind, and I am reminded that the societal meaning of money *is supposed to be like this: to support deserving missions, not just gobble up society. Thank you!

Andrew Beals

Yes, and adversarial makeup as well. From what I've read, more modern systems ignore both - and even (mouth+nose) masks are no longer effective at foiling the more advanced systems. Then there's gait analysis.

Vlad

Don't forget infrared blocking sunglasses. Regular sunglasses are transparent to these cameras

Adli

The flock camera is how I found your page. It was easy to see the effort you put in, it's the VERY least I can do to support your work. I suspect I'll be here for the long run :)

Mark Matthews

Thank you Benn. Very keen to see what comes out next.

Clayton

You keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep supporting you. It’s some of the few funds that I know I never have to think about the ethical implications of my spend. Thank you for being so transparent and trustworthy

M. Hatfield

Thank you for your continued work on things that help everyday Americans under such a rise in fascism and surveillance. 💖

Steve Sype

Wow. Been a fan and patron member for a while. Even though I’m struggling financially, I just upgraded my membership. I really appreciate the work you do. Thank you.

Yan Mundy

I'm same as Steve - my wife won't like seeing a £1.20 sub coming out of my bank each month, but what the heck your page is too frikkin interesting to pass up on!

Kirsten Athome

It was your journalism that brought me to your channel. I like your music, but I hoped for some journalistic research - this now is really awesome 👍😎

Yan Mundy

we don't have flock in UK, but thousands of cameras - you know, 'for traffic', or whatever. I've even been considering placing security cameras outside my home, since the next door's Ring doorbell stopped working when they bumped up against Amazon's new paywall..

Blackbeard

Always impressed by your genius and determination. It's a real pleasure to watch and an honour to contribute in some small way

Brendan De Leon

I hope we can find a good way to get these cameras out of our cities through this work.

Dustin Horning

I'm a software engineer by trade, and I got back into music, mostly DJ-ing in the last year, but I don't even live in the same state I used to play in back in the 00's. I was a medium to low known DJ In Atlanta. Occasionally getting paid chicken scratch for a 2 hr set.. I have no real connections where I live now. I thought, let's make some songs! Perhaps that'll land some attention! That brought me to you. But the more I watch, the more you start moving over to non-music virtual creation. Another area that really tickles my fancy. So thanks for being smart, motivated, and curious!

Michael Lowe

I give you money so you can follow your muse wherever the hell it takes you. And I never have to be concerned about any ethical/moral questions from your activities. Thank you ever so much, the way you operate is how, when I was young, I thought the world was supposed to work. In your case it does!

SpiritCreek

I have a question. Another content creator whom I want to support mentioned that I should make sure to pledge my membership and monthly support while using The Patreon website and not the IOS app because, if pledged through the IOS app, Apple takes 30% of my contribution. Is this true? Sadly, I used the app to support you and become a member of your community before I read this guy's recommendation to join via the Patreon website site. I would like to fix this situation so that you are not losing that 30% of my donation every month. Does that mean I need to cancel my membership via the app and then reinstate my membership using the website? If possible, let me know, and I will make the changes if needed.

SpiritCreek

I second what you stated in your comment above! ♥️

SpiritCreek

I agree completely. Benn Jordan, you are amazing and I admire and support your work. Steve, I am so sorry to hear you are struggling. I can relate. I am sending you positive energy.

Eli Gaultney

100% true. iOS store is the worst way to support creators you care about. Pay through the website to bypass app store cuts. Google does the same, but to a lesser extent from what I understand.

Fernando Gonzalez

Just subbed - love your work and gets me inspired to poke around and find out how things work. What made you break into putting it on video for youtube?

Knightrider

It’s been a pleasure watching you, and if you ever need help, please feel free to reach out to me. I love this stuff and am passionate about technology, so I’d be happy to assist in any way I can. Either way, I’m a huge fan and will continue to watch your progress.

Dakota

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate everything you choose to focus on, it's always an enlightening and entertaining experience.

Hey Norton

Keep up the good work Ben -thank you !

ER Karma Doc

Happily joined rather than contribute to any fund raising by local agencies and departments. Would really really love it if you could run for local or federal office and would happily volunteer time to help you in that endeavor as, I’m sure, many others would as well. #FFlock2026 (Fu€k Flock 2026)

D

Where can I find the QR code from the yt video for the plates ?

ER Karma Doc

Benn, your robot dog can’t compare to my idea of the Chicken Dome to protect flocks. Word play a bonus. Targeting laser enabled drones or cameras will be the real flock safety

Anthony Clayton

If there’s a way to donate more money I would do so , you do important work and there’s so much work to be done ! We need to invest in a cloning device to spread your efforts further :P
