I was wondering the other day, while reading about a woman thrown in jail based on a false report form Flock... How can Flock be fully insulated from the consequences of making thousands of false reports to the police? People can go to prison for less.

The same way my neighbors are insulated from consequences when they make an outright false complaint: they claim that they believed the information was true.

Exaggeration does not improve dialogue.

People go to prison for providing incorrect data without malicious intent? Are you sure? Anyway, working under contract with the police is not the same as calling in a report. Even if you wish it were.

Bad shit has always been tolerated when done in furtherance of the state's goals.
