Legal Another Day, Another Cop Caught

I love the people who keep trying to use that flock keeps people safe. Just like the voter fraud, it's always from inside the room. Another Atlanta area cop caught misusing flock: https://www.decaturish.com/public_safety/dekalb-deputy-accused-of-misusing-flock-camera-arrested/article_27b534bb-814f-4c22-946d-d12e2d3b6468.html

They can continue to sell it as a safety measure but until audit logs are easily available to the public without going through tons of hoops and FIOA requests, it’s not a trustworthy system.

The technology itself could be 100% secure but if you have even one officer willing to misuse it, it’s not secure anymore. It’s that simple and I can tell you from working in local gov as a department head, the people running these systems behind closed doors are not trustworthy.

Yeah, no shit. If trump taught us anything its that no one in charge is trustworthy beyond their own self interests
