#Flock Accused of Reactivating Its #Cameras Without Notifying a Town
A Massachusetts newspaper reports that officials from the town of Littleton (population: 10,141) "claim that 5 of Littletonâ(TM)s #FlockSafety cameras were switched back on by the company without informing the town..." Littleton had temporarily disabled the cameras earlier this year, according to the article, but upon discovering the cameras were still active, city officials say they directed the Town Counsel "to initiate cancellation of the contract with Flock Safety & directed the Town Administrator to coordinate the removal of the 6 cameras on public ways" with the Dept of Public Works. Ironically, it's the same Mass town that last year was breached by a Chinese-state-sponsored #hacking group for over 300 days. Flock has also considered #dashcams installed in hundreds of thousands #Uber , #Lyft , & delivery drivers' vehicles "to scan license plates those drivers travelled passed"

Driving: Motor Mouth: YouTube’s inane crash videos may teach future self-driving cars. “… the best learning tools aren’t, says [Professor Krzysztof] Czarnecki, the endless of hours of on-road driving recorded by existing autonomous automobiles like Google-cum-Waymo’s Open Dataset, but rather crowdsourced dashcam recordings on social media.”

This man clearly deserved to be nicked and sent to #prison - horrendous #driving under the influence that caused a #crash leading to a pedestrian being seriously injured and permanently disabled - but its also a sobering reminder of just how much #CCTV is about (including on suburban residential streets) round here, and how #dashcams are used as an increasing part of evidence gathering..
