@timburchett@RepBrandonGill hope you're listening. I got a survey once asking about about how I thought you were doing. I answered that I really didn't know, cause I hadn't really heard anything about what you've actually done. So here's your chance...
We could all be "safe" if we were all locked in a cage and only allowed out for supervised release. Doesn't mean it's constitutional or even acceptable. Giving up our freedoms, which includes freedom from mass surveillance or tracking of our movements is not something I would give up willingly nor should it be for you either.
@Flock_Safety Freedom has risks, our society is not based eliminating risks or trading our freedoms for some nebulous idea of safety. I for one would gladly trade this false sense of security for freedom of movement without worry I'm being tracked by the police or the government in general.
Bad analogy, flock camera data and location tracking is freely available to the police as soon as it's collected. Your cellphone data isn't generally available to the police without a warrant. In addition mass collection of device and geofence data has already been ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS.
Nice talking point "10,000 missing persons were located with Flock's help" when it really should say 10,000 missing persons were found by agencies who happen to use Flock. These statistics and the underlying data was self reported by Flock and, as far as I know, have not been independently verified.
@camhigby Listen to this dipshit, now apparently a legal scholar, spewing Flock propaganda like he is a member of their PR team. This right here is proof you just can't fix stupid OR are on their payroll?
@camhigby@_AlRuddy Tell the lady that just spent 13 days in jail, due to being misidentified due to poorly interpreted Flock camera data that falsely implicated her in a fatal hit and run accident. You, can take your Flock cameras and shove them right up your A$$!
Virtually every podunk town has at least 8 cameras, lol. My medium size suburban city has dozens,located at every major intersection. Granted, not every block, but every few blocks. So are tracked every inch? Clearly no, are you tracked enough to establish YOUR daily routines? Absolutely. Can this information be misused? No question, there are more than 20 documented cases of misuse of the data by POLICE OFFICERS. Plus, more than few documented cases of camera data being accessed by hackers/hacktivests due to poor controls securing access to the data. Have there been incidents resulting in false arrests due to bad data or bad interpretation of the data? Again, absolutely. Do standard Flock cameras track people, no but you left out the rollout of the newer Condor cameras that are explicitly designed to do so. My contention is, is much of the current arguments against Flock, in their current state, overblown? No question that's the case. But, and that's a big But, where is all this leading to? Do you truly believe that the Government has the best interests of their citizens at heart? If you do, you're a fool. Personally, I do believe we are in a boiling the frog scenario, incrementally moving towards a potentially distopian surveillance state. Agree or disagree I don't really care.
