- ssl-3 7mo agoCan you elaborate upon the kinds of crime reduction that these systems provide?

- cm2012 7mo agoIsn't it obvious? > License plate is reported to police associated with a crime. > Cop looks up plate number > Flock Camera shows general status and location of that license plate. > Cops find the car involved with the crime, preventing further criminality.
- rationalist 7mo agoWe're policing future crime now? I think they made a movie about that.
- ux266478 7mo agoSo they're useless for crimes not involving a reported license plate? Sounds like a pretty worthless marginal gain. The Chinese have done it better since their mass surveillance apparatus isn't contingent on reported license plates, or even the involvement of a vehicle. Start a fight on the street and they'll find you. Is America really this incompetent that they can't match a 10+ year old system?
- baggy_trough 7mo agoNo, that's just one of the things you can search on.
- ssl-3 7mo agoSo what you're saying is that I can report your[1] car as being associated with a crime, and the police will show up wherever you and/or your car is and treat you like a criminal? I love this for you! [1] the literal you, as well as the figurative
- baggy_trough 7mo agoNo, the comment is not saying that. You appear to have invented it.
- ssl-3 7mo agoIf you think there's something wrong with my interpretation, then please explain what that is to me. I'm not seeing a problem with it. (I may, in fact, be an idiot. Help me out here.)
- baggy_trough 7mo agoSure, you made up a bunch of things the comment doesn't say, and then said "so you're saying?". No, they are not saying.
- ssl-3 7mo agoYou're just as [un]qualified to interpret the intent of the comment that I replied to as I am myself, comrade. Neither of us wrote it.

- jotux 7mo agoMaybe you could reach out to Flock directly and ask them to install cameras in your kitchen and bedroom too (for crime reduction reasons).
- danny_codes 7mo agoEnforcement is one way to reduce crime. Another way is to reduce poverty. Which will we choose? One road leads to South Africa. The other, Denmark.
- array_key_first 7mo agoThese cameras aren't even enforcement, just surveillance. I think we all know even with the best technology in the world the police aren't gonna get off their lazy asses if your car gets stolen. This is just a way to burn money.
