How about tightening recruitment first. Do not hire untrustworthy people. The NC officer who used Flock to stalk an ex-wife 31 times passed every check. A warrant requirement means nothing if the person requesting the warrant is the problem. "To protect and serve"; to many criminals in the service.

The best way to ensure accountability and constrain the government from performing mass surveillance on its own citizens it is to BAN these cameras, any other company's similar cameras, & street-facing Ring cameras. Just ban this. It is incompatible with a free society in any form whatsoever.

Did you know that a battery powered circular saw with the right blade can cut through a two inch aluminum pole in about 11 seconds?

The tech bros lie just as easily as Dipshit and the Rs. They'll push any lie to give themselves more power and money, and here's another one.

Flock is getting some reputation damage but without laws, that can fade quickly

Their existence is unacceptable, period. The police state must be destroyed, period.

First, I would like them to define what they view as abuse. Then, we can discuss their Orwellian mass surveillance equipment further.

Flock is not failing to prevent abuse. It is doing what abusers do. Finding ways to make the behaviour acceptable. Wrapping it in policy until it looks procedural. The abuse does not stop. It gets a paper trail that says it was allowed and justified. Abusive systems are built by abusive people.

A bit off topic, but what is stopping Flock from selling access to the data they've collected to ANYONE that will cut them a check?

We passed a law back in 1791, it's called the 4th amendment 😂

The spirit of the law would say that this tech being placed in neighborhoods is incompatible with the 4th amendment. The courts and our representatives have the responsibility to ensure the Letter of the law aligns with the spirit of the law, & unfortunately that hasn't been happening with this tech

Really? Major BS.
