Flock is putting huge PR spin on this. They will not disable features that are illegal for your agency to use in your state. They will give you training on it.

And they identify lots more than just license plates. What license plates were visible inside the YMCA children's gym? Or at public pools on the pooldeck?

Garrett has also said that he sees false positives as a better outcome than false negatives, because the latter doesn't advance Flock's mission towards "a world with no crime, thanks to Flock" (with unironic apologies to Minority Report).

Private corporations shouldn't set or interpret the law. They can sell technology but that's up to the jurisdiction to set policies. What a dystopian vision you have where corporate ceos start telling police what's legal and illegal

If there is precedent set saying selling $ITEM is illegal in a given jurisdiction , should a company be selling it?

Is it dystopian if a company doesn’t sell fentanyl to a police precinct because it’s up to the police to decide and the company should just give them whatever they ask for?

edit: lol at your response that’s flagged before I could reply. No consistency in morals, just sweeping for destruction of the rule of law.

In a paraphrase of your own words, it’s just some criticism bro.
