Didn’t take any jabs there, guy. Pure blood here, buddy.And just to be clear, there’s a big difference between facial-recognition cameras and vehicle-recognition cameras.
Facial recognition, I’d have a problem with that. I don’t think the government needs to be identifying and tracking people everywhere they go.
Vehicle recognition at major intersections, I have zero problems with it.
If a vehicle is connected to a murder, kidnapping, carjacking, trafficking, stolen vehicle, or another serious crime, I want law enforcement to have the ability to locate that vehicle and potentially get someone dangerous off the street.

Flock cameras take pictures of the occupants as well, and a lot more than that.

I'm not a fan of these but they didn't just pull a random over.


And they were right on the human side failure. They didn't remove the vehicle after being cleared.

So getting rid of them or not having them isn't going to save you from human cops fricking up.

NOPE!!!! Wrong!!! take pictures of license plates . From their website, if you have proof otherwise you need to file a Lawsuit and become a millionaire .

License plate reader (LPR) system: a system of one or more automated high-speed cameras used in combination with data processing to convert images of vehicles and license plates into computer-readable data.

LPR alert: a notification generated by an LPR system indicating that a vehicle passed an LPR camera with a license plate or vehicle characteristics that match data held by the National Crime Information Center, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or other database or hot list.

LPR data: Information collected by or stored in the LPR system, which includes the following:

License plate image
Vehicle image
Vehicle characteristics (e.g. color, make)
License plate number
License plate state
Date
Time
Camera location

The vehicle was wanted for questioning in connection with a MURDER.
I don’t care if guns were drawn. If a vehicle connected to a homicide is located, a felony stop is exactly what I would expect law enforcement to do. That’s not “harassment.” That’s officers taking a potentially dangerous situation seriously and protecting themselves and the public. And as far as Flock cameras go, I have ZERO problem with them.
These cameras can help law enforcement locate vehicles connected to murders, carjackings, armed robberies, kidnappings, human trafficking, stolen vehicles, and other serious crimes. If a camera helps identify and locate a vehicle connected to a violent crime, I want law enforcement to have that tool.If a Flock camera helps get a murderer, carjacker, trafficker, or other violent criminal off the street, I’m all for it.

If you’re worried about the technology, ask for transparency and accountability. But don’t pretend that locating a vehicle connected to a murder is somehow the problem.


This might be a reasonable argument if it only happened once.

lmao - yeah, because government is super awesome at efficiency, speed and accuracy. There's no way there could ever be unintended consequences.

Annual Impact: Flock Safety reports that its network supports over 1 million criminal investigations annually.

Missing Persons: The system assists in locating more than 10,000 missing persons each year.Stolen Vehicles:

Daily alerts routinely help recover thousands of stolen cars and identify wanted suspects.

A little research will probably show the chinese are using NGOs to drum up all this uproar. Think about it, getting rid of flock cameras will cause the deaths of 1000s, just another version of fentanyl, and its working like a charm judging by this board

Exactly.

Feelings or thoughts on Flock aside, this is a human frick up times two. Be mad at the lazy badges.

ask this simple question? If your loved one was murdered, kidnapped, being sex trafficked, would you want law enforcement to have this tool at their disposal? Yes or no?

Mass surveillance is a violation of the 4th amendment. I oppose it in all cases.

Does that answer your question?

They aren't just at gun stores. I understand the concern though.


quote:

If a camera is pointing directly at a specific storefront (like a gun shop, a strip mall, or a pharmacy), the decision often comes down to the business owner or commercial property management company.

Many businesses install them at their own expense or partner with local security initiatives to deter burglaries, catalytic converter thefts, and lot break-ins.

In some cases, a strip mall management company will blanket their entire parking lot and access roads with cameras to protect all the tenants in the complex.

Coming from the guy who would apparently rather let his loved one remain kidnapped or their murder go unsolved than allow law enforcement to use a license-plate reader? That’s rich.
You called me “retarded,” but your argument is basically that protecting your privacy from a camera reading a license plate that is not worried about WTF you’re doing, is more important than giving law enforcement another tool to find a kidnapped person, solve a murder, or get a violent criminal off the street.
