Hey...if you are doing nothing wrong, there’s nothing to be afraid of, right?

/s

So I went to their website and got this info,,,there is a lot of stuff there when you click around.
https://www.flocksafety.com/blog/who-really-has-access-to-your-flock-data

According to them they do not sell data...according to other places, you can buy subscriptions [from someone] to access the data you want.

Somebody be lyin...

According to them they do not sell data...

Their whole business is selling “data”!! The key sentence there at the link is “Flock does not sell camera data to any third party.” It is a semantics thing...Flock sells specific “city A” license plate data to the P.D. in “city A” and promises not to sell the same exact license plate data set to another party, but the raw data (including RF-derived personal device MAC address data, audio, video, face recognition data, etc.) resides on their “Cloud/”AI/servers and IS sold in a “re-packaged” form to many others nationwide.

“According to them they do not sell data”

And according to Fauci, vaccines prevent Covid.

Even if they don’t sell data, just one bad actor with access to the cameras’ data can result in the harassment and/or death to others. And that has happened already.

My opinion is that it’s going to be used as a weapon by the government to control and persecute citizens. And it’s interesting that the Flock Camera issue coincides with the issue of massive data centers. Gotta have some place to store information.

Meet Flock, the $8 billion startup backed by a16z and Tiger facing growing backlash against surveillance capitalism

Flock Safety has spent nine years promising to solve crime. At the same time it may have built the most pervasive surveillance network in American history—one that is increasingly drawing loud pushback from advocates worried about what’s been collected and who has access to the data.

FYI, there is a website/App. “DEFLOCKED” Which identifies all the Flock cameras in the country. I took a look, Danville has 33! JUST HOW FAR DO WE WANT THIS TO GO? THIS SURVEILLANCE COUNTERMANDS THE FOURTH AMENDMENT!

... “Law enforcement can circumvent the Fourth Amendment simply by pulling out their wallet and buying that data,” he said, a gap privacy advocates have been trying to close for years. “The Fourth Amendment’s Not For Sale Act is a bill that has been introduced in multiple Congresses that continuously receive support and then gets blocked at the last minute,” Bowman said. If it ever passed, he argues, it would functionally require a warrant before police could buy the kind of location data ALPR networks generate, which is why he doesn’t expect Flock to support it.

“Flock cameras are helping police catch criminals and potentially act as deterrents before a crime is even committed. But citizens and courts are now deciding what price to put on Americans’ freedom to move without being watched.”
