I live in a usually safe and crime free area in Florida, we had someone going car by car stealing from any car left open. My neighbor opened his door and told him he had him on camera, guy ran away. I had him on camera too but sadly no spotlight to catch a better look. I cant help but imagine that Flock deters people doing this sort of thing. I hate surveillance nanny states but criminals are getting bolder everyday it feels like.

I wish there was a way to implement this sort of “surveilance” in such a way that it only impacts criminals or would be criminals and only them.

I don’t think it’s so much as critical but has potential to help close the loop on crime. Big box stores love this service. The can easily identify the car type and license and out out a bolo with the police. Police put this into flock and track movement. You don’t have to pursue chases as aggressively. You can just track the car next time it pops up. I think flock is a net positive in this sense.

I'm curious as to why you think we have heavy crime when you know the stats say otherwise.

Car crashes are a leading cause of death. We can save a lot of lives by getting drivers to follow the law.
