In the latest episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, Justin Phillips and Shadow Governor Vos pick up right where they left off: Flock cameras. Cities across Wisconsin are dumping contracts over data sales, cops have been caught using the system to stalk exes, and the public is starting to lose trust.
Cameras help cops find stolen cars, missing people, and suspects, but a national search network, thin safeguards, and a company that has given Wisconsin plenty of reasons to ask who else is looking at the data. The question is whether Flock is worth what it costs in privacy, abuse, and political blowback as more communities walk away.
From there, the hosts discuss ICE enforcement in Wisconsin, which has hit new arrest highs this summer.
Then comes the economic reality of Governor Evers’ policies. Job growth is flat, and unemployment has ticked upward according to a new study from a left-leaning UW Madison think tank.
The hosts also explain why Democrats should be grateful that legislative Republicans heard only 9 of their bills last session. Now they don’t go into November having to defend their craziest ideas.
The fellas wrap up the episode talking about an absolute creep with a serial-killer obsession, plus the case for why naked skydiving is a terrible idea.
