Fuck surveillance. But OTOH, #fuckcars too. If these flock cams are really just to snoop on cars, that’s bad-on-bad as far as I’m concerned.
From the article:
So cyclists are not being snooped on, correct?
Hard to trust their words. But the first time they use facial rec info in court the lie will be blown.
Flock has been proven to lie repeatedly already. The cameras are being used by police officer to stalk their ex's (plus over 100 other cases of cops abusing it), as well as used for thin justification to detain and illegally search people. They are also being used to track women getting abortions out of state, as well as activists.
Benn Jordan also exposed that Flock cameras have virtually no security, allowing anyone to log into a camera via wifi and alter footage/evidence, download what its recorded, etc. They also proved that Flock cameras will track individual people walking around, such as in parks where some are installed.
They are unlikely to have any effect on people driving less, and instead are being used to further the goals of the fascist state.
