Ironically the "Flock surveillance camera" was there to take Security's jobs.

The Security was probably just trying to get the guys name so they can send him a Thank You card.

Don’t know the individuals true motivation.
But, I hope it’s push back on the relentless drive to monitor, track and record everything we do.
Cell phones, credit cards, cameras, internet postings…..

So, is Flock a threat to some Union and its members?

Let’s get Dems activated to help them.

You need endless surveillance for a low trust society.

Since Flock cameras are placed out on the ‘public way’, by a private company and not by any governmental agency, I don’t see the legal difference between the camera and an empty beer can tossed on the side of road.

The empty beer can contributed to the wellbeing of someone.

And/or a highly totalitarian government run country.

As James Madison said, if men were angels, there'd be no need for government.

'Course, then you'd have to explain how 1/3 of the angels rebelled.

I have a relative with 13 surveillance cameras inside and outside his home. He - and the Red Chinese too, I guess - can monitor all of them from a cell phone anywhere in the world.

He is adamantly opposed to Flock cameras. He says a person has no expectation of privacy on private property but that a person has an expectation of privacy on public property such as a federal highway.

Is he right?

Government monitoring without a warrant sworn by a judge is a violation of the 4th Amendment.

It doesn't matter if a private company put up the monitoring device - once the government has access to it, it's unconstitutional.

You have no right of privacy just about anywhere.

I have evidence of my prior employer putting a recording device and software on my computer at work, with the listening device being places under my desk.

I may go ahead and let the appropriate people know....

I just installed Ring doorbells!

I got a “PERSON DETECTED” alert at 2 am and another at 4 am! Panic!! Who is prowling our front porch at that hour.

It’s a neighbor’s cat! Great “facial recognition”!

We agree, they both need to be ‘cleaned up’.

“Government monitoring without a warrant sworn by a judge is a violation of the 4th Amendment.”

To be clear, are you saying that government - state or federal - would need a warrant to use a camera to monitor a state or federal highway?
