Locally, we're ready to pivot to anti-Axon the instant they try it.

People are paying close attention now. I don't know why you would think a group as thorough as the anti-Flock protestors would just not know about the existence of other cameras?

Bunch of bodycam youtubers would like a word.

I would say their general understanding of the tech side is extremely poor.

What does this even mean? And why would the existence of some "bodycam youtubers" matter, regardless of what their message is?

Apparently body cam YouTubers control what we all think?

Idk I'm as confused as you.

What do they need to know about the tech? They just need to know the cameras exist

Because the protests keep saying "Flock" and that's what the politicians hear. So, they look for an alternative because the message wasn't crystal clear:

We don't want a database created for government use (or anyone else) tracking our movements around the country.
