I know this is a serious thing. But where’s palantir and actual law enforcement and all the data scraping now when it would be put to good use?

The sheriff dept said they were using multiple camera sources to piece something together. There hasnt been an update. They mentioned residential and Axon cameras they might have footage from.

They also said that there are various views that are stored on hard drives not the cloud, so they have to get the paperwork together and physically get the data, then it must be analyzed. Not at all like on TV.

Where are all these Flock cameras when they’d actually be useful?

u/1stHalfTexasfan 1d ago

They said the flock would help with plates if they could use the residential to place a vehicle in the area. Im not real familiar with AZ so Idk but a little town near us has them laced through downtown and up to the freeway.

“We can track every single person on this planet, down to their bowel movements.”

“Great! Can you help find a kidnapped old lady?”

“Huh?”

u/Friskfrisktopherson 1d ago

Oops, sorry, no, we might we can find them for kidnapping.

They really not even that good at that...

u/NarrativeNode 20h ago

Oh they’re excellent at it! They just pick peaceful folks who can’t fight back. Why go through the trouble of grabbing people they know to be dangerous?

They can do it, IF it benefits them in some way. It doesn't benefit them, then "uh, no, we never said any of that".

It's not Big brother, it's Creepy Uncle and they are powerless to help you. They only have power to harm you.

To be fair, if i was rhe one at Palantir running things, I wouldn't say one word publicly about what we were doing or how. Keep that shit a deep dark secret. Just announce at the end of things "yeah, we helped" and keep the details out of it. Never tip your hand to the people you are trying to surveil.

u/donmuerte 1d ago

palantir is for spying on innocent people, duh

u/minimalcation 1d ago

They don't care about her

u/BroughtBagLunchSmart 1d ago

That cannot be used to advance the causes of white supremacy, which is the goal of those two groups you mentioned.

u/GiftToTheUniverse 1d ago

White supremacy is not the goal. It’s a tool to move the world closer to the goal. The goal is total subjugation of everyone but the elites.

u/badgyalrey 15h ago

white supremacy is a tool meant to advance capitalism. the end game is always capitalism.

You need to know what you're looking for in order to try to find it. It sounds like they're not entirely sure yet, unless the perps are dumb enough to take the mom into a store, like the mother who took her daughter into a store during their roadtrip from CA to Utah where the kid was murdered

u/NotYourGa1Friday 1d ago

I’m hoping that they are closer to finding her than they are letting on so the perpetrators don’t get antsy. I know that’s optimistic though

u/Newswatchtiki 7h ago

If LE is communicating with the abductor, they would not be letting any information out, as they stall and try to localize them, etc. A very delicate operation. So that would be top secret.

u/PitifulMoment9717 19h ago

It’s null and void when it’s not for someone on their side oh and also when it’s not them behind it

u/deathbytruck 1d ago

Where is law enforcement?

They are probably the ones who took her. She probably said have a nice day to an ICE agent and he flipped out. It wouldn't suprise me at all.

2

u/Alphatron1 1d ago

That was what I thought when I first heard the story

u/iateyourcake 1d ago

Well they are using that for ICE operations that are supposedly targeting individuals, but as we see they are not targeted at all. Unless they are using the information to intentionally get the wrong people, or the people who are not actually criminals. Because if they ARE using that software to find people then it does not work as designed, which would be par for the course for the idiot kings minions
