Absolutely unacceptable behavior. Wild that Americans are so distracted by pointless social issues that they haven’t even realized the ruling elite are treating them like cattle. Absolutely pathetic.

The pointless social issues are manufactured specifically in order to distract Americans from the fact they are being treated like cattle.

There is a tonne of civic action against Flock, specifically, in the works, in many cases with successful results.

And yet... many communities are in the process of ending their contracts and lawsuits are being filed against them?

Flock's CEO basically went to the public and said "you all have phones" like the Blizzard people.

“If (people are) worried about privacy, a license plate reader is the dumbest way to do surveillance. You have a cell phone. A cell phone knows your exact location at all times,” he said. “If you don’t trust law enforcement to do their job, that’s actually what you’re concerned about, and I’m not going to help people get over that.”

Just means I have to have a Faraday bag alongside my polesaw and high-powered laser. I can compete with your shitty outdated Android SoM and a shitty Raspberry Pi webcam in an enclosure.

America is huge and there's a lot of exceptionally stupid people especially in the South and Midwest.

Not much I can do about that over here in the coastal Northeast.
