Wasn't this basically Uber's model? They just ignored any local regulation they didn't like, even to the point of building a system to prevent government officials were trying to take Ubers so they couldn't get fined.

The difference is Uber provided a service the public wanted.

it's clear that 3 letter agencies wants flock online, bit weird to put blame on flock, when it's just a gun that's being handled by the federal gov.

		Flock has real human officers who direct it and shareholders who profit from it (those groups overlap), it is not an inert object wielded by the State. This doesn't reduce the responsibility of the state for misdeeds it does or attempts with Flock, but neither does the State’s role absolve Flock’s leadership and owners of the misdeeds they do and profit from, whether or not some or all are at the request of the State.

		It's a mass-surveillance dragnet, not a gun.
