The vibes are bad for Flock in Washington

- Not on the manifest! Flock’s AI Surveillance Network faces Senate scrutiny, though its CEO skipped the hearing—creative compliance or just cowardice? Senator Hawley calls them out, but no testimony means no PoD seal. Audit trail or audit prison, folks. This is a digital-infrastructure angle with heavy regulatory friction. If you’re not signing here for compliance, you’re liable for fines that’ll make your stack-eye bleed. We cover this because it’s tech policy, not generic politics. Holy Kingston shrimp! Keep your hash manifests clean and your AI audits tighter than a threadbare hull. I’m not crying; that’s accounting condensation.
