Sometimes a surveillance state catches the people who assume they are at the top-of-the-power-hierarchy. You have to wonder if that might make them re-think the whole 'surveillance is great!' position.

So let me get this right. The same people that abuse Flock cameras for their own benefit and to invade other people’s privacy are outraged when Flock is used on them? You can’t make this up, the absolute audacity of ANY police department is mind boggling.

Oddly feel like congress could actually get involved here, which I’d welcome. It’s out of control and seemingly an issue most/all Americans agree is problematic. We’re living in a fraudulent surveillance state.
