"It's a necessary tool. We need this tool to combat evil," he said.

What a shit ending. No. It’s not necessary.

absolute power corrupts absolutely...

Look. We really opened Pandoras Box with the Patriot Act. Collective societal fear ruled the day and plenty of entities found ways to exploit surveillance to make money. But I admit that never in a thousand years would I have guessed a mass private surveillance network. I was always fearful of state over reach, but not this privately driven partnership with every level of government.

Now, in my opinion, it's too late. Yes there is push back, yes even Florida banned them recently. A rare Florida win. But these companies are like ticks with an endless supply of blood. They'll latch on, get plucked off, but find another vein to tap into. You have to cut off their heads, but today's governing systems don't have the power or ethics to do that.

Oh and she was an outstanding investigator ._.

Such a mystery that this keep happening.

Apple said his office received a tip Friday from an outside source that Moore was using a Flock camera to track a former acquaintance, and an internal investigation began immediately.

I wonder who the outside source was. Was it someone at Flock, or another third party able to monitor law enforcement searches? Or was Moore bragging to her friends about illegally stalking her ex?

I fully believe that there's a cop out there who's already used these things to stalk and kill people, and either they just haven't been found out yet or their blue brothers are covering for them.

How things like this keep hapening? It's a mistery!

Joke aside, that's why a liberal govt pursues data minimalism.

At least flock is helping identify all the creeps.
