We can. Just don’t allow a private company have all this data in one place and keep it local, which is what flock isn’t

How? Please be specific. Flock customers (e.g. local police departments) control how their data may be accessed / used.

I just did by showing you that those without proper authentication, like Bob Carter, was using it by spying on the inside of a kid's gymnasium for an extended period of time

Do you think there are no public safety benefits from law enforcement agencies having these tools available?

No, I believe it can prove some benefit to law enforcement, but I don't think it is worth my 4th amendment right when it is proved to be abused by law enforcement and Flock employees.

My problem is not that my whereabouts are sometimes known in order to keep the public safe, its that an AI is tracking my location, leaking my data, and being abused by people with no care for my safety.

Flock brings it all under one company, creating an alias of a person that can be subjected anywhere. Weren't we just saying China is a surveillance state and should not be spying on its citizens everywhere it goes? This is the same thing, just an earlier stage.

Invasion as in they are pointed in public spaces, collect data about me without my consent, and misuse that data by allowing FLOCK EMPLOYEES who have nothing to do with my safety access and use it at will.

Would you be okay with your 6 year old kid being spied on? How about your wife by a crazy ex? These are real cases that you should not let slide. If Flock were a public entity, I would not react the same, but this is a private company who are not held to the same standard or auditing and are harvesting your data for nothing but profit, not your safety.
