Flock CEO Garrett Langley was motivated to update Flock’s safety controls after realizing just how many people lack trust in law enforcement.
Has this dude really not seen the amount of disciplinary actions taken against cops for stalking and misusing the system? And that's the ones that actually audit it. You think Dirtroads County sherriff dept is auditing it?

Now do the bluetooth beacon scanning part of many Flock installations. Oh, silly aggy thought it was just pictures of license plates, I bet.

That is an extremely embarrassing quote for a CEO of a security company. I'm sure it's to CYA but he sounds like an idiot.

It needs to be cut-and-dry federal law that these things can only be used as part of executing felony warrants, and all searches used are displayed in a public access, easy to sort database.

All he see's is a growing trend of negativity and even lawsuits will mount.
"Hey, look everyone, I am on your side and will implement more controls"

the potential for abuse is there no doubt, but I find it very hypocritical that the biggest critics of these are woke liberals who were crying for more big daddy government and cheering for a severe loss of privacy during COVID.
Not sure you should have an expectation of a lot of privacy while driving in public. And there's the upside that ICE can use this to catch more illegals so they can GTFO our country.

At least here in the Houston area, they resigned, and the department said that is good enough and no policy changes will be coming.
That stinks. There should be criminal charges for mishandling and misusing sensitive information for malicious purposes.

I don't know how to explain you love dragnet style continuous surveillance that totally isn't being used in nefarious ways at all. yeah the government would totally never use those, especially if they try and pull a covid type event again and tell everybody to stay home. yeah they would totally never ever do that.
Hey, you're only supposed to look at the one hand that's presented to you as being positive and good, not the other hand.

No blue state will ever outlaw them.

Just saw a report on the local Fox affiliate in KC about several Flock cameras in the KC metro being cut down or damaged. I guess some people are going to handle the Flock issue on their own.

There’s no need for Flock cameras in north Arkansas because there’s barely any crime. Makes me wonder WTH I’m thinking living in Louisiana

California

Make this make sense. I'd rather we get rid of the crooked cops and catch more criminals. It is a win-win to anyone that has an IQ above 75.
Trading in your freedom and your rights for safety. Someday the system WILL be used against you. Thankfully, we haven't reached that stage yet. I'd prefer the tools do not exist at all for us to get to that point.

Local jurisdictions and city councils in 23 states have pulled back from or scrapped their Flock contracts. Notable states involved in these local cancellations and deactivations include:
California (e.g., Los Angeles chose not to renew its contract following a high false-positive audit)
Massachusetts (including Salem, Framingham, and Cambridge)
Virginia (including Harrisonburg)
New York (including Saranac Lake)
Wisconsin
Minnesota (including Isanti County)
Other localized rejections or deactivations have occurred in states spanning Rhode Island, Connecticut, Texas, and Washington

If you have an iPhone or android device you need to be more worried about that than a flock camera.

Putting audit controls in place and reducing storage from 30 days to 7 days
Was that the carrot Flock used to get the contracts intact?

Maybe when your IQ gets up to double digits you won't need help understanding.

OK, tell us what Bluetooth is doing in Flock cameras.
