      Or your car!

      Guy who was arrested and is facing criminal charges over destroying a Flock multiple Flocks was caught because of other traffic surveilance cameras. He didn’t let his targeted Flock see his vehicle. But other cameras did.

    Didn’t the Flock CEO just admit (seemingly by mistake) that’s these cameras aren’t just license plate readers?

      Who cares what the CEO did or didn’t say he’ll say whatever gets these cameras up around the world. We all know what this is. Halloween is the perfect time to cut them all down. Whoever thought of this is a hero

        This was in response to the article which states that the cameras are license plate readers and conveniently omits that they can and have been used to track people on foot.
