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.

"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 hope he never has another moment of peace in his entire life until Flock is abolished. Even then…

What’s the problem? I thought privacy was a small price to pay for “safety?”

Folks should show up at the edge of his property with lawn chairs and coolers and just “hang out”. Don’t speak to him of 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.

Nothing wrong with instilling a little bit of healthy fear in the rich and powerful.

‘If he’s done nothing wrong there’s nothing to hide’

Well well well…

Hate to tell ya’ll but it’s highly unlikely the CEO of Flock lives in that house. It’s either misinformation or a honeypot. You don’t sell out your country and live in a house on a plot of land that small and without armed security.

these people always look like out of touch assholes lol.

i doubt we have even one working class person left in a position of power.

even the last name langley is telling. i went to american public schools and you’d rarely if ever encounter anyone with a unique last name unless they were hella ethnic, even if that meant french canadian or italian.

the rise of the nepo baby last name.

Good. Very good. I hope he feels true fear. I hope he gets what is deserved.

should start bringing all the flock cameras and drop them off in his driveway.

just imagine a pile of cameras on pipes like this in his front yard.

He took the risk of pissing off the masses for profit. And it looks that he now faces the consequences.

He just needs to compromise on his privacy.

Let’s start a car tracker log for him like that one person did for elons planes.
