    I think flock is a pretty egregious example though. The corrupt us police were using it for personal reasons most of which were nefarious.

    I’m not sure if Americans can really articulate this because they’re kind of used to their police being the enemy, but I think the larger issue isn’t so much the cameras themselves, it’s mass surveillance by an organization that is barely one step above criminals.

      Law enforcement in the US extensively use the private sector to bypass the courts and get around having to get a warrant.
