I am if they prevent terrorism and if they're abused by the police.

Remember though, the police are not always friends of liberty.

That's the funny part, they probably all have ring cameras and spying devices at their house.


Oh and we have 120k flock cameras. Not 400k. It helps not to lie.



If we want to talk about being propagandized, people regurgitating that fake number are the ones falling for propaganda.

Then you're an idiot.

They have helped reduce crime and catch criminals


I can name several things that would accomplish that goal that are also not compatible with a country that was founded on the basis of protecting citizens from government tyranny and over reach. We could catch a lot more criminals if we just shitcanned the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th amendments. You probably like that idea, right? 'Cause it's basically the same thing as this.

I am not a criminal


Actually, I'll bet you are. I'll bet you violate some asinine federal environmental law without even knowing it, like picking up a bluejay feather (yep, that's against federal law).

The same people that support Flock cameras also believe the government is corrupt, yet somehow are trusting the same government.

Same with Back the Blue, until it's you that gets harassed by jackboot authoritarian cops because your number was flagged by Flock Ai and you get pulled over, or they show up at your door accusing you of a crime and try to get you on camera to admit guilt.


Should your free speech rights be suppressed by the government if you don't anything to say?

Can you provide some more details?

Lets say that a lockdown doesnt happen again. What do these cameras do that have eveyone triggered?

Ring cameras, and social media is the irony of modern life. People will willingly install an internet connected Amazon camera on their porch, carry a GPS tracker in their pocket that logs their exact location 24/7, post their entire lives on Facebook, and then get furious about a camera on a public street.

The infrastructure for tracking has been built incrementally for decades largely with your permission.

I'm cool with them if everyone could have access to them, period. Like, they be completely available to the public just as much to police.

Tell me how my local government uses this against me.

As shite as it is with everything you mentioned, I still have to agree to it.

And I evaluate whether or not the tracking is worth it

How can I opt out of being seen by Flock cameras?

I don’t understand how we went from 20k of them just a few years ago to like 400k now. I am ok with a few at major intersection on the interstate etc but not fricking millions of them, no way in hell 400k are justified. I am sure China, N Korea, Russia and Israel have already hacked into them.


I am ok with private subdivisions having flock cameras if they want

I am not ok with Police departments having them or having access to them without a warrent. I am ok with police having cameras, but they should have to do it themselves

but even if we are going to have these....at least put these mother frickers where they can actually help fight crime. put them in the high crime areas....north BR, north Lafayette, north LC, bad parts of NOLA and SPort.

stop putting that shite on the interstate and in affluent areas....thats dumb AF.

if they are going to break the constitution at least use them for good, shits annoying how, similar to TSA, they dont want to be seen as profiling....frick that. put the damn thing where crime is actually happening if you are going to put them at all.

but I hate it overall, I dont want to be like london where you are under the eye of a camera at all times.

When in public, you have no expectation of privacy.

Flock outrage is ridiculous. Same people upset about flock invasion of privacy have smart teck tracker throughout their house, freely give their personal information, personality profile and location to social media apps, go into stores that have security cameras recording them drive on streets with unknown number of vehicles with dash cams recording them, rave about the technology in the car safety systems, use credit and debit cards that collects data on where and when you buy, have Costco and Sam's memberships that track you.

All the private apps and tracking collect data about you that they then sell to other businesses that collect data and use that data to invade your privacy.

But you all are worried about flock cameras because the police have access to it.nnherenis a tip, don't be a criminal and a predator on society and you have nothing to worry about.

Flock all day every day!!

If the government really wants to catch illegals, all they have to do is show up at a Walmart or any home improvement store. Do you really believe they are using Flock cameras to catch illegals? To do so, it would take an enormous amount of resources, and how would they even go about catching them with the cameras?

Yours is not the voice of a free man. It is the voice of a slave. Along with all the others here who agree to unlimited surveillance.

I'd like to see the statistics on the reduction of crime because of Flock cameras. I am sure there is none because safety of citizens is not much of a priority of our ruling class.

I do not understand the outrage of flock cameras If you own, carry and use a cell phone daily.


Can the police track my cell phone without a warrant? Wasn't geofencing ruled illegal?

Is carrying a cell phone considered opting in? Can I leave my phone at home?

It's a false equivalency.

I don't understand freedom-loving Americans who aren't against mass surveillance simply for the sake of it. Did we forget our roots? Did we forget what makes the USA special?
