    So… all that data is literally there for any unauthorized person to walk up and take it.

    It’s not even suitably encrypted on device?

    Zero trust in anything Flock says.

      My working assumption based on what I hear out of Flock is that they have a public feature set (mass license plate surveillance for LEO) and a covert feature set (even more mass surveillance, beyond license plates and privacy agreements, for intelligence communities).

        The man who would choose security over freedom deserves neither.

          Didn’t realize Jefferson misquoted Franklin
