    Since this post is gaining some steam, I’ll drop a few links here for anyone who isn’t familiar with the Flock controversies.

    Flock cameras show signals of being used for widespread surveillance by private organizations with really no accountability or restrictions on how/who they’re surveilling. Because of that, various legal challenges, civil rights objections, and other pushback is occurring around the US to fight back against the privacy violations and attempting to establish accountability for those operating these systems.

      At this point it is a bit more than signals. It is very blatant.

      Why would “license plate” cameras be pointed at childrens’ playgrounds https://san.com/cc/flock-camera-captured-kids-on-a-playground-a-security-failure-exposed-them-online/

      The map jumping 30 miles away when zooming in makes the site difficult to use for my area.
