'I Would Never Do This To You:' Protesting Flock, Arizona Man Presents Plan to Surveil Government Officials
“They didn't understand it was satire in the beginning until the end,” Casa Grande, Arizona resident Jacob Petrosky told 404 Media. “They were not happy, they were very upset.”
On July 20, Jacob Petrosky addressed the Casa Grande City Council, unveiling his new venture, Shepherd Safety. The purpose, he stated, was to ensure the safety of local government officials and their families. His plan involved launching satellites equipped with AI technology to track the officials' activities, including their whereabouts, stops, meetings, and return home.
He had already begun gathering information on their vehicles, spouses' vehicles, and children's vehicles. This data, combined with Bluetooth signals, advertising IDs, and commercial data sources, would allow authorized users to monitor the movements of every government official and their immediate family. Local businesses were invited to participate in the network, aiming to provide an additional layer of protection for officials while they conducted their daily activities such as shopping, dining, and traveling around the city.
