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?”

“I don’t think that Flock created police abuse. I think we’re the first company to ever shine a light on it and build the tools to find it.”

How is that better? Who is going to investigate this? The people who use the cameras are going to investigate themselves and find that themselves did nothing wrong.

It like saying we created this tool but you guys only found out how bad is was because the people that use it are dishonest, unethical, and corrupt.

This is him saying "Let them eat cake."
