Big difference in something I can opt out of (turn your phone off or get a flip phone, etc) vs the government tracking my movement and I have 0 way to stop it except never leave my house

You have a problem with your local police, not Flock cameras. Flock cameras ARE NOT red light or speeding cameras. They are not watching you all the time. They are basically LPR cameras, i.e. license plate readers. Enter the license plate number and issuing state.and determine where the vehicle suspected of a crime has traveled. Most people here have no idea what they're talking about. And they are invaluable solving crimes, especially those crimes where the suspects cross jurisdictions. They are not big brother spying on you.

The problem is that flock is a private company and the government/law enforcement are able to obtain footage/tracking information directly from them without probable cause, subpoena, or warrant.

It’s even worse because it’s a private company contracting with the gov and also selling all its data to anyone.

Lot of brown shirts in this thread.

I want to give you a good example of why flock cameras should be banned
It's kind of a learning exercise
This is presumably a booking photo, I actually have no idea who this guy is but assuming y'alls internet works like mine, search it with google lens
It pulls up all kind of results about different nfl players
These big companies facial recognition technology doesn't work

You miss the fact that that they're not just cameras. They're scanning bluetooth beacons (your phone, airpods, smart watches, etc), they link transmitting devices like phones to license plates, etc.
But it sure as shite didn't help when a group of thieves ripped off $30k of Ford tail lights out of three trucks in my gated parking garage in one night, because they stole a plate from some old lady in Richmond that drove a Buick.

Because their customer is primarily law enforcement and government. The system is built for that usage. All states and local jurisdictions can participate as they please, meaning it's not integrated in all fifty states and all counties/municipalities in the country. Cameras on interstates are used for traffic management.

So your rant about the cameras nefarious usage is contradicted by the criminal using a stolen plate to defeat the system. How ironic.

Geez. We need someone to come up with some kind of device that somehow creates a signal that fricks with these things.
Weve gone hundreds/thousands of years without this level of surveillance, but now it's something we can't live without. We are being turned into Chyna by this govt.

All things can be corrupted. No doubt in people being concerned about their privacy and rights..I'll never argue that. As a tool used correctly, this is a big winner in solving crimes. In the wrong hands, it's as dangerous as the handguns that are routinely stolen from unlocked vehicles.

We should propose that they be used to identify people of color for deportation.
That will end the flock cameras quickly.
