"Flock safety currently solves ... %10 of the crime Nation Wide"

Pretty bold statement without citing data to back that up. I have already received a speeding warning letter from one of these things. Does that count as a crime Flock solved?

I tire of all this binary thinking. It is true that surveillance helps victims. It is also true that the same surveillance can endanger civil liberties. We should have some say in how much we will allow our liberties to be endangered.

Sounds like someone watched too much Person of Interest

If I recall correctly, "If LE looked at Flock in the process of investigating a crime that resulted in an arrest, it counts" (regardless of whether that look had any meaningful impact or any findings at all in the crime, just "in trying to solve this crime, did you run a search on Flock at all").

Flock cameras don't issue citations at all and don't appear to include speed radar.
