The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.
“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”
Compromise offer: you stop spying on us and we’ll stop breaking your cameras.
Here is your compromise. Shutter your company & we won’t hang you.
What the US should prioritize is opportunity, education, corporate regulation, housing affordability, justice and dealing with corruption.
Gee, then they wouldn’t need the surveillance state.
The more you learn about Flock, the scarier it gets. They have FULL profiles built on EVERY american that has flock cameras nearby. All your shopping, driving, financial habits are tracked. They know who all your friends and family are and how often you visit, they track your vehicles specific identifiable features like bumper damage, stickers, faded paint, etc. All of that is a complete violation of the 4th amendment and all these companies need to be sued.
I can guarantee this has been said already, but the compromise is simple; no flock cameras (or comparable tech) anywhere.
Corporate CEOs can all have 1 camera each, on their front lawn, for them to hang from.
There is absolutely no reason to track people everywhere they go. We were fine before these things.
Yup, violent crime has been dropping for decades and not an insignificant drop. We did not need mass surveillance, we did not want mass surveillance, nor do we want it now.
These concerns aren’t just hypothetical. The Washington Post recently identified 46 cases where police officers have been accused of using Flock technology for unauthorized purposes, including to stalk their wives, girlfriends, or exes.
After listening to an interview with one of the alleged victims, Langley told CBS News, “I apologize. It kills me that she went through that.” At the same time, he insisted, “I don’t think that Flock created police abuse. I think we’re the first company to ever shine a light on it and build the tools to find it.”
Oh fuck off. You don’t get to call yourself a hero for making a problem worse.
ok.
we’ll continue ripping down your shitty products and you can just shut the fuck up.
see, isn’t that a nice compromise?
Well, since you care less than zero about our safety, Langley, there will be no compromise.
Nah.
No compromise with our rights being infringed upon.
Destroy them all.
No compromises with fascists.
Corporate CEOs can all have 1 camera each, on their front lawn, for them to hang from.
Get rid of them.
And the zombies said “all we want to do is eat your brains, maybe we can compromise…”
“We’re not unreasonable; I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes”
That will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Great reference
We promise to access the brains from behind so your face still looks great!
to be fair, to Magastanians, the eyes are more valuable. That way they wouldn’t lose anything they’d miss.
I do not want Flock cameras surveiling me or my car where it will inevitably become data that’s combined with a million other data points on me that might be able to determine what I’m doing, what I’m thinking, and what I might do in the future, just to be able to say we’re “safer”.
It falls in the “no entry without warrant” argument for me. If you need to surviel me, show me a warrant.
I’ve been driving different routes as much as possible. One day this way, one day that way, once by bike, once by car, once on foot, sometimes making stops, sometimes going nonstop. Yeah, there’s still patterns, but I’m not beholden to them and at this point I know alternative routes as well as a London cab driver and I’ve found cool new parks, restaurants, etc.
Funny. I don’t know why but my brain keep reading the title as: “Fuck CEO”.
Your brain was reading it correctly.
