Ole Ben Franklin is particularly relevant here:

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

In other words, Flock can go fuck themselves with a stiff wire brush.

Compromise: Quit now, and keep your head.

What the fuck kind of compromise? "Let us technical loophole around your constitutional rights just a little bit?"

How about we compromise and let that guy in Tennessee hang you just a little bit.

Compromise dez nuts

Fucking fascist.

Here's my compromise: we give the Flock CEO twenty to life instead of sentencing him to public flaying like he deserves.

I propose this compromise:

• No surveillance, at all.
• Flock rebrands to the shitty SaaS startup its name suggested it to be. I want to see the YouTube ads for "IrfanView, but paid and is a 500+MB chromium app"!

How about we don't duplicate George Orwells 1984 irl?

The compromise is you scrap every camera, or we do.

Compromise offer: you stop spying on us and we'll stop breaking your cameras.

Here's a compromise: how about you fuck off?

Little bitch is negotiating, and it's not even Halloween, yet.

The more you learn about Flock, the scarier it gets. They have FULL profiles built on EVERY american that has flock cameras nearby. All your shopping, driving, financial habits are tracked. They know who all your friends and family are and how often you visit, they track your vehicles specific identifiable features like bumper damage, stickers, faded paint, etc. All of that is a complete violation of the 4th amendment and all these companies need to be sued.

There is absolutely no reason to track people everywhere they go. We were fine before these things.

Compromise: kill yourself

And the zombies said "all we want to do is eat your brains, maybe we can compromise..."

That's how you know the reasons behind flock is nefarious, when they have to scale back what they're doing because of how blatantly obvious the overreach and invasion of privacy.

I can guarantee this has been said already, but the compromise is simple; no flock cameras (or comparable tech) anywhere.

Here is your compromise. Shutter your company & we won't hang you.

Take your cameras down and maybe people don't want to destroy them. Good compromise, eh?

What the US should prioritize is opportunity, education, corporate regulation, housing affordability, justice and dealing with corruption.

Gee, then they wouldn't need the surveillance state.

No, Garrett, we don't negotiate with surveillance states.

These concerns aren’t just hypothetical. The Washington Post recently identified 46 cases where police officers have been accused of using Flock technology for unauthorized purposes, including to stalk their wives, girlfriends, or exes.

After listening to an interview with one of the alleged victims, Langley told CBS News, “I apologize. It kills me that she went through that.” At the same time, he insisted, “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.”

Oh fuck off. You don't get to call yourself a hero for making a problem worse.

*We didn't invent police abuse! We actually shined a light on it and pointed it out"

Fuck right the hell off with this shit. You don't get to sell your panopticon to a group that routinely abuses every tool they have, and feign ignorance in defense of the results.

I do not want Flock cameras surveiling me or my car where it will inevitably become data that's combined with a million other data points on me that might be able to determine what I'm doing, what I'm thinking, and what I might do in the future, just to be able to say we're "safer".

Anyone who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserves neither.

Garrett can get fucked.

Tar and feathers are not expensive, and it's a hilarious thing to do to someone

No compromises with fascists.

There should be no compromising our right to privacy and these cameras need to go. Fuck Flock and their cash grab.

We had a compromise. It's called the bill of rights. Goes like this:

1. I'll say what I fucking want and associate with who I fucking please.
2. I'll fucking shoot you if you get in the way.
3. You stay rhe fuck out of my house.
4. Did you fucking hear me? STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE. AND LEAVE MY SHIT ALONE.
5. You're not the fucking boss of me. My crew will tell me when I'm out of line.
6. I'm fucking going home when I please, no matter what you say I did.
7. If you think I owe you, I don't unless my crew fucking says so.
8. Don't fuck with me about shit that doesn't deserve it.
9. Just because I didn't say it doesn't mean you shouldn't back the fuck off. Use your goddamn brain.
10. You don't get to make up shit and say you're in charge of it. My house. My rules.

Nah.

No compromise with our rights being infringed upon.

Destroy them all.

Eat shit, Garrett.

How about we compromise by saying remove them all, give back the money spent, delete all data and in exchange you don't get the treatments due one helping enable orwillian levels of suvelance

For his part, Langley has said that state regulators should “pass bills that make [the illegal use of Flock data] a criminal offense.”

No one trusts the police to genuinely enforce anything that could impact themselves.

The compromise is that he lives

Funny. I don't know why but my brain keep reading the title as: "Fuck CEO".

I call a guillotine a compromise.

I think the window of compromise has long since passed. Flock as a company went in with a guns blazing, anti-privacy, record everything, give the information to anyone style business style, and then chose to double and triple down on the style when the controversy/outcry first started. Once you've hit the stage where there's people starting to protest and riot and cities have started to go out of their way to ban the product and retract contracts due to the fact that they're concerned about public support. It's too late. That's a fire that's not being put out.
