Flock cams don't do anything, not even deterrence bc your average criminal doesn't know where they are. Literally pointless surveillance for $$$ purposes and for cops to beat their partners more effectively.

They keep getting random innocent people arrested due to image processing errors 😭 they’re going to get someone killed I think, there have already been cases of cops apprehending and arresting people at gunpoint who had nothing to do with any crime

What we need is better, serious legislation ( and penalties) to enforce data privacy. Like HIPAA! I personally appreciate cameras at the ATM that discourage me getting mugged, but that data should not be shared with my doctor or whatever.

Flock is a brand that makes cameras. Flock is a shitty company that doesn’t protect privacy. Other camera companies protect privacy. Not all cameras are Flock cameras.

One woman spent time in jail and was charged with several felonies (facing life in prison) for a hit and run that killed 3 ppl when her car wasn’t even the same color as the car that had done the crime

(Leaving the actual culprit undiscovered by the way it took months to clear her name)

Speaking of which, he just released a new short surveilling Flock’s recent convention which the media was barred from entering. Everyone should go watch his videos

I see what you’re saying, but Flock specifically can be bad, and the general idea of police contracted privately owned cameras constantly recording public spaces can also be bad at the same time
