Flock Camera Installer SWATS Atlanta News First Investigative Journalist
-----
As it turns out, Flock Camera Installers don't like to be watched.
In this video, a Flock camera installer calls the police because a news journalist is documenting him installing cameras.
I say the Flock camera installer SWATed the journalist because of what the installer says at 1:54 in the video.
"I work with Flock Safety. And I'm getting followed.
Harassed, pretty much. Taking videos and pictures.
I'll just put out my first name because I don't want them to hear my full name on the 911 call when they get it."
When they get the 911 call?
How many people do you know who are illegally harassing and threatening violence to someone, will then later seek out the 911 call of the incident via a FOIA request, and publish that call to the internet?
None. But that is exactly what an investigative journalist would do.
The installer KNEW that this man was a journalist and was acting within his rights and responsibilities. Yet, he called the police on him anyway, claiming the journalist was illegally harassing him and causing him to fear for his safety, so that the police would come and harass the journalist and risk a possible physical altercation, even though the journalist was doing nothing wrong.
