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?”
Compromise: kill yourself
The compromise is you scrap every camera, or we do.
Compromise offer: you stop spying on us and we’ll stop breaking your cameras.
Here is your compromise. Shutter your company & we won’t hang you.
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.
What the US should prioritize is opportunity, education, corporate regulation, housing affordability, justice and dealing with corruption.
Gee, then they wouldn’t need the surveillance state.
You’re right, but all the 1% heard was: you think they should have less yacht money.
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.
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.
These concerns aren’t just hypothetical. The Washington Post recently identified 46 cases where police officers have been accused of using Flock technology for unauthorized purposes, including to stalk their wives, girlfriends, or exes.
After listening to an interview with one of the alleged victims, Langley told CBS News, “I apologize. It kills me that she went through that.” At the same time, he insisted, “I don’t think that Flock created police abuse. I think we’re the first company to ever shine a light on it and build the tools to find it.”
Oh fuck off. You don’t get to call yourself a hero for making a problem worse.
Seriously. “Our product is as much a honeypot for corrupt policing as it is for public surveillance” as the way to whitewash this just goes to show how hard they had to workshop this press release. It’s indefensible.
Nah.
No compromise with our rights being infringed upon.
Destroy them all.
Well, since you care less than zero about our safety, Langley, there will be no compromise.
No compromises with fascists.
Corporate CEOs can all have 1 camera each, on their front lawn, for them to hang from.
ok.
we’ll continue ripping down your shitty products and you can just shut the fuck up.
see, isn’t that a nice compromise?
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.
Get rid of them.
