Police have to do whats necessary to catch suspects just the same as suspects do whats necessary to commit a crime and not get caught. How else are you gonna catch people?

People want crime reduced but are the ones committing crimes. People in America have become too double standard

Wrong, he's in the data business. Cities have always had some sort of security camera solution. However, that is not what Flock offers. Sure they provide the camera, but what they offer is the massive amounts of searchable structured data.

If history has taught us anything, it is that people will abuse the power they are given. We see that already with Flock and cops, with the amount of cases where they are using the system to track their exes and significant others. There needs to be a standard set of guardrails.

He doesnt sell cameras, he sells access to the cloud. He also doesnt sell direct access, where cops can view video feeds, he sells algorithmic filters and alerts (like suspect X is in area Y). Cops dont have unfettered access to the cameras in their jurisdiction, its filtered.

Flock defines the filter, flock defines what the suspect is.

Thats the problem....

this is what happens when a society is fed on a 24/7 crime-media paranoia news cycle and told that a "law and order" authoritative governing mentality prevails over actual logic, justice, or common sense. do people not realize this all stems from a long history of people glorifying cops, military, and hyper-surveillance with zero criticism allowed?

WTF are you talking about?
If the cameras they sell are responsible of incriminating the wrong people they are part of the problem. How else? Using reliable tools and training smart people with reliable processes to catch the criminals. Wanting to reduce crimes is not an open door to abuse your power, endanger people's lives, reputation adn future.

I haven't trusted AI since the beginning. Articles I once read now have so many misspellings I know they are AI generated or Voice Recognition blunders. I like crime fighting but not at the cost of innocent people having to prove they didn't do something that "evidence" is at the very least questionable. I'm angry now. You don't want to accidentally detain me. I know too many lawyers that have bills to pay.

As the surveillance state in the U.S. grows, more people are finding themselves wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit. Unfortunately, the 7-year-old Flock company leading the charge has taken a hands-off approach to deal with it.
