The fundamental issue here is the same one that led inevitably to Google's corruption: profit motive.

Flock's customers are data consumers.

Flock has every financial incentive to knowingly over-represent the reliability of their predictive analytics and actively conceal any issues with it.

If legally empowered and often armed end users are taking those representations at face value... well, there's the fundamental problem with Flock's business model.
