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?”

Fuck these clowns. Their “compromise” is finding some way to quiet the bad press while continuing to do what they’ve been doing.

Remember that town Winona where all eight of their Flock cameras were cut down?

CNN has an interview with a town councilman who says “we’ll just wait until all the news dies down and everyone will forget about all this”

Of course. It's the natural evolution of a police state to become a prison state.
