Flock Safety, whose surveillance cameras blanket the United States, released a slate of new privacy and transparency “safeguards” Thursday amid reports of police officers abusing the system and spying on innocent people. But critics say the move is largely about optics, warning Americans not to miss the forest for the trees: that a surveillance state has been built right before their eyes.
“As long as Flock continues to value profits over privacy and continues to treat legitimate privacy concerns as mere PR issues, we are going to continue to see more Flock efforts like today’s that seek to create headlines about positive reforms when few if any impactful changes are actually made,” Chad Marlow, senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), told the Daily Caller.

It is a 4th amendment violation.
I would bet that the more that is discovered, some BS 'national security' excuse gets pulled to stymie discovery. If so, you have your answer.
Just imagine if this system was out in force during COVID.
And Biden would have a field day w/chasing down associates of J6 folks, Latin Mass attendees, and people showing up to school board meetings.
If we can’t keep creepy ex-spouses from using this, I guarantee the Chinese have hacked it.
They know every time something is happening in Washington.
They know where secret meeting locations are.
They know every girlfriend every Congressman, judge, appointee, has. And they are blackmailing the hell out of them.
They probably have an AI server sucking up all this data going “OH, Mr. X and General Y are meeting. This means Z.”
It’s a massive, massive, security threat.
Why is this info restricted ?
Why don’t they sell it to anyone ?
Flock is a private company, can I start a Private company and start surveilling all public employees all the time? if not why ?
And yet we have those right her on F.R. that thinks it is perfectly ok. No expectation of privacy in public and all that B.S.
Tracking and storing data of our whereabouts is tyranny. Those doing the dirty work should be hanging from street lamps. Our Founding Fathers would have burned down their houses and offices long ago.

And, far more crimes have been solved.
You do not have an expectation of privacy when driving on a public road.
The fears of privacy invasion are unfounded.
Why does this already feel like a political issue?
Maybe it’s because the deep state doesn’t want to get caught?
Don’t get me started on Metropolis.io which is just as bad or maybe worse, the only difference is that it sends all it’s info to Israel
So, I would like access to the Flockers. I would use them to track down the closest ice cream truck in my neighborhood.
C’mon, Man!
Oh look, the former vax queen slithers out from under her rock. Figures you would be defending this, troll.
Don't get flocked.
ACKACKACKACKACK!!!
And never forget the CEO of Flock called people who don’t like the scanners everywhere “terroristic.”
Imagine 100,000 muslim jihadis here on H-1B, L-1, refugee and expired student visas working in power plants, fertilizer factories, refineries, chemical manufacturers, hospitals, utilities, dams, pharmaceutical formulators, web hub server farms, municipal water supply facilities, sewage treatment plants, meat packing and food processing plants, driving HazMat trucks...Remember when the Vietcong took over Huế? They were able to round up every government official, march them all off into the jungle and kill every last one of them in one single night.
They knew exactly where they lived, who they visited, where they shopped and where they ate dinner, and when.
How you ask?
The cabbies had been providing the Vietcong daily reports on their every move for years in advance.
Soooo, where do most of the cabbies in your berg come from? In Washington DC, it's Somalia...
Just because we've forgotten the lessons of Huế and the lessons of the Sepoy Rebellion's "The Perfect Day" doesn't mean our enemies have.
Wiki seems mute on The Perfect Day. That information used to be readily available there. Now it's barely mentioned.

First of all, I’m not a ‘queen’. Second, attacking this technology as an invasion of privacy is the same as attacking the shot detection systems for being racist.
Now, please explain how these camera’s are an invasion of privacy considering that you do not have an expectation of privacy while out in public.
So if I see you in public, I have a right to know who you are, your address, and your complete travel history?
just another version of defund the police in a different form.
