yeah annoying as ever

Tired of complaining about it, but the thumb looks like ai

That's a remarkably well-written article.

I love that they contrast the guy getting arrested for putting up a sign, which is not illegal (did not even block the camera), and the passive acceptance of law-breaking by police using ALPR cameras.

Awesome. I honestly didn't know Mapquest was still a thing though.

They are almost certainly pulling data from open street map. If you want to add cameras go to deflock.org/report for details on how to do so.

They don't have the ones in my area. Where do I go to inform them of this so they add them to their next update?

I love that they called it the surveillance layer, allowing it to be used for any other surveillance data that is mappable, not just Flock.

Nissan Maxima to your right.

They already have racial bias for that, no? Flock will train on that exact data and race = sus will be baked in the algorithm.

you got to cut the current

a software switch is not a switch

duh marketzzz i love me sun contradiction but yet you koe don't take du bait nom nom

How long until these systems automatically ping law enforcement that a vehicle with statistically suspicious behavior is approaching...

I don't think the constitution or courts are going to effectively protect people from these systems. Minority Report should have been a distant future to be avoided.

I'd certainly be down to sign onto a class action. Hell, it should be a whole working class effort, ftm.

true. the vehicle and lader and such would likely be obivous. the contract though might give them the right to maintain the cameras.

It's certainly not ideal, but this isn't someone sitting on a bench or walking through or even wasting time in the student union.

campuses are pretty open spaces. I hope they don't go the way of highschools.

They didn't leave it somewhere. They left it in my front yard.

My town cut power to them and flock went in and reconnected it because they hadn't been explicitly told to fuck off.

They know they're enough of a target that people are destroying them all the time.

But that was on town property. I would think the college should be able to have flock employees trespassed if it was a constant thing.

It's flock. Just tell them to go fuck themselves and to sue you. Then when you're required to pay, do what Alex Jones did.

Then sue them.

Fuck it, put a bounty on what flock does. Start setting precedence.

Maybe tell the students about where they are and how if they're destroyed the college won't go after then because they are not college property. Then they can take care of them this Halloween.

Fair point, though disobeying unjust laws is a civic duty —especially when corps are flat-out ignoring other, more fundamental laws leading to such ☝🏼 I suppose it's up to each individual what amounts to worthy expressions of their right to privacy and how far they're willing to go to defend it. ✊🏼

Radiating with intent to destroy is very very illegal. Radiating without a license is also very illegal.

Only as illegal as unowned cameras, especially in residential areas, AFAIK. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Besides, I presume it's up to the wielder/maker to align said gadget's scope to affect only the target location, not beyond. 🧏🏼‍♂️
