I find the funniest part about this case is that flock has detailed logs on everything he did. Who could have guessed that the company dedicated to spying on everyone without a warrant would also be spying on the cops using the service? You wanna take bets on whether or not his usage was used to train an AI?

    And yet they let him do it 717 times without reporting it. Company working as intended I guess.

    Just because something is logged, doesnt mean its monitored like that.

    Even without monitoring though when something does trigger someone to look, you now have a record.

    They absolutely should have been monitoring for things like this though.

    Yeah I think it's a failure to monitor. But there's no monetary incentive to do that, so it won't happen without regulation, and the US doesn't have that political climate right now.
