Nothing wrong with instilling a little bit of healthy fear in the rich and powerful.
Good. Very good. I hope he feels true fear. I hope he gets what is deserved.
I hope he never has another moment of peace in his entire life until Flock is abolished. Even then…
Oh, no, he’s proven who he is at his core. He doesn’t deserve a second of peace for the rest of his life.
these people always look like out of touch assholes lol.
i doubt we have even one working class person left in a position of power.
even the last name langley is telling. i went to american public schools and you’d rarely if ever encounter anyone with a unique last name unless they were hella ethnic, even if that meant french canadian or italian.
the rise of the nepo baby last name.
‘If he’s done nothing wrong there’s nothing to hide’
He took the risk of pissing off the masses for profit. And it looks that he now faces the consequences.
"We announced changes that required auditing, that required using our audit assistance tool, which detects abnormal behavior, and we’re calling on state regulators to focus less on banning this type of technology and more [on] holding our law enforcement community accountable.”
This is absolutely passing the buck. “The collection of your data isn’t wrong, it’s just the myriad ways it can be abused. We want to play whack-a-mole for every problem; as unelected corporate policy that totally isn’t purely profit driven.”
Not-a-lawyer, but I’m quite sure I haven’t signed any TOS allowing Flock to capture or retain my data for any amount of time. Just by driving through a city where some other idiot signed away my rights probably shouldn’t hold up in court.
Legislation should be prioritizing punishing misuse of PII, expanding what PII means in our modern world, and enforcing information sharing barriers instead of eroding them.
If you can tell exactly where I was yesterday at 2:35pm because my car’s internal spyware pinged, my cellphone pinged, I drove past a few ALPR cameras and my credit card was used at a vendor, all without a warrant; then the related data is PII and needs to be protected in a way it isn’t currently.
Corporations should not have data-sharing agreements with governments and should not be allowed to sell their user data to third parties at all.

Also not a lawyer, but once a journalist, and one thing we were made aware of in college was that streets were public property, and anything done on them (or even done from the view of them - e.g., in your house but visible from the street*) was considered public. So unfortunately even if the city hadn’t signed it, if someone recorded you on the street doing it, they could keep it on their servers and/or publish it to the world without worry.
* - I meant to ask but never found out if this meant getting drunk in your house in view of the street is public drunkenness.
I work for a city that installed flock cameras. Their salesman insisted it was just license plate identification and nothing else when making the pitch to City Council.
The new city manager and I recently read through our “contract” with them. It’s a hyperlink to their TOS on their website. We have nothing in writing and they can change the terms any time they want.
I expect Council to have them removed soon.
“holding our law enforcement community accountable”.
lol can’t even bootlick properly. He probably thought this would earn him some points from the left but all it will achieve is major hate from right. Law enforcement may soon be looking the other way when someone reports a flock camera being taken down.
Hate to tell ya’ll but it’s highly unlikely the CEO of Flock lives in that house. It’s either misinformation or a honeypot. You don’t sell out your country and live in a house on a plot of land that small and without armed security.
It’s entirely possible. People rarely think bad things will happen to them.
If it’s in Texas or Florida, it’s probably just a phony residence, so he doesn’t have to pay state taxes.
It’s Atlanta, Georgia in a very modest burb on a very small plot of land. 100% not where he is living.
if it wasn’t his address we would have already heard that it wasn’t.
The fucking delicious irony.
Folks should show up at the edge of his property with lawn chairs and coolers and just “hang out”. Don’t speak to him of threaten him in anyway, just sit there and Document everything he does. When he complains tell him it’s for his safety and he should thank them.
You’d need to get the attention of MAGA on this if you wanted people to do stuff IRL
They’d drive a convoy around his block blasting Metallica for a week after coordinating with their friends in the police and bringing donuts to local tow companies. Maybe if you’re lucky someone on the left will flyer a coffee shop in Chicago.
And bring lots of cameras, filming the house from all angles
That would actually be hilarious im ngl to u
He should just point a flock camera at his house. Then he’ll be 80% safer based on a study I just made up like the ones on their sales pitch.
Even better, a group should cut down several dozen of them and mount them all on poles outside his house during the night, so that he wakes up to them in the morning. No vandalism, no violence, no threats, just a blunt statement that the media couldn’t possibly ignore.
Heck, no need to even risk collecting that many real ones. I hear there’s some fairly decent 3D printed fakes available.
a group should cut down several dozen of them
No vandalism
😐

The vandalism was putting them up in the first place.
Vandalism as a public service
Technically not theft. Technically not vandalism.
“Vandalism refers to the intentional destruction or defacement of property”
They relocated the item to its owners house. At best the cutting might be vandalism but you don’t have to cut them down. That just happens to be quicker.
It is 100% vandalism, in every sense. I support it, civil disobedience and all that, but there’s no rationalizing it as anything else.
Nice downvote.
You didn’t look up the legal definition of anything before you posted this nonsense. Have a good day.
Nonsense? You just posted a definition that describes this activity exactly…? So if anyone is posting nonsense, its you.
No. I did not. Relocation of the asset to the owners property means there’s no intent to deprive the owner of said property which means that it’s not theft.
The property has not been defaced, damaged, or destroyed so that means there’s no intent of vandalism. Therefore vandalism did not take place.
What you’re describing is criminal mischief, which I would agree this is.
I made a singular allowance in the case that the pole was cut (which counts as damage), rather than being dug up (which wouldn’t), which you appear to have ignored.
If you don’t like facts, that is a you problem.
You are welcome to kagi or whatever this yourself to see what I’m talking about instead of doubling down.
If you are incapable of that, don’t bother to respond to me.
When the law doesn’t follow the law, laws are irrelevant.
But what if we had a little violence and vandalism as a treat?
Then you provide the enemy with ammunition.
They claim that the purpose of the cameras is to prevent crime, and that the people who oppose them are violent extremists. They’ve even tried to label deflock.me as a terrorist organization.
Don’t provide the enemy with ammunition.
To be realistic, they don’t need ammunition. They just make it up anyways. It’s not about being civil and cordial anymore. Points have to be made.
“Not giving them ammunition” means getting ignored. We can’t afford to be ignored anymore. Shit is urgent. The Epstein class needs to be afraid or we wait until they build the technology and infrastructure that allows them to completely ignore our needs/demands forever.
Especially when the right is also mad about the tech. Strike while the iron is hot. Now is the time to act, not just have discussions. And I don’t mean violence, but let them know that card is on the table otherwise we the people will continue being ignored.
Always bothers me when people act like there is zero political violence. They are shooting us in the fucking street on film. Shits over.
Also your username is fuckin wild lol
You made me look at their username. I hate you.
That’s on you playa, curiosity killed the cat
I betcha if they set them up in his rich people neighborhood they wouldn‘t last for 2 days because someone with more money than him made a phone call.
He would be making that call. This rat roach fuck knows exactly what he is doing, do not give him an out.
I love this. They are solar powered so everything would work. All you need is a post hole digger to build a little flock forest.
Ooh, yes someone should do this not on any particular person’s property but as an avantgarde public art installation. Not with actual Flock cameras but just some replicas. Pop it up in a couple different cities around the world.
You are onto something. What if we just 3d print a bunch of fake cameras, wear a reflective vest, and install them in your nearby rich neighborhoods?
“Little brother is watching you!”
heads on spikes you say? i hope those models don’t look like billionaires…just kidding
Would be a shame if someone created a network of cameras tracking hia every move and posted it online for free in real time. Nothing illegal about that, right? No implicit threat in that, right?
Postcards have lower postage rates than regular letters.
Also harder to ignore a card that just says ‘fuck you’ on it in sharpie. For more fun: imitate the vibes of the local utility bill in a letter but fit a lot more fuck yous insideThere’s no way in hell this guy is handling those bills himself. If it isn’t on auto-pay, he has people who handle the housework I’m sure. If he doesn’t then fuck him even harder. He’s fucking all of us, and he’s not even making insane amounts of money from it.
Well that’s a lol and a half
You live by the sword, you die by the sword, dickhead.
You can’t earn so much money just to expect the responsibility won’t catch up with you. This one is a social responsibility for the impact caused.
If he wanted a low profile, no risk job, he could always opt to not become an executive in the first place.
