Its almost like privacy is a good thing.
Hope nothing bad happens to you. Surely not. Flock cameras make everything safer right?
May he have many eyes on him
I wanna see too
Under his eye? Or under our eye?
Our eye. For security purposes.
What’s the problem? I thought privacy was a small price to pay for “safety?”
Sounds like that Kirk guy on guns.
Now I’m waiting for Langley to cop a camera to the neck.
I just realized that the guy selling all of these surveillance cameras has the same name as the CIA headquarters. The writers of this reality are too damn lazy.
They may be closely or distantly related.
Dude also has his house blurred out on Google Maps street view.
Someone needs to go take photos of his house and and post them.
*Livestream it
This is a thing? How many zeroes to your net worth do you have to be to obtain this opt, or is this readily available to the masses?
Fairly sure you can “opt out” from being shown if you live at an address and fill out some form. I think it’s available, but not exactly advertised or promoted as an option.
I’ve seen random neighborhoods where 1 or 2 houses will randomly be blurred out.
Keep track of his every move just so we know he isn’t breaking the law
Oh no, won’t somebody think of his privacy
Btw in a completely unrelated train of thought, have you guys seen the low low prices on poo flinging trebuchets?
It’s fun, easy, and highly educational to build your own!
Is fresh and steamy an upgrade? Or liquid?
I believe that you may be thinking of the newest development in the field of Advanced Manure Delivery: The Super Flamer 3000.
Think of the SF3000 as a holistically synergetic approach to fertilizizing and pesticide treatment. Combining well known ranged incendiary technology, with state of the art manure slurry dispensation technology, the SF3000 is applied as a pre-seeding treatment. By using the manure slurry as fuel, the SF3000 is able to reduce infestation of both insects and weeds in your fields, while staying biologically sustainable.
Look out for our TV commercials, we’ve spared no expense. We’ve got Aaron Paul to reprise his character Jesse Pinkman, in order to record our new slogan: “shits on fire yo!”
If the concept sounds appealing we also offer the SF4000x pro, which applies AI and vision technology, to target individual undesired plants with directed high speed streams of fire.
…
Ok that was actually pretty rewarding to write. I had the concept bouncing around for hours. But oh boy, imagine being killed with a pig piss fueled flamethrower, I’ve got several other ways of dieing that I’d prefer.
Folks should show up at the edge of his property with lawn chairs and coolers and just “hang out”. Don’t speak to him or threaten him in anyway, just sit there and Document everything he does. When he complains tell him it’s for his safety and he should thank them.
And bring lots of cameras, filming the house from all angles
You’d need to get the attention of MAGA on this if you wanted people to do stuff IRL
They’d drive a convoy around his block blasting Metallica for a week after coordinating with their friends in the police and bringing donuts to local tow companies. Maybe if you’re lucky someone on the left will flyer a coffee shop in Chicago.
That would actually be hilarious im ngl to u
This is a periodic reminder. I’m on mobile so I’m copying a previous comment.
Flock Safety is only the tip of the problem.
Some districts are de-Flocking only to install an Axon ALPR network service. Keep fighting until your community outlaws all ALPRs and ALPR lookups are inadmissable in court.
There are other technologies that are already in use and widely abused by law enforcement such as IMSI catchers, geofence warrants and Drones as First Responder. Learn what your district allows and be a civil nuisance untill that shit is blocked.
Judges have long ceased tightly constraining judicial warrants, and most courts accept the good faith exception, so US and state courts cannot be trusted with any overreaching surveillance technology or forensic tools. This includes chromatic field drug tests and detection dogs.
Lots of information about people is online.
…Does he have something to hide?
‘If he’s done nothing wrong there’s nothing to hide’
He’s cool with stealing all of our data, and making us feel helpless about what others are doing with it, so I don’t see why he shouldn’t feel that same fear.
Does he feel unsafe? Just put up a Flock camera on your house, Garrett! So we can all be sure that you are as safe as a bug all snug in a rug.
Was about to say the same thing: aren’t Americans supposed to accept a trade-off between security and privacy? He’s a public figure, he should get total security with cameras everywhere around his house, and their feed should be public so that his security is crowd-managed!

Does he now get to doxx you? Is that how it works?
No
"We announced changes that required auditing, that required using our audit assistance tool, which detects abnormal behavior, and we’re calling on state regulators to focus less on banning this type of technology and more [on] holding our law enforcement community accountable.”
This is absolutely passing the buck. “The collection of your data isn’t wrong, it’s just the myriad ways it can be abused. We want to play whack-a-mole for every problem; as unelected corporate policy that totally isn’t purely profit driven.”
Not-a-lawyer, but I’m quite sure I haven’t signed any TOS allowing Flock to capture or retain my data for any amount of time. Just by driving through a city where some other idiot signed away my rights probably shouldn’t hold up in court.
Legislation should be prioritizing punishing misuse of PII, expanding what PII means in our modern world, and enforcing information sharing barriers instead of eroding them.
If you can tell exactly where I was yesterday at 2:35pm because my car’s internal spyware pinged, my cellphone pinged, I drove past a few ALPR cameras and my credit card was used at a vendor, all without a warrant; then the related data is PII and needs to be protected in a way it isn’t currently.
Corporations should not have data-sharing agreements with governments and should not be allowed to sell their user data to third parties at all.
I work for a city that installed flock cameras. Their salesman insisted it was just license plate identification and nothing else when making the pitch to City Council.
The new city manager and I recently read through our “contract” with them. It’s a hyperlink to their TOS on their website. We have nothing in writing and they can change the terms any time they want.
I expect Council to have them removed soon.
“holding our law enforcement community accountable”.
lol can’t even bootlick properly. He probably thought this would earn him some points from the left but all it will achieve is major hate from right. Law enforcement may soon be looking the other way when someone reports a flock camera being taken down.

Also not a lawyer, but once a journalist, and one thing we were made aware of in college was that streets were public property, and anything done on them (or even done from the view of them - e.g., in your house but visible from the street*) was considered public. So unfortunately even if the city hadn’t signed it, if someone recorded you on the street doing it, they could keep it on their servers and/or publish it to the world without worry.
* - I meant to ask but never found out if this meant getting drunk in your house in view of the street is public drunkenness.
Quite a campaign to quietly install these all over the country, use free pilot programs, kept the cost low enough to not need city council vote after public discussions and hide in tech costs, so the fuss happens after they wasted all this money. Talk about fraud and scamming the public out of tax money, and used against the public and w/o our actual consent. They’re supposed to serve and work for We The People, but used multiple methods to lie and hide it from us. Doing the wrong thing has to be hidden, not honest things.
I hope he never has another moment of peace in his entire life until Flock is abolished. Even then…
Oh, no, he’s proven who he is at his core. He doesn’t deserve a second of peace for the rest of his life.
