Hm very strange the title did have to do with Flock Safety when it was first posted and now is referencing Claude not sure of user error or something to do with hacker news. I’ll put a tin foil hat on for just a second, Flock Safety is a graduate of Y Combinator so maybe the misnaming is not as innocent as it may seem?
My 2 cents: I live in the Atlanta metro and it’s crazy just how much Flock has permeated communities. From main streets to small neighborhoods flock safety cameras are in use everywhere, it is off putting. I’m not sure if HOAs are the ones OKing them or if it’s the city but having a private corporation able to run cameras that read plates and can potentially surveil home consistently seems like undue erosion of privacy
- kotaKat 2y agoAh yes, I went Flock-spotting through the Atlanta suburbs. HOAs are encouraged to buy them. As long as you've got the $2500-per-camera-per-year ($208/mo) for their all-inclusive package, you too can adopt your own little invasion of privacy by the roadside. Which also means... I know I'd really be pissed if I was stuck helping foot the bill for an entire gander of them when the HOA dues come in...
- dang 2y agoIt was a misclick.
