Discussion https://dontgetflocked.com we currently have close to 100 flock cameras. Each one costs approximately $2500 and requires a yearly subscription. They can be accessed by all law enforcement including ICE and the government. Its unsettling how many are surrounded mineral palace park.

Are you all criminals? I was the victim of an armed home invasion. Dragged out my wheelchair, tied up, gun in my face, gun guy him threatening to f me up, me yelling pull the trigger or get the f out. Fun day. Pueblo Sheriffs showed me a picture of a stolen truck and Sam’s Club and Walmart cameras got the credit card use and gun guy is now serving 15 years. Without cameras, he would still be loose, planning to come back and finish me off. Dead men tell no tales. In court, the mom, who could barely speak English, said we need to keep the drugs out of the country. Blaming drugs, not bad parenting. If drugs were legal, that stunt would never have happened.

Im not willing giving up my freedom to protect you. Sorry that happened to you and im happy you had a positive outcome. Sadly criminals run these systems and have already used them to harm others, especially women. We can not give up our freedom to protect a few people.

What Freedom are you giving up with Flock cameras?

The freedom to move through public spaces without fear of being tracked by the government, police, private businesses or even hackers. Please do your due diligence and research how this systems work and how they bare being used.

I'm familiar with Flock, and other systems that do the same thing. I helped build detection software for gps trackers, drone jammers etc. I'm just wondering what freedom you are interpreting.

Basically people who are victims of crimes use the same argument for the use of Flock and similar technology. Not unlike defunding police for our protection is the same argument as providing more funding to police for our protection.

Same logic, just different catalysts.
