Relevant To: Chatrie-triggered Florida Chapter 119 ALPR records-request strategy (legitimate technique); separately, a facial-recognition tool targeting named officials (flagged, not endorsed)
Verification Status: Mixed — Records-Request Strategy Plausible, Prior-Wins Claims Unverified, Facial-Recognition Project Flagged for Caution
Notes: Confirmed via screenshots (Reddit itself is blocked for direct fetch). Post by u/ChurchOMarsChaz on r/FlockSurveillance, titled “As promised: Update on the F.U.C.K. Project: We’re using SCOTUS to hoist Florida’s ALPR dragnet on its own petard.” VERIFICATION CAUTION: the post opens with a series of sweeping self-reported prior “wins” — claims to have “nuked Florida’s book ban” via a Bible-based public-records challenge, “helped put three elected officials behind bars,” and gotten “church banners yanked off school property” — with zero case names, dates, agencies, or citations provided. These are entirely unverifiable as presented and should NOT be treated as established fact; flagging per BPA’s verification standards as an anonymous poster’s self-reported narrative only. CONFIRMED FACTUAL ELEMENT: the poster describes filing Florida Chapter 119 (public records law) requests on July 4, 2026 with three major Florida sheriff organizations, demanding ALPR/Flock query logs generated since the Chatrie v. United States SCOTUS ruling (June 29, 2026, already cataloged elsewhere in BPA’s materials) alongside the warrant ledger that would authorize those queries under Chatrie’s new warrant requirement — reasoning that a zero-entry ledger, or a sudden holiday-weekend spike in warrant paperwork, would itself be evidence of either non-compliance or a scramble to paper over it. This specific records-request strategy (pairing a Chatrie-triggered records request with a warrant-ledger cross-check) is a legitimate and interesting accountability technique worth BPA’s attention on its own terms, independent of the unverifiable claims. SEPARATE AND MORE CONCERNING: the poster announces “F.U.C.K.” (Fixed Urban Capture Kit), described as an “open source sousveillance project” that will “use facial recognition and public data to mirror warrantless police surveillance logic back at the political class that authorized it” — i.e., building a facial-recognition tracking tool aimed at identifying and tracking specific named elected officials. IMPORTANT FRAMING NOTE FOR BPA: this is a materially different activity than institutional-accountability journalism or public-records requests — it proposes building surveillance infrastructure targeting identifiable individuals, which runs counter to BPA’s own stated framing of centering institutional accountability rather than individual targeting, and raises its own legal/ethical exposure (potential stalking-adjacent conduct, regardless of the political target) independent of whatever ALPR abuses it’s responding to. BPA should not amplify or associate with the FUCK project without much more scrutiny, even though the underlying Chapter 119/Chatrie records-request strategy described earlier in the same post is worth separate consideration.
