I see a few people have pointed out to you that the Flock cameras in question are not doorbell cameras. To bring you up to speed, Flock cameras are typically mounted on poles throughout cities and towns, in partnership with local government and law enforcement. There's a whole Silicon Valley techbro business model behind this, in which Flock charges the municipalities for access to the data and AI analyses, which tell them nonsensical things such as how this woman in her $70k Rivian is driving around the neighborhood as a porch pirate. Perhaps now, you might have a bit more understanding of why the fact this was a Flock camera is relevant here.

Are you aware that in cities like L.A., vast areas are constantly being video recorded by helicopters flying overhead? Or that drones with video cameras might be used for that purpose in the future, in other cities? Is your issue really with Flock cameras on light or utility poles -- or might there be drones (and other higher flying objects) that perform this same function, either now or in the future? ? Also -- since you bring up AI analyses -- then whose fault for the alleged issue is it, really? Was it the company's fault? Or was it the AI's fault? Or was it the Officer's fault -- for not performing prior due dilligence, and rushing to act on flaky data? Who shall we blame, and why, specifically?
