They shouldn't even have license plates?? That leads to 0 accountibility. Would you like the government driving around in government vehicles doing hit and runs and having zero accountability? Or criminals for that matter?

License plate readers are hardly mass surveillance. Why is no one in democratic countries complaining about mass surveillance? And I mean real cameras (not license plate readers) recording 24/7? I'm talking about UK, South Korea,

If you think USA has mass surveillance you haven't been to Asia (South Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Etc). I can drive down highways in most cities in the USA without my license plate being read (Flock isn't on highways). Also

I am in favor of them. There is no expectation of privacy in the public setting. I can record anyone on a public street w/o their permission. If these license plate cameras are making the streets safer and helping to reduce crime, why

I tried this prompt when it was trending on Chinese social media last week. At the time ChatGPT said walk, Gemini said drive. Now both say drive. (using the default selected free model for each)

When did I say death penalty means no murders? I didn't. Does a strict rule of law and enforcement of said law lead to no murders? No. Does it reduce the amount of murders that occur? Yes (see Singapore).

Banning guns does nothing without removal of guns or enforcement of laws. Assault weapons are "banned" in California, has it stopped anyone from getting their hands on them? Extended magazines are "banned" in California,

Everything I want to do in public I can still do. What "freedom" is lost? I gain security and lose no freedoms (unless you are doing something illegal). When property crime is up 53%.. plenty of people are willing to lose "fr

Lets take the current example of the famous kidnapping of the TV anchor's mother in AZ for example. If Arizona was blanketed in CCTVs, do you think this kidnapping would have happened? And if it still did happen, I'm 100% sure the

People tend to behave if they know they are being watched. Yeah it's not going to stop crime 100%, but I bet you it will (and it has) help reduce crime by double digit percentages. Look at places where there are CCTV cameras all over,

There is no expectation of privacy in the public setting though. Anyone can record you in public without your permission. > No amount of surveillance will 100% prevent any individual from being a victim of a crime. No, but if it reduces

That's an example of a low-trust society.

Yup, and the U.S. is a low-trust society as a whole.

But Flock doesn't ask for this nor does it gather this information. I know what you are trying to do. You are trying to say this is just the first step to a full invasion of privacy. Except it's not. They are trying to make Americ

Doubt it. Any sources for that? I am in favor of the flock cameras. Most people tend to behave if they know they are being watched. They have helped reduce crime in the cities they've been deployed in.

I think in less than a year writing code manually will be akin to doing arithmetic problems by hand. Sure you can still code manually, but it's going to be a lot faster to use an LLM (calculator).
