Wait for actual evidence of a crime (or even an anonymous tip) instead of going on a fishing expedition targeting anyone with an unusual lifestyle or weird spending habits?
I’m sure we could just put always-on cameras in every house to catch criminals too, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

I use this type of point all the time, and every time to blank stares. Me> The Flock surveillance network is bad - it is an invasion of privacy and gives way too much power to people that should not have that power. It _can_ be used to solve crimes, and does. But so could not allowing anyone out of their house without a permit. But that, too, would be stupid and harm society Them> _blank stare_ But.. it saved a child once.
- pocksuppet 1mo agoThere is no evidence that Flock has ever saved a child once.
