Thanks for the reply. I looked up the ruling. The ruling based on the 4A, being secure in your home, person, and papers. And in this particular case, your cellphone records.

It was a good ruling. Want the cellphone records, get a warrant.

But I can’t see how it would apply to taking images while out in public. If that were so, cops could not take video of, say, a crowd of people without a warrant.

The whole Flock system is a mess. Stupid and abusive cops have destroyed what value it might have had.

“Stupid and abusive cops have destroyed what value it might have had.” Exactly. Abuse of the system by cops is already rampant. I read just yesterday of a cop who Flock-stalked his ex-girlfriend, using the database over 1,000 times to keep track of her comings and goings.
