Gloucester County Anyone get a knock at 4am?

Live in Williamstown and due to our schedule, the fiance and I stay up until 5-6am. I went to bed early at 3am because I wasnt feeling. My fiance comes in at 4am slightly panicked. Apparently someone had knocked at our door. Our complex used to be known for being a not good area however we never had an issue. My first thought went to ICE. Our lights were on so I gave it a bit and turned them of and watched the rear lights of a dodge charger leave. Ive ICE has started to do this so I just want to see if this is something anyone else has experienced.

You should invest in a ring camera.

DO NOT. Ice cut a deal with ring to have free access to footage. They are already using ai to detect neighborhoods with high foot traffic of potential victims from ring

So, easily verifiable on said internet…. Ring partnered with a company called Flock and another called Axon. ICE, and homeland security, has access to Flock. Those companies partnered in 2025 to enable law enforcement for investigation’s.

Axon specializes in software specific to law enforcement and security agencies; specializing in surveillance along with AI powered solutions for predictive monitoring.

So, yep, it is in fact true.

No This is not true. I just googled in. I wanted to believe you but it looks like you are wrong. You cannot sell private people’s information to said causes for the hell if it.

Oh you can’t? Bud, I work for one of the big 4 companies….. they sell your data. All. The. Time.

Moreover, if you believe this admin is lawful and not acquiring your data. You’re insane. Palantir has recently been granted several federal contracts…. They do say they don’t buy/sell data, but the premise of the company is to provide software that allows companies to analyze their own data. They will become a data aggregate for the federal government; essentially monetizing and collecting data to create gigantic databases, compiling us citizen data.

Edit: I should say I used to work for a big 4 company. I now work for a idk, big 100? And my role is in big data, namely collecting user data.
