I’ve seen this headline, or one like it, a half-dozen times now, and it keeps feeling like propaganda because the emphasis is on the “police officers fired” part when it should be on the “using controversial mass surveillance cameras to spy” part. It’s as if the message is “no really folks, Flock is OK because the people abusing it are being held accountable, pinky promise!”
I don’t like it at all.
WTAF is with this?
A camera, looks just like a cheap one you would find in a phone.
Article is about flock cameras
Wtf is that photo? Article is talking about Flock cameras, show picture of those
its the camera from inside a phone. Its being held by the part that plugs into the mobo
In this case, OP is the author and probably chose the photo so maybe they’ll change it.
So OP is using Lemmy to post low-effort links to their personal news blog to drive traffic to their site?
That’s a block outta me.
“The department will not speculate regarding the intent behind those searches,” the police department said in an official statement. “However, searches of this nature are subject to strict scrutiny and were determined to have been conducted without a legitimate law-enforcement purpose, thereby constituting a violation of department policy.”
Imagine what the motivation behind these searches were in order to get fired. Police in the U.S. can shoot people in the face unprovoked and get administrative leave with pay. Possibly promoted depending on skin color. Happy to see police violating policy getting consequences nonetheless.
How do you, and why would you, spy on yourself?
Whistleblower might?
Not saying that was the reason, but it is ‘a’ reason.
Family members might be borrowing their personal car while they’re at work.
