    What’s funny is someone at flock is likely seeing this as a business opportunity. “With flock+ we will detect downed cameras and send a technician out to replace them instantly. Subscribe now!”

    Meanwhile, municipalities are less than thrilled about defending throwing money at something literally no taxpayer wants.

    This problem might solve itself really. Let the buisness majors sell the hangman their own nooses.

      Sadly some people do want flock cameras because they think it’s worth it to have a better chance of catching criminals even if our personal liberties get taken away. It’s the age old freedom vs safety discussion.

        Maybe a year or so ago, but now those same people are starting to understand the definition of criminal is flexible.

          I agree that the more popular opinion is changing to more freedom, but most of the older millennials and above that I talk to care more about catching criminals because they are more likely to be influenced by Facebook/Nextdoor posts and the mainstream media.
