The Fayetteville Police Department terminated three officers after a new audit feature revealed they used Flock safety cameras for unauthorized personal searches.
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!”
