Edward Snowden. Everything after that is a no-brainer. Hell, everything after Room 641A is a no-brainer.

A Sedgwick, Kansas, police chief used Flock Safety license plate readers to track his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend’s vehicles 228 times over four-plus months and used his police vehicle to follow them out of town, according to a city official and a report released this week by the agency that oversees police certifications.

Before posting that you couldn't Google the Milwaukee cop who got busted for abusing Flock camera access? From just a week ago? If you want an absolute torrent of abuse search for cops running the IDs of their exes. That's why it's dead certain that Flock cameras will be routinely abused.

  So then we need better access controls, and apparently the people who abuse it to stalk exes and such are already being prosecuted. Doesn’t seem like the technology itself is the core issue here to me.

    The only way you could have moved this goal post faster is if you had edited your original comment.

    Police in the US very rarely face accountability for misconduct.

    If a technology, backdoor or capability exists, it's not a question of if it will be abused, but rather when, how, and by whom. Stop being obtuse.

      Technophobic take tbh

        No, this is an entirely pragmatic take. Show me where it's not been proven correct. It's in fact an argument in favor of strong encryption, privacy by design, and security by default.

    So you think you can solve police accountability and keep the cameras? I admire that level of ambition. Have you got the Nobel prize nominations lined up already?
