I don't care for John Oliver, but I watched the segment anyway. I didn't know about Fusus - the system that allows the PD to access private business's cameras (with their permission). Turns out Lafayette PD have a contract with them as well as Flock.

These cameras are an unwarranted invasion of privacy. Since its a private company doing the surveillance, it allows law enforcement to access the data WITHOUT probable cause for a search warrant.


They also walk the line of the plain view doctrine and private property laws, adopt all of the reward from our liberal laws and freedoms, but assume none of the risk or responsibility of their platform being used for nefarious purposes. Similar to Uber not wanting to be responsible when a member of there service causes an accident or if some animal harms a driver.

Losers I 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.
