Love it Peter, love it! I understand lots of people like her, I think I voted for her as well, the first time, but after than seeing what she has been doing with this, it's hard to vote against any of the Bill of Rights. And as many people have mentioned, it's not just that the government has access, but lots of other people seem to be able to access this info too. The former Stasi would be so proud of this system, too bad East Germany is a thing of the past.

Let’s make this real and hear directly from someone negatively affected, in any way, from right here in Clay County by the LPRs.

I have heard good things about Sheriff Cook and from what I understand is reasonable. I suspect it is not just a local decision but probably pushed by larger law enforcement societies and associations as the most up to date modern version of law enforcement. Supported by the fact that other counties have trendily been installing flock around the same time.

If there is a specific need that needs to be addressed with Flock, state it and why not consider a time limit for them. Reassess or repermit them in a couple years.

Also, its not just Flock. Its locatikn on your phone, wearable tech, dash cams, closed circuit cams, satelitte cams, credit card.records, shopping memberships, internet cookies,etc. You should be just as up in arms about that in your life as Flock. Flock is used by the government which has some regulation. Google and Meta are arguably more powerful and for sure less restrained In my opinion.

All we are saying is that we'd like to hear from the sheriff herself on the topic you have mentioned.

At least two people have been arrested and taken to states they have never bern to due to artificial intelligence. Lost everything to fake charges. Why the judges in their home counties didnt save them, i dont know. Actually i think the flock saved a young woman after she was charged with vehicular homicide even though her confiscated car had no damage. You would think that highway patrol would make it a priority to investigate 3 deaths. The woman got saved by a good attorney. After she was detained with no bond , he forced them to actually look at her car. Then they actually found the right person. Not only was her car not damaged but she had never driven 100 mph . Cars electronic showed this.
