The land of freedom. What the hell have happened with ur country guys. 35 years ago USA here in Poland USA was kinda dream place/magic place/ land of big chance if U will work hard. Todayday im not willing go to USA as a tourist.
Flock started out as a license plate reader. Flock continues to have serious issues even reading license plates. This seems like several issues waiting to happen…
Shocking that the slippery slope of ALPR cameras was slippery.
This is why I’m against even speed cameras. It’s all just to slow boil the frog with feature creep as we become more and more of a surveillance state.
I’m glad Flock turned up the heat too quick and people noticed, but I don’t have faith in people staying alert for all the other ways 24/7 surveillance is coming.
How am I going to throw garbage in a dumpster that’s not mine anymore? Damnit!
I take this to mean they have already added it, and are advertising a new subscription tier.
Sounds like at least 2lbs of internal gold would be required on top of the 2lbs of copper. Spread the word.
I mean yeah, the main selling point for them is being able to effectively stalk your exes
Without that functionality they’re just for work, which means less stolen overtime doing paperwork
I can’t wait for Marc Andreson to get on Joe Rogan and say something like „SNIFFFF, the problem people have with Flock is purely political SNIFFF. It’s really about SNIFF keeping people safe. SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF“
I worked at a biometrics company that did facial recognition in the late 1990s and early 2000s. At the time, our main focus was in protecting peoples’ privacy by strengthening device log-ins with a multi-factor single sign-in. For example, ensuring the right logged-in person was viewing or changing a health record per HIPAA, which was new at the time.
After 9/11 we had a sudden upsurge in requests for using face recognition to identify people in public. One police department in Florida wanted to do a trial of open camera surveillance of public areas, even though a) we pointed out that the false positive ID rate would be very high, so they be chasing 100 people for maybe one actual match, and b) we weren’t interested in using biometrics for that. It’s exceedingly dangerous to privacy, open to abuse and still inaccurate.
Where it’s accurate is if you know that one face “should be” one of a limited number of faces — that’s pretty easy, e.g. logging into your phone, or even matching people who should be coming onto or off a plane with their biometric ID taken at boarding. But in a public place to be able to match a large number of faces walking around with an unknown person in a multi-thousand or million person database? Not easy. And not desirable, in a free society.
We don’t do Facial recognition.

There goes the privacy reassurance lol.
I don’t think that’s gonna work out too well. People have already spent time in jail for being wrongly identified by AI.
This is a direct path to slavery and tyranny, no question.
Not saying I agree with it, but I thought they already had facial recognition. On second thought, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do.
Thats like your wife wanting an open relationship after she already started cheating on you.
I thought they already had plans to offer this and that there was even code present in the software that was downloaded and published recently…
As in they have already developed this as far as I know.
We should also tell cops that Flock Cameras could make a great substitute for when the body cams are off, forgotten, or the union/force decides they don’t want to release the footage.
I wonder how excited they’ll be about Flock Cameras then.
If you want some resources about how to oppose this technology there’s a good group called the plate privacy project that’s working to oppose flock and related tech across the country. Let’s work together

Facial recognition is accurate
~97+% of the time. Sounds great until you realize that at just O’Hare airport they have over 260k people a day through the airport. That’s 7800 people mis-identified per day.
Plate readers were already a stretch, but adding faces is a different thing entirely, because a car doesn’t follow you into a grocery store and a face does
Sure, why not? While they’re at it they should add an AI-controlled machine gun turret. Why not? If you don’t like it you must support crime.
