    Ya know, I'm not on Flock's side here.. but be real, this is theft. You should be able to own that if you're going to do something like this.

      Um, are you saying the hackers should admit they broke the law? Or that Flock should righteously own the data they collect?

      Either way, I d/c. Flock cameras are probably insecure, and their data is potentially dangerous.

      Bad laws exist, and following them may be prudent at times, but the act of following them isn't a moral imperative.
