alt Hacker NewsWell, that's the thing. Many crimes weren't solved, for precisely the problem that Flock solves. I never thought I'd rally in support of mass surveillance, but when criminals can brazenly flee a scene and not be pulled over because pulling over a suspicious vehicle is now considered "profiling". I find myself supporting an idea I used to be against.

You know full well that stopping a know car fleeing the robber and profiling are two massively different actions. They are not the same thing at all.
Also, it would be nice if people stopped fantasying about crime and basing their arguments on cool movies scenes.
