I guess there are ZERO protections from Flock abuse and unauthorized use.

If a stalker ex-girlfriend can do this, I guarantee you China and various other enemies of the USA track every move made by our military, politicians, judges, and officials.

As well as the Deep State.

They know where they are. What they are doing. They know when attacks are coming and from where.

They know who is sleeping with whom.

They are blackmailing all of them.

Heck, this exact system is how Israel targeted Iran’s leadership. They knew their secret locations by hacking their traffic cameras.

All of this crap is a massive security vulnerability.

Can we open up flock camera research to the general public? Because I’d like to closely track a bunch of politicians and local officials. Would that be OK? And if I can’t do it, then they shouldn’t do it. At all. Get a damn warrant. If you can.

“3,000 times and running four additional plates hundreds of times each.”

And no one in the Sheriff’s office noticed this?...................

I'm not sure the word "remarkable" even comes close to describing this

How many of these cameras are pointed at politicians houses, celebrities houses, mosques and Learning centers, why do I get the feeling that some parts of society are exempt from identification and constant tracking.

I can see value in Flock cameras. A perfect example would be in a kidnapping case.

But viewing the footage should require a warrant signed by a judge. Unfortunately, it’s probably too late now. Abuse by trash cops has destroyed what trust the public had in the system.

Oh, and there’s a second problem. Cops have used inconclusive video as grounds to arrest innocent people. That abuse would be much tougher to address.

"and Learning centers"

You misspelled, "learing centers".

The Secret State Police and the Committee for State Security REALLY see value in "flock" cameras.

Lavrenty Beria and Heinrich Himmler are looking up and thinking, “wow, what we could have done with these things...”

Camera image chips used to be cheap.

They are now expensive and my local Walmart has gaps on its aisles.

I suspect the data centers are largely for processing images.

Images of what you may ask?

What is being looked for?

I’m sure the Sheriff’s office knew all about it; they were covering for the psycho.

Any value is greatly outweighed by the inherent abuse.

It’s just spying.

The TV in my bedroom has no microphone.

Its speakers are its microphone.
