    Except these cameras are likely excluded from areas that lawmakers exist in. It would be dystopian to expect elected officials to live under surveillance Of their every move! /s

      I live a couple blocks from my state governor and there are plenty of Flock cams here. I’m sure the private gated suburbs might not have them inside, but they will be on the roads connecting between them, so FOIA is actually a great idea.

        Actually, many HOAs have been installing Flock cameras because that shit is right up the alley of something an HOA president would want.

        Surely they have their own cameras on the inside, Ring doorbell cams etc.

        The article mentioned that citizens can opt their privately-owned cameras into the system. Now I’m curious - in places with that kind of system what is the rate of opt-ins among those with power vs. the general population.

      Where I live there is a bridge that is the only way out of the city on the North and East. I can guarantee elected officials are using it too

      It has a Flock camera on either side. Also the main road along the river has 3 cameras covering a 360 degree view

      The cameras here are set to maximize the number of people tracked
