A simple error got magnified by Flock’s nationwide surveillance camera network and ended with four cop cars boxing me in.

    I do think eventually litigation is going to limit this Flock nonsense, but it’ll be after a spectacularly violent event. Some stalker’s going to kill a whole family and that’ll do it.

      I can’t lead an effort to push the local govn’t to do something like this. I just don’t have the charisma, but I would definitely join the cause. I was a part of a club once to overturn a law in a nearby city. It was interesting to see how it all worked.

        Even if not, familiarize yourself with DeFlock. At the very least, hopefully, there’s a way you can route yourself when you’re getting around that’ll deprive them of data.

          They’re expanding their footprint around me. The city and adjacent city both have contracts and several retailers have them at all entrances. I tried to see if I could add the locations to deflock via street complete but then realized that I can’t log the sites when (safely) driving.
