What Im saying is it is external surveillance on everyone passing a point as opposed to a GPS placed on a car. You could accomplish the same by posting live officers there. I believe it is distinguishable. SCOTUS could prove me wrong, but they would have to take up the case....dont believe precedent is clear enough here.

5th circuit has already said we are quickly approaching a point where the above logic becomes a dragnet, and with every new camera installed, that point gets closer. Ironically, Flocks best strategy may be to simply stop growing if it wants to survive constitutionally.

There was even one instance last week where a woman was pulled over in one jurisdiction, weapons drawn at her and her family over an erroneous flock entry, and because the municipality forgot to take it down, it happened again in the neighboring jurisdiction. She's essentially been banished from travelling anywhere because of some lazy flock entry.

Data from a human’s entry into NCIC and a state’s own criminal record system is used as the basis to do a separate search on Flock.

Without Flock the same error occurs.

Weapons drawn is an administrative policy issue, not a Flock issue.

I would be curious if there has been any instances of criminal behavior happening there.

IF Flock only records car tags and car images. How would a flock camera pointed at a splash pad reduce crime?
