No one wants their whereabouts subject to constant surveillance, except everyone who carries a “normal” cell phone, in other words not a burner.

Do people who carry normal cell phones do so with the active desire to have their whereabouts subject to constant surveillance?

Yes but you can always leave your phone behind if you want to drop off the map. Flock makes that borderline impossible.

  • You can remove your license plate, you will get pretty far before it actually gets you pulled over.

    • Actually, that won’t work. The flock cameras don’t only rely on license plate information. They use “AI” to determine the make model and color of your car as well as any outstanding features, such as bumper stickers or roof racks.

    • Leaving a cellphone behind is legal still. Removing a license plate is breaking the law.

      Drawing an equivalence is foolish.
