Flock was the company who promised to proactively report suspicious patterns to the police.

The future of "computer said you did something wrong, explain yourself" is pretty dark.

> He announced Monday that an audit found Customs and Border Protection had accessed Illinois data, although he didn’t say that the agency was seeking immigration-related information.

Honestly, at this point, it's even odds that it's one guy trying to stalk one of his exes.

But wouldn’t he be looking at Texas data then? I’ll see myself out.

I guess the scrutiny of being in bed with the fedcops must have been damaging their ability to make money hand over fist in blue states selling cameras to school districts, municipal offices and Karen infested gated communities. I assume some states are also scrutinizing the contracts more since no politician wants to be the guy who enabled the feds to do something the voters in their district really hate.

Why else would they be pulling back?

Maybe just holding themsleves accountable when no one else will? We're barreling towards a dark age and its driven by unchecked individualism and acting in blind service to money, rather than acting with money in service to you.

I hold hope that this is just an expression of humanity in a world where this seems to have become somewhat unfashionable.

Because there’s a law against it in Illinois.

The kind of people who can do that don't wind up working for organizations like Flock.
