It's actually a good idea? You don't have expectation of privacy when you're outside. It's legal for anyone to install a camera pointing outside.

so you are ok with the police officers who used Flock to stalk and rape people.

Got it. when you are a victim of Flock and get raped/killed by a stalker who used Flock. I'll remember to point out that you were ok with Flock before you were personally affected. typical fucking Republican... you don't give a shit until it affects you.

Your presumptions aren't helpful in the slightest. Educate, don't enflame.

Being unaware of the ramifications is not even remotely the same as being ok with them.

being unaware in an age of information is like being ignorant of the law. you can still be convicted of a crime even if you didn't know it was a crime.

and flock's lawsuits are both public information and in the fucking news.

at this point you have to be a filthy maga pedophile watching fox news, in a coma and just woke up yesterday, or dead.

dumbass either is willfully ignorant or a filthy supporter who got caught out and doesn't want to be harassed.

then why support letting a private company track everyone and anyone while handing that information over to cops without a warrant... letting hundreds of cops stalk and rape people?
