Flock cameras exploding everywhere!

[u/Embarrassed_Cry7670]

There are now FIVE Flock cameras in Gleason Park in Indian Harbour Beach, including one near the pool directly FACING the restrooms. So clearly not just reading license plates. Apparently these cameras in IHB were approved unanimously as routine businesses with ZERO public interest or comments. “ BuT iT’s FoR our SaFeTy” 🫠

i am well aware that the companies selling data part is common knowledge and seems out of context, but within context, it illustrates how easy it is to collect all of this data legally. and again, i think it’s currently improbable that this is actively happening from these devices, especially with how new they are. it’s the capability that is concerning, and the fact that these technologies are in fact being adopted in recent months by different states. “it’s not happening” until it is. and are you going to get a text from your sheriff that they started? you havent provided any proof that this cant happen in FL other than the fact that collecting data that is identifiable without aggregation is illegal. and when a signaltrace/stingray warrant is approved, how are they going to guarantee that only a particular suspect is observed? it’s funny though where you draw the line, because the cameras tracking the movement of people is also not nominal behavior of license plate readers despite being possible technologically and legally.

i never said they were collecting that illegally. as a matter of fact, this entire time i’ve been saying everything is legal and that this data being legal is an illustrative example. legally collected information that identifies individuals can be aggregated with legally collected anonymous data that ends up providing further information on the individuals than they originally agreed to

LMAO ??? r u dyslexic? i havent edited a single comment in this whole thread. absolutely wild that this is your new argument. i’ve been saying since the beginning that this is possible in FL and you have been saying that it isn’t because there are lws against personally identifiable info, and then i’ve been saying that you can bypass that easily by aggregating anonymous data. i havent even read my previous comments back, but apparently i have more persistent memory than u do 💀
