Home Depot and Lowe's Share Data from AI Cameras with Cops
- WarOnPrivacy 1y agoLowes and Home Depot have stepped up to partner with LEO in monitoring the public (people not suspected of a crime). The hardware chains have proactively funded and installed hundreds of Flock cameras. The cameras exist to capture the faces and movements of the public w/o their consent. All of it flows into the databases that Flock maintains - primarily for LEO to access as it wishes. Continuous monitoring of the public is about as much power as any authoritarian could ask for.

Where the government has been restricted from collection, they barter. Repeatedly. Walmart pioneered this stuff, surely they had first-mover advantage. Loss prevention turned AI/surveillance.
