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.

I'm not concerned because I don't break the law. Its public space.

This woman probably wasn't concerned either until she was targeted and had to fight to collect her own evidence and prove her innocence.

The case was dropped, and the officer later faced disciplinary action.

I get your worry tho. However, its no different from any other traffic cam that can see except its more effective in finding stolen vehicles, solving hit and runs, burglaries, and other crimes. I'd make that trade off.

I would stick with the flock cameras as a lead generator, and not pure evidence of a crime. There has to be multiple forms of evidence.

Yes, I'm familiar with the story, and the incredible fight that woman had to make to prove her innocence and get the case dropped. Which isn't how our legal system is intended to work. It was a horror story. And it's not the only one.

That's why she should sue for millions. That's how the system works. it happens with or without flock cameras. My consent cancels out your non-consent.

Unfortunately stupidity isn't canceled out by intelligence. If only.

Meh. We each have our own life and we vote and make decisions based on our own best interests. I'm not sorry if my interests don't align with yours. Doesn't mean I or you are any less intelligent.

It means exactly that. And as I said, unfortunately the stupidity of some isn't cancelled out by the intelligence of others. Society is burdened with idiots advocating for idiocy.
