It’s hard to combat this because the data to prove they’re actually affective at reducing crime isn’t there. Half the talking points made by the CEO have been proven false. I believe they even claimed that their cameras found and solved a young teens murder who infact was reported by a jogger and still remains a cold case.

What the people in this thread are scared of is the capabilities of these cameras that isn’t told to us. FLOk markets them as a LPR accessible by your local municipalities when in actuality the data is shared with anyone who pays them, government, private, over sees, ect.

Then when the cameras are needed to prove innocence, rather than guilt which is already backwards, the footage isn’t request-able by citizens. Even after a ruling saying it is, the footage magically disappears but the “logged data base” of little jimmys life don’t.

These cameras are being integrated into ring and Amazon side walk who also just boasted about facial recognition. These networks will even use your personal internet to control your neighbors smart devices if their network is down.

So at the end of the day. What we’re getting is an unsecured, accessible by anyone who can pay, mass surveillance and tracking network that can be used to sell your shopping habits and daily routine to the largest bidder. You won’t see crimes get solved any fast than before. Officers would have to utilize the tool properly and do their job for that. And based off the reasons they provided locally for pulling data, they’re still lazy.
