People cite Flock as an example of this. Yet the same people walk around with iPhones and Android devices that can record conversations (who talks to whom at what times and for how long), know our exact locations and log everything we do online.

If I had told you 30 years ago that we are going to build a surveillance network and make the people we are tracking pay for it all you would have laughed me out of the room. But that is what we have built. The modern Smart Phone.

Now we use our iPhones to complain about cameras on public roads as if they are watching us.

Smart phones are opt-in technology. Flock is not.

Very flawed argument, anyone can go for a walk without their phone on them and have a conversation, nobody would ask them why they don't have their phone on them.

I know it is not a popular opinion. But it is my opinion.

Do you seriously think that governments need Flock cameras when they have Apple, Microsoft and Google?

		Ostensibly they need a warrant to get that data from Apple/Google whereas they have a direct line to Flock data cause that's how that relationship works

		The government needs a warrant to access Apple/Google/Microsoft's data.

		Governments don't need flock or AMG, that's where the flaw in your argument begins.
