The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.
“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”
There should be no compromising our right to privacy and these cameras need to go. Fuck Flock and their cash grab.
Fuck flock AND Axon.
Fuck Flock, Axon, and the entire rest of the surveillance state, both government and private.
Are Axon cameras also tracked on the defrock website?
Interesting that he’s framing it as a balance between privacy and safety instead of privacy and security.
Flock cameras haven’t been proven to make anyone safer.
If anything they actively make people unsafe by falsely flagging drivers with a partial tag match for a stolen vehicle
Don’t forget all the stalking by many various people abusing the database and live feeds
The compromise is that he lives
I think the window of compromise has long since passed. Flock as a company went in with a guns blazing, anti-privacy, record everything, give the information to anyone style business style, and then chose to double and triple down on the style when the controversy/outcry first started. Once you’ve hit the stage where there’s people starting to protest and riot and cities have started to go out of their way to ban the product and retract contracts due to the fact that they’re concerned about public support. It’s too late. That’s a fire that’s not being put out.
And the zombies said “all we want to do is eat your brains, maybe we can compromise…”
“We’re not unreasonable; I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes”
That will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Great reference
We promise to access the brains from behind so your face still looks great!
to be fair, to Magastanians, the eyes are more valuable. That way they wouldn’t lose anything they’d miss.
Compromise offer: you stop spying on us and we’ll stop breaking your cameras.
There is absolutely no reason to track people everywhere they go. We were fine before these things.
Yup, violent crime has been dropping for decades and not an insignificant drop. We did not need mass surveillance, we did not want mass surveillance, nor do we want it now.
Lead levels dropped
The more you learn about Flock, the scarier it gets. They have FULL profiles built on EVERY american that has flock cameras nearby. All your shopping, driving, financial habits are tracked. They know who all your friends and family are and how often you visit, they track your vehicles specific identifiable features like bumper damage, stickers, faded paint, etc. All of that is a complete violation of the 4th amendment and all these companies need to be sued.
Even deeper, they claim to be able to read “pet tags,” which would mean they can read ANY RFID, they know your gym code, if you have a fob for your apartment they can clone it and get in like a kid with a Flipper 0.
Idk how it’s physically possible so hopefully they’re lying, they should have to be basically touching the tag, but they claim they can. I’d believe they can read UHF RFID but that isn’t what they claimed, they specified “pet tags” (which again, would mean they can do all tags.) And that would mean they can add NFC and read your cards in your wallet, if they wanted, because that isn’t far off from RFID. Now ostensibly they’d have to perform the handshake with your card so they’d only have the same partial info a Flipper could pull, but like, still not a fan of that personally.
Source?
Before asking for a source for commonly known information, you should first demonstrate that you’ve done a modicum of searching yourself first.
I mostly agree, though the onus for proof is on the one making a claim. They could have provided a link to backup their claims.
Here’s my compromise: we give the Flock CEO twenty to life instead of sentencing him to public flaying like he deserves.
Im on board with this.
public flaying?
No, no… Blood Eagle.
Elect me your president and I’ll bring back tarring and feathering.
Just wait til Flocko’ween.
It’s wild, because when I was a kid, there was this huge conservative talking point about how trading freedom for security was bad.
Conservatives are all about freedom until there’s profit involved.
Conservatives are liars and thieves who support felons and pedophiles.
Never trust a conservative.
Fuck off with compromise. take your shit and get out no one wants you in case the guillotine wasn’t fucking clear
I can guarantee this has been said already, but the compromise is simple; no flock cameras (or comparable tech) anywhere.
Corporate CEOs can all have 1 camera each, on their front lawn, for them to hang from.
The compromise is you scrap every camera, or we do.
