I really, really hope people don't go out en masse and destroy every single Flock camera that is unconstitutionally filming and profiling them, because it would be a terrible crime to do so. Definitely do not do this people.
Not American. What is flock? Is this like a ring doorbell? Are people suggesting to destroy personal property of their neighbours?
Or is this like some government cameras that are in public spaces filming ?
Government contracted cameras in public spaces.
Not just cameras. They also have RFID, WiFi, Bluetooth, and probably other crap I don't remember. The idea is that even if the face rec doesn't identify you, they still can by probing for credit cards and mobile devices. Disgusting.
Fair point. I was trying to be succinct, not intentionally vague.
