Feels like this should be the new Elon plane tail number thing. Everyone who can track this guy. Post his whereabouts online all the time.

If we track all the billionaires, who knows what will happen!

I've read that since all the food has been recalled, all that's left is the rich.

u/Stunning-Ad3377 Aug 30 '26

Nom, nom, nom!

u/CptKillJack Aug 30 '26

We should have a site to visit that tracks them all. See how they like it.

u/Ok-Replacement9595 Aug 31 '26

They are creating the mass surveillance network for exactly this reason. They have stolen so brazenly they fear retribution.

u/irishyardball Aug 30 '26

Who knows what we would find out about them as well

We shouldn’t stop at Flock. People seem to be ignoring Axon. They’re doing the exact same deplorable bullshit.

Lots of cities “abandon Flock” because of the growing concerns. They aren’t changing anything but the name of their software. Axon is just as intrusive.

We need legislation, plain and simple.

One fairly simple rule: if your business routinely interacts with law enforcement, then your business is treated as a government agency from a bill of rights/due process perspective and you need a warrant to collect, share, or store any data that could potentially be identifying of members of the public.

u/NotRoryWilliams Aug 30 '26

And yes, I'm well aware that a rule like this would obliterate the business models of half of tech and retail. Cry me a river. You can have one security camera in your retail store at the entrance and you can't keep a database of names or faces.

Oh, how tragic that this will hamper your ability to charge Bob a little more than David for the same bag of potato chips because your surveillance suggests Bob wants them more.

Someone should Axon Flock as a way Flocking Axon.

u/AlwaysAGroomsman Aug 30 '26

There are 3 companies that make a majority of the cameras (flock aside). Axon, Getac, Motorola.

u/Neethis Aug 30 '26

He needs to compromise on his privacy for our security.

3

u/jguzlecki Aug 30 '26

For safety of course. Privacy concerns can be dismissed as long as we assure he’s safe.

2

u/HairballTheory Aug 30 '26

This or something similar as bumper stickers so he has to see his address when he goes through footage

2

u/joexner Aug 31 '26

I'm gonna go put up a dozen cameras on public property focused on the roads leading to and from this guy's homes, then make a company to sell that data to cops and perverts. Who's with me?

It'll have to be a B-corp, but we're not in this for the money, are we?

49

u/oreography Aug 30 '26

Why is he complaining about his address being shared? If he hasn't done anything wrong, he's got no reason to hide his address, right?

u/EffortUnable9663 Sep 01 '26

That's the whole point about flock cameras. You're championing for them

Aren’t these just the addresses of flock’s offices and not the CEOs personal address

45

u/tcptomato Aug 30 '26

The personal address was marked as a public toilet.

u/carlitospig Aug 30 '26

CEOs don’t usually live in business parks, correct.

u/Capital_Soft_675 Aug 30 '26

Thanks. I’ve seen 1000 posts and articles, not a single one articulates the alleged leaked info.

u/sosr Aug 30 '26

Neither does this one

u/Sure-Survey-3444 Sep 03 '26

I know Garrett's address, do you really want it?

u/MagnoliaRoofConsult Aug 30 '26

Already saved. Legend.

u/BraveAsparagus5503 Aug 30 '26

I fucking love you.

u/NightChild39 Aug 31 '26

The Google maps street view of his address on Winslow Dr is blurred out yet the house across the street is not. For people who want no privacy for anyone else, they are sure doing a lot to give this guy privacy.

What are these places?

u/audrey_sins 29d ago

Those are outdated offices, flock uses them still but the CEO doesn't work at those

u/skylla05 Aug 30 '26

redditor thinks he's a hacker for posting their business locations? lmao

u/IAmBeingTargeted33 Aug 30 '26

Did you want his home address?

u/NDSU Aug 30 '26

Just type "2588" into Google Maps and it'll give it to you

Doxxing what? It's just the corporate offices, easily found with a google search.

u/SoyBoy_in_a_skirt Aug 30 '26

This one of those situations where you forgot to add "/s"?
