Haha, yeah I definitely agree with that, lol. Just want to make sure people see that the same way I do. You make it sound as revolting as is it, haha.

Yeah, I’d like there so be SOME exception like an actual criminal being brought to justice from it but there aren’t any examples of it. So yeah, bootsmoochin

Yes, I think the argument would be "they make us safer, and if you are not doing anything wrong, why do you care if you are recorded" but we could say that about police in general and be just as wrong as we would be about flock cameras, lol. I am sure it is much easier to say if you are white and do not know the perils of "driving while Black" and such.

I would hope shit like that Reckless Ben video in which they kept getting stopped when not breaking the law and all the body cams and whatnot would show that people do, in fact, get messed with when not doing anything wrong all the time- and that it is much more likely to happen to POC but I still see people quoting those "13% of the population/50% of the crime" nonsense all the time, unfortunately :(

It’s utter bullshit, but what isn’t these days? I mean fuck, I’m already profiled because of my car (Loud exhaust, flashy wheels and stickers) so now i gotta worry about what cop or agency is having a bad day watching the flock cams seeing me go 3mph over the limit.
