The LAPD declined to renew its Flock contract after an internal audit found 161 false stolen-vehicle alerts in just two months — a 32.3% false-positive rate. www.gadgetreview.com/one-in-three...

The second part is what all the people screaming that opposing camera-based enforcement are murdering children are missing - police abuse of these systems isn't a theory, it's reality. You can't have a fair technocratic solution if you can't trust who runs it. You can't design out the people.

The thing i argue for (camera based traffic enforcement) isn't even something Flock does. If they handed out speeding tickets then there would at least be some benefit, but they don't even do that, it's all downside
