You have no issue because you think you are on the side that won't be done wrong.

No matter the info you see yourself as a do-gooder. You don't picture yourself as the guy with his gun to his head because the system can't detect a license plate that can have the same number despite being in a different series.

Then we should probably be dedicating more funding to nip this bigger problem in the bud, instead adversely affecting innocent civilians who subsidize the program. At this point doing bad l.e. work faster isn't a bug, it's a feature.

I’ve done bad things. I’ve been arrested. I’ve even had a literal gun to my head twice. What makes you come up with that stupid line of reasoning ?

If your conversational strategy is to just make up shite you don’t know, then this is not the conversation for you.

That probably had a lot to do with why some agencies are cancelling their contracts.

Sounds like you have a history of bad decisions.

Yep. Learned from them. Made better decisions. Eventually retired in my 50s because of the better judgement that resulted.

Once again, not what my cursory glance is showing. Can you point me toward documented evidence that this is happening?


Not the point. The guy in the video had flock used to track and intimidate him because he dared speak out at City Counsel meetings. That is clearly a violation of his 1st and likely 4th amendment rights.

They’re going to absolutely 100% be used against political opponents. If it hasn’t already happened we’re probably like a week away from it.

Congrats. You just made the best argument for gun control there is....i.e. people cannot be trusted to behave in a non criminal way with this tool, therefore the tool should be banned.

How is a camera on the service road of an interstate recording vehicles passing by supposed to intimidate me?

I’m not an illegal alien, don’t have active or inactive warrants, and pay my vehicle registration and have insurance.

All kinds of law enforcement have already been caught using it to spy on people in their lives, like ex-girlfriends.

Chief of BR Police linked Flock to multiple solved crimes over the past 2 years including finding a 1 year old kidnapped victim and over $2,000,000 in recovered stolen vehicles.

Is spying the right term? Again, these are recording people on public roads and highways.

This is a bullshite way to solve crime. I have a better solution.

Build 10x more prisons and actually put criminals away for good. Did El Salvador need flock cameras to solve their crime problem?

Almost like more surveillance=more crime solved. They should definitely get drones overhead with thermal vision (following everyone) and start recording conversations and tracking Bluetooth and cell signals. Just think of a world without crime.

It kind of sounds like you think people can't be trusted with freedom, so they need to be tracked in case crime happens.

These sorts of threads remind me of a time when people said they live in the free world, as if to contrast something Soviet Russia would do (warrantless tracking, presumption of guilt, no expectation of privacy). Instead they are willing to trade freedom as currency for security in the naive hope it pays off.

Because the police, who arent held accountable for much of anything, can be directed by the mayor or city counsel members to track your every move and harrass and follow you, just like they did in the video. Dont think that police and government are above this. They are not.

Then why aren’t they flagging the cars with lapsed insurance and getting those drivers off the road?

Never mind. We are just becoming the lyrics of the 1981 Rush song Red Barchetta.
quote:

[Verse 1] My uncle has a country place that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm before the Motor Law
And on Sundays, I elude the eyes and hop the turbine freight To far outside the wire where my white-haired uncle waits [Chorus]
quote:

Red Barchetta” is the story of a car chase in an Orwellian future. The song’s narrator seeks to escape urban dystopia by driving an illegal antique motor car around the countryside, while two hovering law enforcement vehicles pursue and attempt to apprehend him. The titular Barchetta is a refurbished old Ferrari which can be seen as a symbol of creativity and freedom.
