Was great to have the founder of @flock safety on the program He was candid about their previous communications and “default settings” mistakes. I especially appreciate him coming on after I was publicly very critical of them The company has made a lot of radical changes to their offering and there have been a lot of miscommunications about what flock cameras actually do. Most people think they're doing facial recognition, when in fact they're doing license plate reading and descriptions of cars ONLY. Many people think they're keeping these records indefinitely, when the truth is they've now set it to under 30 days. These defaults and the audit trails they create to “police the police” should help some people get more comfortable with the technology. That being said, you don't have to be comfortable with the technology. Your community can vote to kick it out and dozens of communities have recently. Ultimately, it’s up to each community to decide how much privacy they’re willing to give up in the name of safety. Americans love to live in private communities, with hundreds of cameras, gates and security guards, for example. In fact rich people will pay a 25-50% premium to live in a gated community to get exactly the kind of services that Flock provides! However, many individuals don't trust the police with these kinds of tools. I have many concerns as well. I know these systems are consistently abused and once you give this power to the police, it's hard to take it away This is an important debate. Most of the time I find people with kids are willing to sacrifice their privacy and people without children, or who have a mistrust of the government, are least likely to support these types of technologies.
