Oh no my super secret license plate! definitely something that is normally hidden instead of being on the front and back of my car for anyone to see and photo.
Sure, but now there's a highly vulnerable network of cameras that reports wherever you pass to everyone way beyond the few people that saw you go around.
Flock creates a dossier that allows an individual to be stalked and framed. This permits rouge users clamoring for more power to consolidate their toolkit and expedite their rise. People get framed and stolen from all the time and this will certainly make it worse.
Are you talking about the linked website or Flock itself?
Visit deflock.me/map to see if you live near a camera. https://deflock.me/map
Do they get permission or permit to install them?

Why do you think so? LOVEINT is indeed a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVEINT
I know it's a thing. That was just my reaction reading the OP. First paragraph: reasonable, if ignoring that access it not likely to be unrestricted willy-nilly. Second paragraph: not as reasonable given that Amazon likely comply without issue with us intelligence, and sell the data to third parties, which the police could just buy (similar has been done) to avoid consent or legal obstacles. Third paragraph: out of n…

With the right access controls and approval processes, that can be fully solved in a week.

ANPR cameras which the rest of the world (and apparently America) have had for decades have recently become big news in America, I believe because they're now being used for immigration purposes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number-plate_recogni... I'm not sure why these are so bad but generally everyone loves things like Ring cameras which do the same thing but with people rather than vehicles. I suspect…

If a police officer potentially stalking his ex is the worst failure mode this guy can come up with, let's keep the Flock cameras. With the right access controls and approval processes, that can be fully solved in a week.
What do you think the chances are that we could invent a system like that? You don't think Flock and the police would find a way to circumvent it do you?

Downvote all you want but adtechs like magnite, ttd, and applovin Have way more personal data on you and use it to influence. I'll take safety over ads any day of the week.
