Armstrong & Getty Monday Hour 3
Summary
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty discuss the constitutional dangers of Flock’s 120,000 AI-powered license plate cameras, arguing that such surveillance violates foundational privacy principles. They also review a segment on "stupidity coast to coast," highlighting political failures in Los Angeles, New York, Portland, and Seattle, including a volunteer group being investigated for cleaning up drug needles. The hosts conclude with a personal reflection on Orson Welles’ views on life regrets and a humorous anecdote about being observed by visitors in the radio studio.
