    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.

      All that data about ... license plates if you're willing to steal/damage private property. Seems like it would be a lot easier to setup your own ALPR.

        License plate data is bad enough (and unconstitutional in many jurisdictions, despite ubiquity).

        Also, there’s way more data on there than plate data.
