Flock Cameras: For or Against?

[r0ckyreed]

I go back and forth on this. I don’t feel like I have a strong opinion either way. Flock has solved a lot of crimes that would have been harder to solve without it. But Flock has also been misused and there is some concern over how much power should we give the government over the individual.

There is no expectation of privacy in public. People can film you without your permission and there are already cameras at stoplights and speed cameras.

Flock isn’t just a camera, it is linked to AI and I’m not sure the extent of how much one’s personal information will be involved. We have the 2nd amendment right to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government. Democracy is fragile. Flock has the potential to give the government more power to exploit its citizens. Just a thought.

But if we are to ban Flock, then the logic follows that stoplight and speed cameras should be outlawed. Filming in public is a first amendment right, but maybe we need to question this? 

I think most people are overreacting to Flock even though their concerns are valid. I’m still not sure where I stand, but I may be leaning towards pro Flock.

What do you think about Flock?

George Orwell first talked an all -seeing surveillance state called "Big Brother" in 1949.

Will it someday come to that? I don't know.  But I am glad they are putting cameras on school buses to catch people that ignore the flashing stop lights when children are crossing the road.

Some of those cameras have use like in certain buildings. But speed cameras are ridiculous. We gotta draw the line somewhere.

I don’t think we should give the government that much control. Flock is already thinking of expanding to drones. 

We should be able to vote and consent to this. What is stopping the government from putting cameras in our houses? Our phones are already being tapped into.

I think flock is great, for criminals, just put someone else's plate numbers on your car when you want to crime and you can do whatever you want

It's especially a problem when the Epstain class psycho satanists are in control of the US government.

Not just the citizens, but their enemies, and the whole of society. 

My biggest concern is it would lead to an enormous concentration of wealth and power. 

Check this shit out:

It's hard to fathom all the ways they could use it to acquire more resources and power.

Imagine having 24/7 feeds monitoring hundreds of thousands of businesses.

Imagine if Palantir got it's filthy hands on this shit in some sort of horrific merge.

Flock:        reality = data 

Palantir:   data = intelligence 

Some fucking Orwellian shit. Human misuse as well.

I like to keep a Flock in my toilet. Give them a show.
