    Its almost like privacy is a good thing.

    Hope nothing bad happens to you. Surely not. Flock cameras make everything safer right?

      This is a thing? How many zeroes to your net worth do you have to be to obtain this opt, or is this readily available to the masses?

        Fairly sure you can “opt out” from being shown if you live at an address and fill out some form. I think it’s available, but not exactly advertised or promoted as an option.

        I’ve seen random neighborhoods where 1 or 2 houses will randomly be blurred out.

        I believe that you may be thinking of the newest development in the field of Advanced Manure Delivery: The Super Flamer 3000.

        Think of the SF3000 as a holistically synergetic approach to fertilizizing and pesticide treatment. Combining well known ranged incendiary technology, with state of the art manure slurry dispensation technology, the SF3000 is applied as a pre-seeding treatment. By using the manure slurry as fuel, the SF3000 is able to reduce infestation of both insects and weeds in your fields, while staying biologically sustainable.

        Look out for our TV commercials, we’ve spared no expense. We’ve got Aaron Paul to reprise his character Jesse Pinkman, in order to record our new slogan: “shits on fire yo!”

        If the concept sounds appealing we also offer the SF4000x pro, which applies AI and vision technology, to target individual undesired plants with directed high speed streams of fire.

        Ok that was actually pretty rewarding to write. I had the concept bouncing around for hours. But oh boy, imagine being killed with a pig piss fueled flamethrower, I’ve got several other ways of dieing that I’d prefer.

    This is a periodic reminder. I’m on mobile so I’m copying a previous comment.

    Flock Safety is only the tip of the problem.

    Some districts are de-Flocking only to install an Axon ALPR network service. Keep fighting until your community outlaws all ALPRs and ALPR lookups are inadmissable in court.

    There are other technologies that are already in use and widely abused by law enforcement such as IMSI catchers, geofence warrants and Drones as First Responder. Learn what your district allows and be a civil nuisance untill that shit is blocked.

    Judges have long ceased tightly constraining judicial warrants, and most courts accept the good faith exception, so US and state courts cannot be trusted with any overreaching surveillance technology or forensic tools. This includes chromatic field drug tests and detection dogs.

    He’s cool with stealing all of our data, and making us feel helpless about what others are doing with it, so I don’t see why he shouldn’t feel that same fear.

    Does he feel unsafe? Just put up a Flock camera on your house, Garrett! So we can all be sure that you are as safe as a bug all snug in a rug.

      Was about to say the same thing: aren’t Americans supposed to accept a trade-off between security and privacy? He’s a public figure, he should get total security with cameras everywhere around his house, and their feed should be public so that his security is crowd-managed!

    You can’t earn so much money just to expect the responsibility won’t catch up with you. This one is a social responsibility for the impact caused.

    If he wanted a low profile, no risk job, he could always opt to not become an executive in the first place.
