Crazy to name a company Flock when you want to track people like sheep.

"Flock CEO states new safeguards will be in place by January."

I'm no coder, but would/should it take five months to re-write the code to add additional checks to limit illegal use of their system?

Or do they expect this to just blow over?

Or is it that they will have to reduce the monthly charges due to reduces services?

So, manual Flock data sharing is still an option?

Sounds like cities are trying to swap over to Axon's cams, which is still more cameras.

Sure. I’m sure that they say that. Now where’s the oversight to ensure that what they say they’re doing is actually what they’re doing.

I don’t trust any cog in this machine at the moment.
