On July 20, Jacob Petrosky stood in front of the Casa Grande, Arizona City Council during a public comment session and made an announcement.
“I've spent the last several months talking to people all over Casa Grande, and one thing keeps coming up: Safety.
So, today I'm excited to announce a new company called Shepherd Safety,” he said.
“Our mission is simple.
Keep government officials and their families safe.”
It would be no different than how the city monitors its citizens using Flock cameras, he said; he planned to launch satellites that would use AI to monitor “where government officials go, where they stop, who they meet with, and when they return home.”
He said he’d already started compiling profiles on their vehicles, spouses vehicles, children's vehicles, and planned to combine that data with Bluetooth signals, advertising IDs, and commercial data sources, “so our authorized users can replay the movements of every government official and their immediate family,” he said.
Local businesses would be invited to join the network, to “protect” officials while they shop, eat at restaurants, and move around the city.
