They removed the camera once they noticed its going to hit them in the pocket and also from the public outrage. We all know where they stand now and that they are +1 in favor of mass government surveillance. So no, i will not be updating the title of this post.Since they removed the camera, I think it courteous to update the thread title and initial post to “Route 66 Removes Flock Cameras” or something like that.
We’re going see a million more replies from people who haven’t seen the update and/or coming here to update.
HAHAHAnever mind, the check cleared
Your reply is unrelated. It's the fact that you don't need a warrant to access the data that makes it worrying.The fact that the process gets abused, occasionally, doesn't mean that we need throw the baby out with the bathwater. Sure, sometimes people use knives to murder others, just like sometimes crooked cops harass their ex girlfriend. Does that mean we need to make knives illegal?
I'm sure I missed your point here because I don't see how it's relevant or fits with what we are arguing here. We are trying to argue whether the government's use of flock cameras is in violation of civil liberties or not and you are talking about Bob killing Alice. Not following your train of thought hereYou missed the point: Just because two actions have the same result (Alice dead) doesn't mean they are the same in the eye of the law.
They will have LPR data either way, cameras everywhereI can't help but wonder....how many people that are so outraged about this also support what ICE has been doing over the past few years. Since it's pretty well known that ICE uses Flock data, it would be ironic for those people to take the position of taking away a tool that ICE has been using.
I wasn’t necessarily defending them but more so advocating for keeping the thread updated and reducing duplicate posts. Many folks read the title and post immediately without reading at least the few most recent posts.They removed the camera once they noticed its going to hit them in the pocket and also from the public outrage.

No. Chatrie says: LE using a warrant (!) to obtain cell phone location constitutes a search. It explicitly did not say that a 3rd-party (non-governmental) cell phone provider retaining cell phone location data is already an illegal search. It did not say that LE using a warrant to obtain that data was an unreasonable search. It only said that using a warrant to obtain that data held by that 3rd party is indeed a search.Dragnet surveillance, which Flock effectively is, is a violation of the fourth per United States v. Chatrie, and anyone who claims otherwise is a traitor. Simple as.
It's supposed to get a warrant for things like cell phone data. I see no reason why it wouldn't apply here too. Except for the fact these are installed on government contracts most of the time. Still shouldn't be allowed.does the government need a warrant to purchase the information this 3rd party non government entity collects on citizens![]()
