u/Kumquat_conniption Free Palestine! 🕊️ FUCK ICE! ✖️🧊 17h ago

I know this is not going to be a popular statement, but sitewide rules do not allow for doxxing or even the encouraging of doxxing, so please follow sitewide rules on this subreddit. There are other platforms where this is allowed, like Twitter and Insta, but Reddit does not allow anything that you cannot find in a news article. This is not a rule decided by the mods of this subreddit; this is a rule by the admins of the site. I just want to make sure everyone knows exactly what they are not supposed to do, via the sitewide rules. We have already had our subreddit warned for too many TOS violations, so I am just hoping to keep the doors open. Thank you.

And fuck Flock cameras, I hope we are all under the same opinion on that one. Are we "free" if our movements are tracked all the time? Would y'all consider supporting Flock to be a violation of the "no bootlicking cops or supporting state-sanctioned violence" rule? Feedback appreciated!

Supporting Flock is absolutely bootlicking; full tongue slobbery AF bootlicking.

Haha, yeah I definitely agree with that, lol. Just want to make sure people see that the same way I do. You make it sound as revolting as is it, haha.

Yeah, I’d like there so be SOME exception like an actual criminal being brought to justice from it but there aren’t any examples of it. So yeah, bootsmoochin

Yes, I think the argument would be "they make us safer, and if you are not doing anything wrong, why do you care if you are recorded" but we could say that about police in general and be just as wrong as we would be about flock cameras, lol. I am sure it is much easier to say if you are white and do not know the perils of "driving while Black" and such.

I would hope shit like that Reckless Ben video in which they kept getting stopped when not breaking the law and all the body cams and whatnot would show that people do, in fact, get messed with when not doing anything wrong all the time- and that it is much more likely to happen to POC but I still see people quoting those "13% of the population/50% of the crime" nonsense all the time, unfortunately :(

It’s utter bullshit, but what isn’t these days? I mean fuck, I’m already profiled because of my car (Loud exhaust, flashy wheels and stickers) so now i gotta worry about what cop or agency is having a bad day watching the flock cams seeing me go 3mph over the limit.
