[BK007]

Critics say its pervasiveness amounts to unconstitutional warrantless mass surveillance used in unauthorized tracking, after a flurry of examples surfaced of law enforcement officers misusing the technology for personal searches.

Sounds like stalking to me.
I'm shocked, lie enforcement would never do that.

Just like cops would never fabricate evidence. Resulting in an innocent person being locked up for 16 years.
Ending in a $34 million dollar settlement of taxpayers money.
PSA NEVER ever open your house door to lie enforcement.
They will LIE and say, they can't hear you. It's all BS.

Of course, this only addresses the least of the multitude of problems with Flock cameras.

I suggest anyone with digital privacy concerns go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation's homepage @ https://www.eff.org/ and look at who they are, the work they do, and consider making a donation to help their mission. They are the leading nonprofit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.

I do think there's a difference, you can choose if you want to use it or not.

When did ppl sign, or hit agree to be tracked by flock ?

Flock cameras use AI to interpret what they see. They make mistakes that lead to wrongful arrests. They are not as accurate as your GPS coordinates.

Ford can't arrest you or falsely harrass you and threaten arrest.

Your phone and your App dont have a direct line to your local PD, and cannot flag you for arrest for a crime you didnt commit.

Sure, but they can be compelled to turn over your data to police if there is a warrant.

If there is a warrant. Flock tracks everyone with no warrants.

This makes me very glad I'm not living the US.

Heard of cops using the cams to stalk their girlfriends and ex's.

Don't hide your head in the sand. Look at London if you truly want to see a surveillance state.. We're all on that list.

No, but i bet they could shut our engines down if compelled to by the courts or law enforcement. A Tesla could lock your doors and drive you to the police station. Could you imagine if that car got hacked??
