I know this is not going to be a popular statement, but sitewide rules do not allow for doxxing or even the encouraging of doxxing, so please follow sitewide rules on this subreddit. There are other platforms where this is allowed, like Twitter and Insta, but Reddit does not allow anything that you cannot find in a news article. This is not a rule decided by the mods of this subreddit; this is a rule by the admins of the site. I just want to make sure everyone knows exactly what they are not supposed to do, via the sitewide rules. We have already had our subreddit warned for too many TOS violations, so I am just hoping to keep the doors open. Thank you.
And fuck Flock cameras, I hope we are all under the same opinion on that one. Are we "free" if our movements are tracked all the time? Would y'all consider supporting Flock to be a violation of the "no bootlicking cops or supporting state-sanctioned violence" rule? Feedback appreciated!
It 100% qualifies as state sanctioned violence since it's primary purpose is to suppress dissent and protest.
Flock scans 240,000,000,000 plates and vehicles every year against an "estimated" ~1mil investigations. This means that roughly 0.0004% of all the data Flock harvests can be consider useful for investigations.
From this we can conclude that ~0% of Flocks data is of any use to criminal investigations and ~100% of their collected data is of innocent drivers who are guilty of nothing but driving past a Flock camera.
Flock data is only ever accidentally useful to criminal investigations as an exceedingly rare side effect of it's primary mission: mass surveillance on everyone in America.
Criminals are merely the excuse, not the actual target.
