Big Brother is watching, thanks to Flock cameras
Imagine being tracked when you make a turn to go to a doctor’s office in Laurys Station or when you go to church in Lehighton. This is happening right now. You can find Flock cameras at different locations taking pictures of your license plate as you drive by, keeping your information in a central database for their customers to see without a warrant, maybe more since some credentials were breached, per TechCrunch. No plate? No problem! These cameras will take note of any bumper stickers or dents on your car. You don’t drive? Flock’s gunshot detection microphones can now reportedly detect human voices.
Flock cites a study that claims 10% of crimes were solved with its cameras. They don’t tell you that study was done by two employees, per 404Media. I value my privacy and my Fourth Amendment rights more than what two employees say. I just ask that anyone who has a problem with these cameras check out the privacy violations before you become the next person to be falsely accused of a crime, like a woman last month in Denver who was told that she can’t take a breath of fresh air without the sheriff knowing.
