The next stage of this is going to be models of Flock cameras that look like other common security cameras, or a Flock module that plugs into existing security cameras and adds them to the network.

Aren’t flock camera more than just cameras as they scan for Bluetooth / wifi devices

Sure, but there’s no reason they couldn’t be built into an enclosure that looks like other security cameras.
Alternatively, you just build a little box that has that extra stuff and plugs into a normal security camera, and you bury the box in the ground or put it inside a locked utility cabinet or something.

The next stage of this is having cops patrol flock cameras.
The whole ‘mass surveillance’ thing sort of does away with a need for traditional patrols.

How long do you figure before they get the Flock AI declared a police officer, therefore any damage to an AI-enabled device counts as assaulting an officer?
