When Flock Comes to Town: Why Cities Are Axing the Controversial Surveillance Technology

Flock Safety surveillance equipment is appearing in neighborhoods across the country. I spoke with experts about the tech, laws and privacy issues at play.

CNET

Musician-turning-tech anarchist (?) Benn Jordan is making a very interesting series of videos about Flock cameras, their poor safety, and their gray-area interfacing with local governments:

It's Time to Take Down your Smart Cameras 😬

Super worth a watch. Lots of technical tidbits also.

Wow thank you for sharing this I had no idea this guy existed!

There’s more of us techno anarchists out there apparently!

Those were great to watch, thanks!

Also, I can't help but feel like I'm watching a young Dr. Emmett Brown.. Great Scott!!

Benn is the best. His most recent video is about Ring cameras.
And Data center noise pollution before that. It's the only channel I subscribe to knowing full well every video is going to infuriate me.
Benn's videos along with this one from a very chill middle-aged engineer/state rep made the difference in swaying our town to discontinue its Flock contract: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwbE5ks7dFg
