    It’s actually a good idea? You don’t have expectation of privacy when you’re outside. It’s legal for anyone to install a camera pointing outside.

      so you are ok with the police officers who used Flock to stalk and rape people.

      Got it. when you are a victim of Flock and get raped/killed by a stalker who used Flock. I’ll remember to point out that you were ok with Flock before you were personally affected. typical fucking Republican… you don’t give a shit until it affects you.

          then why support letting a private company track everyone and anyone while handing that information over to cops without a warrant… letting hundreds of cops stalk and rape people?
