I accidentally took $1.5B from the treasury. Ooops! Forgive me, pwease?!?!?
FOIA those city councils folks! Let’s root out who sold our liberty out from under us
“accidentally”
Oopsie-Dronesie!
“Accidentally”
“Accidentally”
Yeah okay.
Accidentally on purpose more like. Smdh
“Accidentally.” CBP and ICE have been using Flock cameras for at least the past year. And it’s not limited to Flock, they are using cameras from similar companies such as Ring and Flock’s competitors, as well as their own, hidden, cameras.

If they did something they shouldn’t have then they should be punished. Bring back consequences please.
Funny way of saying “working as intended”
“Accidentally”
Accident my ass.
This is why Flock cannot be trusted. Accident my ass.
“accidentally”
Flock engineers then proceeded to promise no more whoopsie-daisy’s.
Now can we please remove the Orwellian spy cameras in our neighborhoods?
Mayor Bibb should be ashamed.
They should pay everyone in that city.
Our city learned after they did it that Flock’s TOS and agreed to terms can be changed at any time with no notice, which they did. So the drone thing would be totally legit then 😮💨 Thankfully we’ve cancelled it and are speaking out to neighboring communities now.
“Accidentally”.
Then we accidentally mounted sniper rifles on our drones. Only for testing purposes.
“Accidentally.” Sure.
> But Councilman Tanmay Shah, a vocal critic of Flock, pointed out that the apparent glitch raises questions about the city’s oversight, noting that the searches went unnoticed for months despite the city’s promises that the system was being carefully monitored and audited.
So not only is Flock illegally sucking up data and violating city ordinances but the city leaders themselves couldn’t be bothered to audit the logs for months despite repeatedly telling people this wouldn’t happen? Our tax dollars at work. Paying for the opportunity to be surveilled 24/7…
If these things can be “accidentally” connected to they need to be taken down and someone needs to be fired.
Accidentally? Huh, I’m sure…
if that’s a thing that can be accidentally done than the whole thing should be shut down.
