know multiple law enforcement operators that have used Flock to apprehend child predators, murderers, rapists, and other awful criminals. In some of these cases, Flock was the sole lead investigative component that lead to the apprehension. The solution to the little abuse of Flock cameras by a few bad apples is more guardrails, audits, and consequences for the officers that do misuse it, not completely take it away to allow sex offenders to get away with their heinous crimes.

By advocating for the complete removal of Flock, you are also saying that you do not care when law enforcement caught that one child predator. Really sick logic here.


I’d rather keep my liberty, rights and privacy.

Nobody is connecting these so called data points that you are referencing??? Flock is a database of pictures of vehicles, timestamps, and location. Nothing else.

I find it really appalling that people are stupid enough to think the government is capable of some Person of Interest type BS.

They disagree with you.

That is why they install them on walking paths.

They advertise human recognition

Of which?






Before you argue "it's near a road" you can easily see where the cameras are facing.


As for the other part

They do not use something as precise as facial recognition. Instead they just track people who may look alike then turn them in to law enforcement.
quote:

FreeForm does not use facial recognition or person recognition. Searches involving people are based on observable visual characteristics captured on enabled video feeds, such as clothing, visible accessories, direction of travel, or vehicles visible in the same footage. FreeForm is not designed to identify a specific person. That distinction matters. Public safety technology should support investigations while remaining accountable, reviewable, and transparent about how systems work.

It is a troll. But there are people who defend this way.
