You can use this map to determine how many Flock cameras are tracking you on a daily basis.
0 for me unless I go to Vicksburg or Natchez for something.

Nothing is illegal about taking photos in public...

A family member in Alabama had to file a police report on an old boyfriend harassing her. He kept coming to her house even after having to be arrested. While waiting for trial, the police let him know they were tracking him every where he went as a warning to stay away from her. They lost him after a while. He had changed license plates and the family member was able to read the unregistered tag he replaced it with from her doorbell camera. She gave it to the police and it took them 3 minutes to find he was in Texas. He probably doesn’t plan to show up for trial but they know where to find him.

Oh sweetheart, that is what they tell you they are doing while actually doing much much worse.
The 100% have the capability to feed into facial recognition but so far have led with "we only track cars" to get the entire system rolled out with support of naive citizens such as in this thread.

Flock cameras helped find my stolen car within 12 hours and get it back to me, fwiw

Yeah, I read an article about Flock selling their AI tools to a prison somewhere. Would have to dig it up, but if they can’t track people via facial recognition (among other methods) then I don’t see much point in using their service in a prison, where nobody is driving around.
I think the bigger concern about Flock is who they decide to sell access to, though. Right now they say it’s only government agencies/municipalities, businesses (e.g. for security purposes), and HOA’s. But tomorrow it could be insurance companies, advertisers, private investigators, employers, who knows?
They’re a private company building out infrastructure to track millions of Americans and analyze their movements. As far as I’m aware, there’s little/no legislation preventing them from selling access to whomever they please.
And it seems the government - or at least a good chunk of it - has little incentive to intervene because our law enforcement agencies have shifted toward using private companies as a workaround to bypass due process. Why get a warrant or subpoena for someone’s location data or browsing history when you just.. buy the information from Flock/data brokers without involving the courts at all?
It bothers me a bit that our society has just given up on the right to privacy. I feel like if you could go back in time to the early days of the internet and show people how all of this data is being used today, they’d see red flags everywhere. But now it’s been normalized to the point that the majority of the population simply doesn’t seem to give a shite.

Or not have a phone at all.
And you can choose to stay inside where the cameras can’t see you. Those are about equally inconvenient.

You couldn't convince anyone after GenX to give up the web or their phone. They couldn't function without it.

It's more than simple cameras you dipshit. Educate yourself.

I wonder who paid for this??? My guess is my federal tax dollars paid for this “security”.
Taxpayer-funded government agencies are primarily paying for Flock cameras on highways. Local law enforcement departments, such as county sheriffs and city police, typically pay $2,500 to $3,500 per camera annually through contracts that cover hardware, software, and maintenance.
Additional funding often comes from state and federal grants. For example, Summit County, Colorado, secured $210,000 specifically for a camera program through efforts by a U.S. Congressman, while other agencies utilize state grant money to offset costs.
•Primary Payers: Local police, sheriffs, and city/town budgets.
•Secondary Payers: State transportation agencies and federal grant programs.
•Cost Structure: Annual subscription fees per camera, not one-time hardware purchases.

You are severely up-scaling the capabilities of the same government you people criticize for being too stupid lol
I have experience in facial recognition technology. We are FAR from the surveillance state you tinfoil hat gurus think we are heading. Any facial recognition request in law enforcement is highly scrutinized and heavily regulated in the court/legal space. "Mass Facial Recognition is upon us" is literally the same thing as saying flying cars are going to happen soon.
Stop commenting on discussions filled with conspiracies

They found some of the escaped OPP prisoners within an hour because of facial recognition. The capabilities are there.
This is private business capabilities approved with the oversight of government.

You are assuming this.
Facial Recognition was used in their capture, yes. But facial recognition did not cause them being recaptured.
It likely gave investigators an area for them to search in. Again, if you are not a criminal, why do you care about facial recognition? What skeletons do you have in your closet? I hope you still have to type in a passcode for your Iphone lol.

You won't even post on this site without being anonymous and you aren't doing anything illegal. And this site doesn't even have the power to try and convict you for made up crimes.
And yes, they used facial recognition to track the suspects. The cameras aren't that special. The software attached to them is.

Your argument here makes zero sense.
You are leaving out the powerful institution called "the court system" and "evidence"

No court system nor evidence is needed to access the information. It is a trust but verify system.
Ill let you guess how the audits hold up. Flock says "we don't own the info" local yokels say "we don't know what info they are collecting"
Still waiting for your password and login. You must be some sort of criminal to not want to have that open to access.
