It uses machine learning algorithms to identify vehicles independently of the license plate. Leaked documentation has also shown they operate facial recognition tech, in direct contradiction to the lies they tell the public. Flock is fundamentally an evil company, delivering the infrastructure for totalitarian rule, wrapped in the alluring false promise of eliminating crime. They know exactly what they are doing, which is why they are so heartily embraced by fascists in government, from the top all the way down.
So the people that like these don't mind their own privacy being invaded? Perhaps they already know if caught doing something they will get a free pass?
Generally the ones putting them in are on the side of the system that gets a free pass wherever they go. And the majority of the public that allows it to happen fall for the "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" fallacy.
i mean, i can bow and scrape my way into free passes for the occasional thing (it's usually in exchange for extraordinary services rendered years ago let's be real), but don't think for a second i want those flock fuckers in my country.
