Let’s be clear here, “solving crime” is just “violating your rights” with “because presumably a Judge allowed it” sauce on top.
Good stuff

An estimated 460,000 children go missing in the US every year. Flock cameras have not helped to solve this problem one iota.
Flock cameras are being used to stalk ex-girlfriends, surveil recreational pot users, harass women who get abortions, and creep on children.
They were never meant to solve crimes.

this is what I came here to say. Flock/mass surveillance will never be used to our benefit.

there will be no crime saving

If Flock was really useful it should be pretty easy for them to produce statistics showing as much.
The fact that the can’t or won’t says a lot.

Even if it did actually track crime and lead to convictions, I don’t care. I do not want government spying devices on every corner

O it’s useful or they wouldn’t be doing it. It’s just useful at doing things that are at best questionable. But more likely are just outright illegal.

It’s useful not in a here and now way, but in a “we need this as a critical part of the upcoming technocratic feudal autocracy you all will be enslaved in, so we know where to send the ai robot dogs to put down any potential uprisings before they start” kind of way.

It’s time to start looking at both Ring and Axon

What rights?

To bare arms

Just standard modern conservatism. Wrecking a few people’s lives is worth catching people doing nothing wrong. But you might.

don’t forget religious people. that’s where conservatives get all their ideas.

Still falls under violating rights as they pull the wrong car over with violence and at gunpoint.

How often can your supposed rights be violated until they’re no longer rights and just words on a piece of paper?

Once, when done by the same institution.

Flock cameras also create crime. The company will say things like they have measures to prevent abuse but they don’t. For handling a abuse after it happens. And abuse is a euphemism for crime like stalking.

This is your periodic reminder that Flock Safety is only the tip of the problem.
Some districts are de-Flocking only to install an Axon ALPR network service. Keep fighting until your community outlaws all ALPRs and ALPR lookups are inadmissable in court.
There are other technologies that are already in use and widely abused by law enforcement such as IMSI catchers, geofence warrants and Drones as First Responder. Learn what your district allows and be a civil nuisance untill that shit is blocked.
Judges have long ceased tightly constraining judicial warrants, and most courts accept the good faith exception, so US and state courts cannot be trusted with any overreaching surveillance technology or forensic tools. This includes chromatic field drug tests and detection dogs.
