TLDR: Flock is moving beyond fixed roadside cameras, into drone surveilance.

With a fixed camera, you might be able to alter your travels to avoid it. In practice that is hard due to how many there are. But you can try. A drone can be anywhere. You prob won't even know it is present most of the time. You cannot change your routes to avoid it.

We now know that Flock does not log only plates. It also IDs pedestrians and cyclists, ppl on scooters or skateboards. It seeks to build a complete picture of the movements of a whole population.

Where does their CEO live? I want to completely surround his house with livestreaming IP cameras so everyone can watch him all the time.

    My favorite are drones with laser pointers that can point down at flock cameras and drones

    “Fastest growing” is such a BS business-brained fake metric. This could mean they went from selling two drones to selling 20 drones, a 10x growth!
