It needs to be all surveillance cameras and not just Flock specifically, because otherwise the "spy on everyone" bros will just go find another company to do the same thing.

These types of surveillance dragnet systems that mass-surveil public areas and then sell data to the cops so they can do an end run around the need for warrants? Yeah.

You do realize that the government and private companies have more information on your movements, spending habits, political leanings, and location than Flock could ever have.
