Pembroke Pines, FL quietly built a surveillance machine over 10 years. $1.3 million. 160+ cameras. Facial recognition. FBI database access. Audio capture. A nationwide plate database with 4 billion+ reads. The City Commission voted on it 13 times. Never once debated it. Every claim here is from public records. 🧵

@jdp23 @Em0nM4stodon today is the last day of legislative session in Florida as well. Our strategy was that we got saved by the bell and by party politics. Disagreement within the FL GOP led to our two age verification bills being stalled out.

Last day to call your state rep and tell them to support SB 484 to bring AI data center regulation to Florida!
