| Do you own stock in Flock or Axon? I don't believe you are actually asking this is good faith. Flock is a dragnet. It allows police to coordinate around apprehending suspects, which is the definition of dragnet, if you look at any dictionary. |

Well assume it, those are the rules. Apprehending suspects is most certainly not the definition of a dragnet. This is precisely my point. Apprehending people indiscriminately is the definition of a dragnet. Stopping a specific person for something that isnt a crime may not be legal but its not a dragnet. | | |

| ▲ | nonethewiser 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | 15.4% of families have private equity. Not unheard of but not what I would call quite common https://www.sec.gov/files/exploring-accredited-investors-jun... | | |
| ▲ | antiframe 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I searched that PDF for family/families and found nothing, but I did find that you are actually even more correct. Most of that report is about accredited investors. Less than 5% of non-accredited investors own private securities. So, it's actually quite rare. That said, to answer your question, you could own Flock stock. Private companies often offer stock to employees and others. |

| ▲ | wyre 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | You could be a private investor, an employee, etc. Just because a company is publicly traded doesn't mean you can't be financially invested with the success of a company. Read it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragnet_(policing) | | |
| ▲ | nonethewiser 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Could be, am not. Do you understand why flock is not a dragnet now? | | |
| ▲ | wyre 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | No, you have done absolutely nothing to help me understand your perspective. You have only disagreed. |
