> Garrett: At the highest level, nothing would make me happier than if we had state-by-state regulation on this type of technology. That to me is so crystal clear, because the lack of regulation on this type of technology just shows that our elected officials need to move faster than they have historically.

Agreed. We've had a lot of this - tech companies begging for tech regulation. Without the regulation it seems we'll always get these competitive races to the bottom of what's possible within the confines of the laws that do exist as less and less scrupulous companies enter the fray.

Ugh. It hurts my brain to think about the Venn diagram of privacy advocates and YC sycophants that hang out on Hacker News.

YCombinator and HN would run a "Slit your mommas throat as a service" if they though there were hockey stick growth profit.

Flock, and anybody who funds them are the real domestic terrorists. Anybody who destroys these devices are patriots in my book.

And if I ever serve for jury duty over a case like that, they didn't do it.

Human rights are really important to us!*

Ah so the guy who’s responsible for giving access to whoever and refusing to take down cameras when city/state governments regulate them, is saying: it’s the fault that the states didn’t regulate the technology?

Fuck Flock and their fork tongued CEO. Regulations have been passed. People should be tearing these cameras down if Flock isn’t going to follow the law either.

Now you're bending facts. You can decide they are not guilty of a crime, but you can't make them have not done it.
