Funny. I don't know why but my brain keep reading the title as: "Fuck CEO".
It's wild, because when I was a kid, there was this huge conservative talking point about how trading freedom for security was bad.
Conservatives are all about freedom until there's profit involved.
We're already in the safest time for petty crime ever, and flock won't help with America's real issue of corporate crime. Safety will not be affected.
Nah.
No compromise with our rights being infringed upon.
Destroy them all.
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.
If you get rid of your right to privacy, you get rid of your right to safety.
Here's the compromise: Take down the cameras and people won't guillotine you.

Okay, here’s the compromise: you close everything down, and we don’t feed you to a hungry business of ferrets.
No! 😀
I think one of the problems that encompasses the flock debate besides the privacy issues is the relationship that the police have with people in the United States. Most police view people as a threat and if you look at the police training they teach them to be extremely violent. During simple traffic stops most police are on edge and have an attitude like they might be violent with you. I'm just talking about the general atmosphere- I'm not even getting into all of the examples where police have killed people for no reason, falsified information to arrest innocent people, and generally abused their power.
Did police want to wear body cams or did they want to continue without accountability? Police have a responsibility and have taken an oath. They should be required to have cameras.
In a society where all of its parts work together towards the same goal, ALPRs would not be a problem. In the US this surveillance is very worrisome.
Fuck these clowns. Their “compromise” is finding some way to quiet the bad press while continuing to do what they’ve been doing.
“We’ll stop putting our cameras where people don’t want them and just put then where our clients want them.”
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”
Our elected officials all think we should live in a big PRISON
Safety for who, exactly, Garrett? Because the common people aren't safer with this overreach
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
-Ben Franklin
In other words: Fuck you, Flock.
Okay, here's the compromise: disband your company and we'll put away the guillotines.
He says as he continues to launch surveillance drones without asking anybody if they're okay with that...
Safety? They constantly put innocent victims at risk by misidentifying them as the criminals!!!
Odd description of 'safety'
I'm amazed at how their concern for our safety allows them to do all sorts of heinous shit for ~~profit~~ our safety.
What compromise? Where's your warrant to search our lives, our comings and goings? Rich people don't have to deal with this harassment.
No quarter for flock cameras no compromise with surveillance tech ceos
Hey buddy, you didn't ask us about shit before you started installing your creepy cameras to monitor us everywhere, so you can go ahead and fuck off now.
I agree
And the compromise no cameras, more privacy
The compromise is we let you take your cameras down instead of drawing and quartering you.
