Apparently the solution to public outrage over Flock cameras is to replace them with a system that connects every camera, drone, dispatch call, and sensor into one giant police dashboard. Brilliant. We complained about Big Brother watching us, so they gave him a second monitor and a searchable archive.

    what? they weren't actually listening to you.

    they just made a system that's harder for the poors to break, because they seemed to be breaking stuff.

    You don't have to be some "expert" to see where this is leading. Its obvious.

    This may be the pipeline we need towards an effective movement to defund and ultimately abolish police forces and committees with unchecked power. We now have a long running data set of incidents in which they erect and abuse systems of control.

    They can't help themselves but immediately engage in corruption and abuse of power. You'd have better luck getting a dog to guard a steak.

    We need to start treating corruption as treason, giving aid and comfort to enemies of the people.
