The first time I heard of Flock cameras was when I happened upon a Steve Lehto video where he discussed how Fedex was working with police departments and Flock in order to “prevent” crime and honestly let’s call it what it is, mass surveillance. Be it government, corporations or intelligence agencies, everything these days is about consuming data and monitoring the populace for “safety”. In Flock’s case, its being leveraged by the police to dragnet information to include bumper stickers, sounds, people, and license plates to geolocate where you were, for how long, your direction alongside the obvious time stamp. Flock’s website is straight to the point in stating their goal is to eliminate crime. By using their network of pole and Fedex mounted cameras they are always watching your movements and making a database of their findings for future recovery, pattern of life recognition, and trend analysis.
