A big irony in principle.
Because surveilling those doing the surveilling isn’t legal?
A surveillance company upset about being filmed in public. The jokes write themselves.
Who watches the Watchmen?
You have no expectation of privacy when you’re in public installing a surveillance camera
Little fuckers
So all you have to do to stop them during an installation is quietly and peacefully film them?
Good to know, good to know.
This is getting more expensive than anything going on before the cameras.
act like criminals be treated like criminals, class traitors.
We really need to compromise on privacy. Your CEO’s words, bro.
Won’t be long before having eyeballs is a crime.
I don’t care if he’s just trying to put food on the table. Fuck his fridge and his family.
How interesting how the cop is telling him how he should be careful who he records and puts on tv in public, while flock records your every move and cops in different cities across the nation uses those same cameras to stalk their ex-girlfriends and harass citizens with false allegation. Cops protecting the wealthy and property as they always do.
The headline is misleading. The installer called the police because he packed up his stuff and drove away when he saw that he was being filmed by the news, and the journalist started following him.
That said, if you don’t want your face on the news installing Flock cameras because being “outed” creates a “safety concern” or “embarrassment” for you and/or your family, maybe don’t install Flock cameras? Otherwise, own that you are a Flock installer and say it with your chest. I’m not afraid of being “exposed” as a burger flipper at Wendy’s. *shrug*
From the article, attributed to one cop:
“”I know, media, you know, the First Amendment and all of that,” she said. “But also, we should probably be a little more careful on who we put on TV and stuff like that.””
I’m having a hard time believing how offensive I find that statement to be. The combination of negating the First Amendment while acknowledging it. The willful and conscious disregard for rights.
Or, on second thought, I find that I agree with the officer: we should be careful to put Flock employees and piggies like this on TV as much as possible. And stuff like that.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Maybe just don’t work for such a horrible company then?
What kind of slow learners are the Flock employees?
We have reached the Irony Singularity.
When you watch the watcher, the watcher watches the watcher watcher. Or something.
“Flock worker”. Boy, that will go down in fucking history.
Fucking people.
😂😂 the irony that a dude on a public street installing spy cameras is mad he’s being recorded
Record ALL installations.
Maybe we can just overwhelm police stations with repeat calls complaining about being followed by flock cameras
All this shit and still waiting for the news to acknowledge this humongous red flag
If not Gestapo why do Gestapo things?
>“So just to be clear, he’s entitled to his privacy in a public place?” Keefe asked. “Isn’t that the whole argument that people are criticizing Flock for?”
Oh, the irony. So thick, that cop could have mistaken it for a donut.
