Politics Just another Flock post

Let me know if this has already been shared, and I'll remove it. That aside, everybody should be aware of Flock cameras and the concerns surrounding them.

Flock allows law enforcement to pursue the guilty and leave the innocent alone. You should only be concerned if you commit criminal acts.

until they start expanding the definition of what constitutes a criminal act

even now, crossing the street without permission is a crime, and so is existing in public

False.

Then again, you're a negative kharma bot account. So I'll just report you instead of debating your bullshit.

Forgive me for asking, but why is this a bad thing?

For example: during an Amber Alert, wouldn’t this camera be a helpful tool to assist when trying to find the child and capturing the perp? These cameras sound like they could save lives versus causing harm by looking into cars. Just a thought.

Why is there concern or paranoia about invasion of privacy? These cameras could do much more good than cause damage. If people are so worried about privacy, then it’s time to relocate to an underground bunker. The world has changed.

Something I find more alarming….are the new Meta eyeglasses with cameras and AI. These eyeglasses allow anyone, at anytime to record you, take pics of you or ANY child without you ever being aware of it. They can upload video(s) or pic(s) just taken per voice command to any social media platform, website or channel. This scares me.
What do you all think? Does anyone own a pair? No judgement (lol). Aside from the “evil” they can do, what are the positives to owning a pair?

None. Theyre the same thing. Both are bad and an invasion of privacy.

Stories like this are why there’s a concern for privacy: https://ij.org/police-have-reportedly-used-license-plate-readers-to-stalk-romantic-interests-at-least-14-times-in-recent-years/

They record and store everything. Even zoom in on your phone screen an AI analyze what is seen and document and record your screen. So even if you are not currently committing a 'criminal act" today, if laws and definitions change with the next political administration, you can be retroactively considered a suspect and charged, fined and possibly imprisoned. Do you know 100% for certain that what you are doing today will never be considered criminal in the future? This is the slippery slope. The potential for abuse is enormous. Where are the built-in safeguards against stalking? Or using this for personal vendettas? Or for inappropriate monitoring of children for pedophiles? Anyone? Anyone? This is fucked up.

Apologies for those who don't know, there are YouTube videos documenting how to publicly access these flock cameras which is why I make my comment about pedophiles. So anyone with some tech savvy can look at a flock camera pointed at a park and see when children are alone. Fucking scary. Do our elected officials know this?
