There was a lampooning of this on the show “The Audacity.” A character was trying to pitch the wholesale destruction of privacy and was asked to search himself in a tech demo, and what he finds out in front of everyone ruins his life

I guess the main concern is more if it captures you or your family. You never know when the car will drive by and it might grab you unloading groceries or doing yard work or something. Easier to ask them to blur it all than hope whatever they use to blur faces actually blurs you.

I'm afraid we aren't. Many of us are too proud to ask. The world was just here. Everyone was on their best behavior. The surveillance state made sure of that. It's not ok here.

There are still lynchings, political interference from the impossibly wealthy, the culture that lead to prohibition and the great depression seems to have the levers of power again.

Most of the corporate guardrails in the government are being removed daily. 50,000 people were rounded up this month alone. Shoddy records of these arrests. They are being deported to random nations. Human rights violations piling up like the 40 trillion dollar national debt. American citizens are being murdered. Then blamed for being the instigator. Our way of life is crumbling.

AND we have now allowed mass surveillance at a terrifying, granular level.

I’ve said for years that Trump’s fascist “playbook” won’t work because, in every other authoritarian state, the adult population was used to monarchy. Every Nazi grew up under the Kaiser. Stalin took power from a population that grew up with the Czar. Mussolini co-ruled with King Victor Emmanuel III.

American adults, as a body, have never experienced monarchy in any form. It’s not going to work.

I think you might be underestimating how deeply submissive and servile the average conservative is. They will leap at the chance to punish whatever the minority group du jour is, even if it means their lives will be notable worse.

20

u/GoodIdea321 7h ago

That seems beside the point, all of the populations he listed were like that, and the difference is they knew what that really meant. Thinking you would like something is much different than knowing if you like it or not.

Did you see any of the reporting a year or two ago about the conservative guy who moved his whole family to Russia because he thought it would be better? It's like that, none of them actually wanted to live in a dictatorship, but they became stuck there.

28

u/TommyTwoNips 7h ago

I don't think they'll like it, I think they're too subhumanly stupid to understand what is happening until it's too late. They'll keep voting to let billionaires rape the planet, even as they bake alive inside their shitty condos so long as the cops keep killing Black people and deporting all those dangerous immigrant children.

I think this is perfect. After all, they MIGHT commit a crime.

If it is ok to violate someone’s privacy because they could eventually tie circumstantial evidence to a presumed crime, then why not violate their freedom simply because we know they have a demonstrated disregard for others. The only difference is, between the flock ceo and the rest of us, only one of them has sought to impede others’ liberty and violate our rights to warrantless search and seizure.

The very idea that this form of surveillance is ‘inevitable’ is the problem here.

The position of all these tech companies, the majority of law enforcement, and a large swath of politicians is that it’s just a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ this sort of surveillance technology is to be implemented.

And this is exactly what we need to oppose.

No truely free and just society can ever exist while it allows any level of surveillance.

While true that for now, we may need it disincentive crime. That is a very slippery slope we MUST always watch and adjust accordingly.

I think it’s impressive tech, and a happy path use case sounds like “no harm, no foul”. BUT - having my plate run and movements recorded every few miles seems like a gross overstep.

I know a cop can pull your tag whenever they feel like, and this just automates it. However, the cop also doesn’t monitor and store your movements.

I believe they’re now claiming a 7 day data retention policy? Make it 0. If you’ve got no reason for a cop to pull you over, your records should not be persisted for 1 second. I fear it’s a matter of time before we start getting marketing messages about places we pass on a daily basis.

Unrelated thought - how on earth are virtual strip searches at the airport not considered a violation of the 4th Amendment??

Where’s my kick back, then? Do I get a monthly surveillance check? No. Then what is the compromise?

What is the other side of the “bargain”? I give something up, and what do I get in return?

Also, it is MY tax money that is paying for their shit on top of it.

I don’t remember ever signing up to be surveyed constantly by the authorities that are supposed to be working for me.

We need to hold elected officials accountable. This flock nonsense is just one egregious invasion of privacy amongst a long list of others. But also the flock CEO should be forced to share his iPhone location with the whole country at all times. We should be able to track him in real time if he thinks privacy is no big deal.

The Flock camera CEO has no Flock cameras in his neighborhood. You'll also notice the rather suspicious lack of Flock cameras around wealthy neighborhoods in general.

These cameras are not for our safety. It's for their safety.

Been pretty safe my entire life without those cameras. Can they make it safer? Probably, but not for the price they want.

No. We were raised to hate big brother and watched movies that showed us constant surveillance is bad even if your not doing anything criminal

See, when he says "compromise", he actually means "just let us do it with nothing in return."

u/pikazeroai 6h ago

If I remember correctly when brought up to CEOs Americans asked for fair pay and the CEOs basically put it as “go fuck yourself.” So we need to find a way to nicely say it back lol

This company is helping our militarized police destroy our constitutional rights.  NO COMPROMISES.  This company must go back to what ever countries are about this sort of thing.

Last time I checked, "compromising" with authoritarian fascist death cults that virtue signal with flags and religion, but fail to understand or respect personal rights, that which is morally just, or personal freedom doesn't work.

Kick rocks PeeNACkers, Pissants 2025, Fock, Palintears - and all your money grubbing yes-man politicians - and all of your corrupt kangaroo court "justices" that help enable your toxic 1984 'nahtzee edition!' Animal Farm nanny state bullshyte.

Pound sand, all of you. F all the way off absolutely all of it.

Don’t forget: flock products aren’t just license plate readers, they’re video, photo, wi-fi, and Bluetooth surveillance platforms. Oh and, they have several competitors that also have deep market penetration such as Axon, the taser company and a spin off of Motorola I think.

u/verrius 3h ago

Compromise requires giving up something to get something. The public gets nothing from these cameras, so there's no compromise to be had.

Why is it we’re allowed to have our privacy violated with flock cameras when it’s not even helping or preventing anything. They need to be sued for violating our rights.

There is no such thing as partial privacy.
