Poster: ChurchOMarsChaz Florida just made it legal to label you a gang member if you're photographed near the wrong person at a bike night twice. So I built an AI dragnet to run the exact same law against the politicians who wrote it.
How many of you go to charity runs, bike nights, or poker runs in Florida?
On October 1, Florida’s newly amended gang statute (CS/HB 429) goes into effect. It quietly lowered the bar for tagging citizens as "gang associates." It used to take four documented interactions. Now it takes exactly two.
The law never actually defines "associates with" or "in the company of." There is no distance requirement. There is no context requirement. If you are standing in the background of a group photo at a Daytona bike night, and someone fifteen feet away is a "documented affiliate" (which the state hands out like candy to club members), that counts. Two photos, and you catch a criminal gang enhancement.
I’m a Florida-based engineer and a pro se litigant. I practice what I call intended malicious friction. If the state wants to use unwritten rules and automated cameras to build databases on riders, I am going to hold them to their own standard.
Allow me to introduce F.U.C.K. (the Fixed Urban Capture Kit).
It runs on an open-source AI pipeline I built to essentially build a FLOCK network for politicians' faces:
Kyle scrapes high-res photo dumps from official sheriff portals, campaign websites, and VIP donor galas.
Kenny isolates the faces in the crowds and extracts 512-dimensional vector embeddings.
STAN indexes those embeddings and runs proximity checks to see exactly who the political class is drinking with.
Because the law sets no spatial limit for "associating with," my AI just runs the raw bounding-box math. A camera compresses 3D space into a 2D plane. If a guy standing 15 feet behind the sheriff at a community fish fry looks like he’s next to him, STAN logs an official gang association against the sheriff.
To tune the AI, I filed targeted public records requests with the top 30 sheriff's offices. I demanded their instruction manuals: How many pixels of proximity in a photo counts as an "observation"? Is there a written carve-out exempting elected officials?
Either they produce a written policy exempting themselves—handing defense lawyers an Equal Protection violation to dismantle street-level prosecutions against riders. Or, they admit no standard exists—proving the law is unconstitutionally vague.
I'm doing a massive AMA this Sunday to talk about the code, but I wanted to drop this here first because riders are the absolute primary targets of dragnet laws like this.
I'm not pro-gang. I'm pro applying the law equally to everyone.
Ask me anything about the tech, the trap, or how we are fighting back.
