Axon Light Pole Cameras
This little post is about the Axon Light Pole Cameras that seem to be the next wave of easy to install surveillance cameras that are going up in the city in which YOU live. And a little bit about the Flock cameras.
As if the FLOCK cameras are not bad enough invading your privacy, “In the Name of Safety!” From the Flock website:
“Flock FreeForm expands on Vehicle Signature by going beyond preset filters, enabling searches based on everyday language, such as “white sports car with a racing stripe” or “red pickup truck with a dog in the bed.” It helps agencies and businesses find the exact vehicle they’re looking for fast. Flock’s Enhanced LPR upgrade amplifies your LPR system with advanced analytics, real-time insights, and tools for multi-jurisdictional collaboration—making it easier to detect plate swaps, uncover organized crime, and connect cases faster.”
And, already, there are cases of Police/Sheriff personnel abusing the data, such as the Atlanta/Green County deputy arrested and fired for misusing Flock data. Or, the Albany, NY case of five officers misusing Flock data. I’m sure the list of unknown abuses is massive, just not yet discovered. And this is all for YOUR SAFETY. There are several websites that identify Flock cameras for informational purposes.
Now these Axon Light Pole Cameras are going up on light poles that are already in most city streets, intersections, anywhere there is a light pole! Can you spell mass surveillance? Anyone with a brain can readily discern this is not about catching criminals, this is about tracking everyone, everything they do, everywhere they go, and the list goes on…
Some information about the Axon camera would be a few technical specifications. These cameras cover the gamut of data transmission and encryption, although it seems the data is not encrypted in whatever database contains the info. A few minutes in contemplation about the real reason so many data centers are being built would most likely lead to the suspicion that every one will be used to store your profile, and everyone else’s of course.
This is a quick overview of the radio frequencies involved for the Axon cameras.
Location data is provided by the following GPS systems, including the BeiDou system.1
Benjamin Franklin stated:
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Although his saying had to do with taxation rather than privacy issues,2 it is certainly applicable to the situation this country is in today!
Such as the YouTube video. titled “…NetFlix for Stalkers,” where the content creator was able to access all data without much effort. And, given that this world is now in the Last Days, don’t expect things to get any better.
These devices are listed as Part 15 devices, and as such, must comply with the following:
“This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.”
None of the issues we see in today’s society will be solved by technology.3 Until we admit we are the issue, and admit we need to ask forgiveness for our sinful nature, will anything change. And, that is only by accepting we pushed God out of our lives (through greed, pride and arrogance), and gave in to wickedness because it is easier than accepting we may be at fault. And only by humbling ourselves, and asking Jesus for forgiveness can we reject the evil and wickedness in our lives.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, now is the time! So, accept you have sinned and fallen short, accept His free gift of Salvation, before it’s too late!
Mark 13:14-19 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

The BeiDou GPS/radar system is creating issues for stealth aircraft, it seems. The BeiDou radar system uses the enormously large number of satellites it has in orbit, so whenever a stealth aircraft is detected by it, a unique echo is created that can be analyzed to predict the fighter jet’s location and movement. Some background information is here. The team uses a ‘blind detection’ method using a single channel to detect stealth aircraft – making the radars cheap to build and simple to operate. The mechanism includes using an advanced algorithm – first devised by a Yugoslavian scientist in 1991- for finding hidden cyclic frequencies in electromagnetic signals. China has supposedly provided the technology to Iran in June, when the Israelis were jamming the GPS signals in that area. Don’t know if there is a fix in the works before the middle of the next decade…↩︎
Benjamin Franklin was writing about a tax dispute between the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the family of the Penns, the proprietary family of the Pennsylvania colony who ruled it from afar.↩︎
Rick Smith is the CEO of Axon Enterprise. In 2019, Rick published, “The End of Killing,” which challenges conventional wisdom by arguing that killing is a technology problem and offering a roadmap to solve it. Like most “enlightened” folks, it never occurs to them that killing is a Human problem, not a technology problem.↩︎
