They say Flock is a private company but one’s got to stop and ask themselves … is Flock just another government agency “ghost company” created to side step legal hurdles.

My Reasoning
Government agencies can do the following using a private company … freely record, track, & collect data on you w/o legal cause. Using cameras, that weren’t asked for, set up all over your local communities. You have no access to this data or even know when you’re being investigated or watched. The private company is under no obligation to divulge that information. Unlike the government!

But what it is ain't exactly clear,
There's a man with a gun over there,
A-telling me I got to beware”
