> premise of these cameras is that the operating LEOs control sharing

The practical effect is most of them have national sharing turned on.

For me, the red line was Texas extrajudicially enforcing its abortion laws through Flock. It’s illegal. It’s invasive.

It's illegal in Illinois. And when the scandal happened, we weren't impacted, because we'd already disabled out-of-state sharing many months prior.

Which was an annoying lift, because Chicago is part of a tri-state area (Wisconsin and Indiana); there are de-facto suburbs of Chicago in other states, and we had to say "no sharing without a phone call authorizing it".
