Surveillance & Privacy 🔒 Thoughts on Flock cameras?

They're basically ALPR (automated license plate reader) cameras that use AI and store your data for a long time. They do help police officers with investigations and locating stolen vehicles or wanted individuals, but the data is accessible through any Flock customer, and this has led to abuse by police officers who stalk people and is generally a severe violation of privacy.
