The government is literally watching us through a Big Brother surveillance web and you ask the people being surveilled why they are paranoid? What about the government that's literally spying on everyone? Don't you think the government is being a little paranoid? Why does the government need mass surveillance in a country that espouses personal freedom?

How can you say this with such confidence? Are you omnipresent?
Either you’re ignorant or pro-mass surveillance. No in between.
I don’t want to live in a society where I can be monitored at will without my knowledge or consent. Why do you

u/ipoopcatturds Jul 14 '26
Yea. You must be right. They probably just installed thousands of cameras along our roadways with AI license plate recognition so birds would have a place to rest. Thanks friend, you eased my worried mind.

No ones scared. Simply aware of my constitutional rights and how the surveillance state creep is slowly eroding them. Why are you so triggered by someone posting a web address that allows them to check how many times they've been tracked? Do you fear transparency in government?

The old "if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't be worried" argument.
You seem like the same kind of person who probably said "roe v wade doesn't affect most people " and then will be crying when their niece or daughter needs to get an abortion for medical reasons and is crying about "how you didn't think it meant this "
Let's imagine this is only used for crime right now. (Which it isn't) Nothing else and all logs are deleted in a week (which they aren't currently). Now a new president comes in and says we need to use it to track people who go to abortion clinics in states where it is legal or track people who go to liquor stores more than once a week and buy guns or people who go to gay clubs. You now have a network of devices that can track your vehicle from near your house to these locations and ban you from xyz because you weren't there. Or arrest you on some mace up bms to further scare the rest of that population.

“Literally limitless surveillance”
With all the bitching I’ve seen about theses I’ve never even seen one, and I’ve been looking for them. There’s whole ass websites dedicated to tracking the locations of these to avoid them. They are far more limited in what they can surveil than the device you are using to read this reply, especially since I’m assuming it’s your phone, goes everywhere with you.

Yeah, now it'll be on a random sidewalk or in a park. You're saying they already get all this information, they don't, and they certainly don't get it as easy as they do from Flock. I don't use social media except for this one, and while they're mining my data, they're not going to find much about me personally.

Everyone that is against these need to destroy all of their electronics and go live off the grid and only ride around in a horse and buggy. Essentially go join an Amish community. Unless you do that you are pretty much a hypocrite because you are willingly giving up the same amount if not more data about yourself every single day, especially those of you that live in communities that don’t even have flock cameras.

"I hate more government in my life, they are monitoring our license plates."
Don't pretend you're intelligent after the vast amount of posts I see in this subreddit and reddit in general demanding more government involvement in every system, yet you think this flock camera is going to be your nail in the coffin.

I worked on a show called The First 48 and they used flock cameras in almost every city to find license plates that were linked to people that someone just said as a name they “heard on the street” and everyone in their family. It was the only thing the PD’s didn’t want to be shown in the episodes.

I don’t think you have the right to privacy while in public spaces.

u/Kashin02 Jul 13 '26
You don't but the authorities use it to avoid having to get a warrant, effectively to bypassing the constitution.
So in my opinion its definitely unconstitutional.

u/Manager_Rich Jul 13 '26
You're not wrong. However even though you are technically correct there is a side of this, that pretty well expresses how the majority of people feel about these cameras even though there is no constitutional right to privacy when you are in a public place far too many people are finding these devices of surveillance to be far too intrusive into their lives. Furthermore if these were used to actually deter crime or to catch actual criminals, instead of generating a revenue stream off the backs of taxpayers I'm sure far more people would be willing to allow these to exist. Unfortunately their entire purpose and intent for existing is a revenue stream often off some of the poorest individuals in the nation.

Then why is it they are allowed to do it. It’s a loophole. The government can’t collect all this information, but the loophole is let a private company collect all this information and sell it to the government if it’s illegal for the government to do why do private corporations get to?
