Resources
Here's where you'll find everything you'll need to know about exactly what is going on in Porter County as it relates to what I'm trying to achieve here.
Creators
There are 2 VERY vocal creators that I would like to point everybody just now entering this rabbit hole towards; Louis Rossmann and Benn Jordan. Rossmann is an accomplished engineer and businessman from Austin Texas who now advocates for ironclad consumer protections, corporate accountability, and data transparency. Jordan is a musician and researcher who makes fantastic content educating people about personal data, privacy, blatant security flaws in what everybody had been touting as an "established law-enforcement contractor" (in regards to Flock Safety), and is overall a great place to start learning about a lot of these things. Another notable mention is Hampton Law, a Fort Worth civil rights attorney who does a great job explaining how law enforcement are constantly finding new loopholes to curtail what were meant to be constitutional rights for your protection.

DeFlock
DeFlock is a fantastic place to start when finding ways around these Flock cameras. What DeFlock essentially is, it is an open-source, volunteer community-led effort to try and map as many Flock surveillance cameras you may come across. There is a nationwide map of every Flock camera anyone on the platform has encountered, both an Apple and Android app, in addition to serving as the the information repo for the site FlockHopper, a service that helps you make a driving route that specifically avoids Flock cameras.
Datacenter Tracker
Trackdatacenters is another project that I believe is a very valuable resource that you can(and should) frequently keep tabs on. Like DeFlock, it is a volunteer-run mapping site that actively tracks and updates local datacenter developments. Fortunately enough, Indiana is one of the states on this site that you can view aggregated data related to ongoing datacenter development. Stay informed!
