Would you mind if I parked near your house, such that every morning, when you drove past, I could follow you. To work, to the store, to the gym, you know, wherever.
Then on the way home I'll park where I left off. If anyone asks me I'll them everything I know about you. It's "public" information after all.
- otterley 6mo agoShould I be concerned that you're stalking me, or that you know this information? The former is illegal, the latter is not.
- themafia 6mo agoFlock can alert when any specific car drives by. No warrant is required to use this feature. So, I won't follow you, but when you _do_ leave, I'm going to call some people to let them know that happened. Still cool?

- lucaspm98 6mo agoHaving this surveillance done by human beings rate limits the process to, in theory, focus it on actual criminals. Requiring warrants for the more invasive and persistent techniques adds another layer of accountability.
- otterley 6mo agoYou're bootstrapping your argument with an assumption that there's something to account for. Public activities are public. You're shifting the accountability from the actor to the observer.
