  3. Cops Searched Thousands of #Flock Cameras for Reasons of 'LMAO,' 'IDK,' 'Hehe,' And 'Asdfg'

    Last summer, a cop with Lake County, #Indiana Sheriff's Dept used Flock's #surveillance search engine to look for a license plate across more than 19,000 cameras in 1,558 cities & towns. The cop's stated reason for the search, according to a record of Flock's system, was "LMAO." The cop is one of dozens who put gibberish, jokes, or other nonsense into Flock's "reason" box, highlighting the casualness & lack of care some cops have when searching an incredibly powerful surveillance system. […] "investigation," "test," or left the box blank as their search "reason," according to a new analysis by the @eff & shared with 404. EFF's investigation found cops across dozens of jurisdictions writing "LMAO," "LOL," "Hehe," "Haha," "idk," "blah," "TBD," & "robbery I don't remember the case number leave me alone" in Flock's "reason" box for searches

  5. The chickens have come home to roost, because tech sceptics have been talking about this for years - and the proof is in the pudding, thanks to #GamersNexus and Wendell of #Level1Techs. Of course the vendor denies it, in the face of irrefutable evidence.

    We know that #surveillance capitalism is only getting worse and from it a #surveillancestate will be born.
