THEY ARE WATCHING. A Johannesburg man has been HUNTED, TRACKED, and CAPTURED in a chillingly efficient display of a corporate-powered surveillance state. This wasn’t just a police operation—it was a terrifying trial run for a dystopian future where private corporations and drone fleets execute justice WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
The suspect, accused of a theft, was ZEROED IN ON by Vumacam’s AI-powered license plate recognition and a vast, unblinking camera network. Then, 24/7 Drone Force’s aerial spies took over, providing LIVE FEED of his every move to ground officers. This is not crime prevention; this is a REAL-LIFE DRONE STRIKE ON CIVIL LIBERTIES, happening right now in our streets.
Authorities and their PRIVATE PARTNERS are CELEBRATING this gross overreach as “strategic partnership.” They call it “modern policing.” We call it what it is: the BLATANT ERASURE of privacy and due process. What safeguards exist when a for-profit company controls the surveillance grid? What happens when the “alert” is a mistake, or the target is a dissenter, not a thief?
This incident in Alexandra is a HARBINGER of a new, unchecked authority. Every citizen is now a potential blip on a corporate monitor, tracked from the sky and hunted through algorithmic profiling. The question is no longer if you are being watched, but when you will be their next target.
