This has nothing to do with the actual problem, which is Flock itself.
The fact that Flock controls all of the cameras, all of the data and said data is easily accessible means police and the state have access to information that they should only get with a warrant. A business having a camera storing video data that's completely local isn't an issue. A business having a camera which is connected to every other business that has a camera is.
Since when are warrants required for footage of people in public? Does a red light camera need a judge's warrant before it snaps a photos of a car running the light?
When it violates reasonable expectations of privacy. Being in public isn't a get out of jail free card. I mean, I could put up a camera right outside your house. It is 'public streets' monitoring your coming to your house is the sort of thing that does require a warrant.
