    Ha ha, you fools! No one is collecting my data from my 22-year-old Scion while I drive past Flock cameras every day.

    Wait...

      There’s “oh he’s at the grocery store” data,

      and then there’s “he’s driving in a way we don’t like, let’s make him pay more for his insurance” data.

        Well if you're driving dangerously why shouldn't you pay more?

          You already do if crashes or tickets show that you’re a bad driver.

          Insurance company profits are not a valid reason to implement pervasive surveillance, especially given all the potential for abuse of this data.
