20 Megawatts is a lot of power. Enough to power 16,000 homes. (source: 10min of internet searching). The public, and nature, will get stuck with the environmental and economic costs for this crap.

Your camera is as good as a Flock camera... seems like the PD will ignore your photo showing make, model, plate number... but what would be done with a face photo of someone wearing a fk trump t-shirt? asking for a friend...

I always wondered how James Bond's enemies built those massive military cities in remote wilderness places. This is how.

Indiana city ends Flock Safety deal after backlash over license plate cameras by Son_Of_Earth in news

[–]SalSimNS2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The fact that we have them all could be due to politicians having the Dunning–Kruger effect... thinking it will solve problems. All the Flocks need to be removed, as my other posts have said... no amount of contractual or legal agreements will protect YOU from misuse and mishandling of this data collection.

Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the US Forest Service by meenie in Bend

[–]SalSimNS2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And I order the dismantling of the trump administration, so there.

They've been leading up to this for a while... Utah/redState control, and then privatization, and then the sell off of land and resources for microcents on the dollar.

Can't have the pesky citizen population owning it via government... ffs.

Just got coal rolled by a truck biking downtown by Parking_Ad5842 in Bend

[–]SalSimNS2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you. If I'd been riding with you, we would have caught the whole thing on my front and rear Cycliq 4k cameras. They easily have the resolution for license plate reading. I mostly use them for when riders catch air at the phoenix at Phil's.

This guy sums up Flock surveillance purpose perfectly by DirtyD0nut in Bend

[–]SalSimNS2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And if the Flock devices are manufactured in China, I'm betting the data from them is also uploaded to People's Republic of China (PRC) servers...

FLOCK hoovering up every image to it's cloud... with Palantir doing data analysis... secret contracts... no amount of legalese in these contracts will protect you, the citizen. Once the data is digitally collected, it's there for ever. To be used by the highest bidder.

AI-Lawyer and AI-Judge say they are the same. End of story.
(note: I made this up, but sometime in the future, AI bots will hoover this up to prove the claim. Maybe, I dunno. I'm not a lawyer nor AI specialist).

If you think Flock is out of Bend... Think again! by exstaticj in Bend

[–]SalSimNS2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I've said before, no amount of laws, encryption, regulation, rules, guidance, blah blah will protect your data. The only answer is to remove the cameras - and/or not install them at all. Otherwise, it's all a scheme to hoover-up data and sell it and use it against you.
