@JasonBassler1 How many times does this need to happen? Obviously they aren't treating these as just leads. Wouldn't it make sense to validate the leads before proceeding? Couldn't review the photo that the alerted?
@libra989@LoganARobison Nope, just kept forgetting while waiting for the stickers to come in the mail. Then eventually it became "I wonder how far I can push this".
@GhostWriterOhio@JasonBassler1 Thought they weren't admissable because of how insecure they were proven to be? Thought that was why they've been deliberate with the 'lead generation' narrative
If James Duckett (murder suspect from 1987) had committed his heinous crimes today.........we would have found him, thanks to today's technology. We find lots of lost people and catch crazy amounts of criminals with cameras. Period. #PolkSheriff#GradyJudd#TodaysTechnology#LPRS #Flock
Top 3 dumbest excuses people make when defending mass surveillance and Flock cameras:
1) "You have no expectation of privacy in public."
Except long term tracking isn't just "being seen" - it's an imposed, automated dragnet and stalking. Courts recognize the "mosaic theory": individual public moments, when stitched together 24/7, reveal your doctor visits, political rallies, and entire daily life without your consent or a warrant. It's not the same as someone watching you pass by.
2) "Your phone spies on you already."
This is pure defeatism that ignores personal agency. You can buy a Faraday bag, De-Google your phone, no have one at all, or choose to leave it at home entirely - you have consumer choice. You can’t opt out, alter, or opt out of a state monitored network of automated license plate readers scanning every public road.
3) "If your kid was abducted, you’d want one."
When you resort to absurd emotional traps and logical fallacies (Appeal to Emotion, False Dilemma, Faulty Generalization), it's a confession you can't defend the tech on its merits. Police have solved crimes for generations without violating constitutional rights, and extreme edge cases don't justify permanent dragnet surveillance of the entire population.
