The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.
“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”
No! 😀
I think the window of compromise has long since passed. Flock as a company went in with a guns blazing, anti-privacy, record everything, give the information to anyone style business style, and then chose to double and triple down on the style when the controversy/outcry first started. Once you’ve hit the stage where there’s people starting to protest and riot and cities have started to go out of their way to ban the product and retract contracts due to the fact that they’re concerned about public support. It’s too late. That’s a fire that’s not being put out.
What compromise? Where’s your warrant to search our lives, our comings and goings? Rich people don’t have to deal with this harassment.
We’re already in the safest time for petty crime ever, and flock won’t help with America’s real issue of corporate crime. Safety will not be affected.
Ok. No
I think one of the problems that encompasses the flock debate besides the privacy issues is the relationship that the police have with people in the United States. Most police view people as a threat and if you look at the police training they teach them to be extremely violent. During simple traffic stops most police are on edge and have an attitude like they might be violent with you. I’m just talking about the general atmosphere- I’m not even getting into all of the examples where police have killed people for no reason, falsified information to arrest innocent people, and generally abused their power.
Did police want to wear body cams or did they want to continue without accountability? Police have a responsibility and have taken an oath. They should be required to have cameras.
In a society where all of its parts work together towards the same goal, ALPRs would not be a problem. In the US this surveillance is very worrisome.

In other words: Fuck you, Flock.
The compromise is that he lives
Fuck off with compromise. take your shit and get out no one wants you in case the guillotine wasn’t fucking clear
Lol, no.
The comprise is for the flock ceo to commit suicide with a shotgun
the compromise is for you to put flock cameras in every room in your house.
Flock off.
Remember, it’s Axon as well, and many more companies. and a major contrbuter who has linked in with all of these creepy services is Amazon and has the largest surveillence network in residential areas not just on travel corridors comprised of Ring doorbell cameras tied in to all of these systems.
Flock seems like the sacrificial lamb, to me. They are in your face, ther cameras are obvious, and their CEO runs his mouth so much everyone hates him.
It’s like how Elon can’t keep his mouth shut, but Ellison far more dangerous and nearly as rich.
“How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”
Spoken like a true sales/con artist. I can almost hear the brand guidelines poking through… Always mention safety before privacy, always treat safety as a given and privacy as the buffer zone in which to find compromise.
The compromise is how far each town chooses to go above security tier 0: emergencies with immediate threat to life or property.
- tier 0 is defined as covering 100% of law enforcement requests of all agencies with jurisdiction in the covered area.
