Sensing He's in Deep Trouble, Flock Safety CEO Says It's All Been a Big Misunderstanding

futurism.com/future-society/flock-safety-ceo-big-misunderstandingThe company has partnered with 6,000 law enforcement agencies and 1,000 private customers, leading to terrifying false arrests and even crooked cops stalking innocent women.
How can we make people see that these problems were happening before anyone had heard of Flock? Flock is just amplifying the worst things about American policing.
Flock isn’t even the first system of surveillance cameras and ALPR cameras, they’re just the first with national-scale panopticon ambitions.
I’d even go a step further and say that only because of Flock’s good auditing, those cases were revealed. Which means at the same time, that in the past, police officers were doing the same, just hidden.
Kinda like a “don’t shoot the messenger” situation.
That shows that we don’t need more surveillance of the general population, just of cops and those that hold office.
Surveillance was never the issue. Crime rate is high because people have no education, no jobs with fair salary, no future. Especially if you have a health condition, chances are that your life will be better inside a prison because of the included healthcare.
Fucked up situation. And it will take decades of recovery.
