If you know where some of them are, you can add the data yourself: https://mapcomplete.org/surveillance

  • Maybe you could reach out to Flock directly and ask them to install cameras in your kitchen and bedroom too (for crime reduction reasons).

  • Enforcement is one way to reduce crime. Another way is to reduce poverty. Which will we choose? One road leads to South Africa. The other, Denmark.

    • These cameras aren't even enforcement, just surveillance.

      I think we all know even with the best technology in the world the police aren't gonna get off their lazy asses if your car gets stolen. This is just a way to burn money.

  • Can you elaborate upon the kinds of crime reduction that these systems provide?

    • Isn't it obvious?

      > License plate is reported to police associated with a crime.

      > Cop looks up plate number

      > Flock Camera shows general status and location of that license plate.

      > Cops find the car involved with the crime, preventing further criminality.
