Residents of an Atlanta suburb have been rocked by the revelation that sales employees at Flock have been accessing sensitive cameras in the town to demonstrate the company’s surveillance technology to police departments around the country. The cameras accessed have included surveillance tech in a children’s gymnastics room, a playground, a school, a Jewish community center, and a pool.
“These are the kinds of things you can peak at if you buy a contract from us…”
Literally the only pitch that makes sense.
He knows his rich target audience
“Flock accessed”?! Why the fuck are they there in the first place?!
some camera companies sell their data to flock, who resells the data to cities and police
Those places were sold these cameras. I’m the contact flock monitors them. They should be mad at whoever approved their install.
Wtaf?
Pedos, the whole lot of them.
I’m just like constantly aghast at how prevalent it is…… disgusting.
Unfortunately America is controlled by pedophiles who are funded by pedophiles running corporations… who in turn happen to be protected by pedophiles in the government.
Obvi
A Flock camera near me was knocked over and the solar panel was all smashed up. It’s been like a month and hasn’t been touched yet. I wonder if they even care?
I heard Flock sets up cameras in places and then tries to strongarm local governments into signing up because it’s already there. Flaw is if the local government has even an iota of intelligence they tell them to fuck off and may even throw out a notice to the local PD to not bother with anything to do with the cameras, they may deal with a lawsuit if they destroy them but if randoms do no problem.
It’s legal to just put up a surveillance camera on property that belongs to someone else?
Fuck no it isn’t and is a flock camera showed up on my property I’d let them see it was me taking it down
I’d thank them for donating to my electronics collection before taking it down.
Then I’d repurpose the SIM card. Never turn down a free unlimited data plan.
Probably, but you can also claim just about anything left on public property for 48 hours as well, most of my experience was with cars but I sold a contractor’s dumpster one time since he left it on our street for months without a permit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost,_mislaid,_and_abandoned_property
No but they don’t care. Also they are more than big enough to throw a rather painful legal temper tantrum.
This one is on private shopping center property near a Home Depot.
I live relatively close to Dunwoody, maybe 50 miles north of there and this is the first I have heard of this. I am not surprised, though since Flock was a startup out of GA Tech and those cameras are just about everywhere in metro Atlanta.
You might want to check out these videos by Benn Jordan, an area activist who has been vocal about the security vulnerabilities and abuses related to community Flock cameras.
“Anyway” more like “Enthusiastically”
Our species is beyond saving and you cannot convince me otherwise
Don’t be an eco-fascist. Capitalism is to blame for all of this
Capitalism is to blame for pedophiles?
