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?”
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.
It’s a false dichotomy, pure and simple. They try to frame it in a way to make their invasion of your privacy seem as if it’s in your best interest, even though the opposite is true. Typical fascist rhetoric.
they are designed to flag dissidents in the end, nothing about it is safety. why all the sudden 120k cameras being installed in the last year alone.
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
They’ve proven that police are just dumb as fuck.
That was well known before Flock.
Yeah what even is the argument for that? Even if a crime is caught on one of these things they’re still not making anyone safer. The crime still happened and that’s the best case scenario where the crime is caught on tape. From what I’ve seen usually these things provide circumstantial evidence at best.
