Background: from this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9MwZkHiMQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9MwZkHiMQ)
Floxk AI is a startup that apparently runs highly suspicious police data collection services. As a fun bonus, it sells this data to private bidders and retains no liability for any mess-ups.
Apparently, it uses a Bluetooth system to relay some of this information. And seems to generally have awful security...
Any thoughts? Or further projects on this?

- Rhea_Karty 1y agoA lot of news... not too much technical. The real scandal seems to be the use of data brokers' data, re-selling/owning the data collected from publicly funded cameras, and also using bluetooth and ostensibly other outdated security.
- toomuchtodo 1y agoThe scandals you mention have been reported on in depth by 404media, which has led to state and congressional investigation. A Google search will provide technical details about their cameras and the Android/hardware stack that operates them.
