You are moving the goal posts. No single Flock camera can do that, either. Instead, what they offer is a network of cameras they can access remotely and they can use with facial recognition. And yes, this can be used to track people over long distances or across states.

There are precedents with Ring being very cozy with police departments, e.g.

And many more over the years (all the way until February of this year, when they cancelled a deal with Flock). Amazon is not a company to trust.
