Didn't the Flock CEO just admit (seemingly by mistake) that's these cameras aren't just license plate readers?
Who cares what the CEO did or didn't say he'll say whatever gets these cameras up around the world. We all know what this is. Halloween is the perfect time to cut them all down. Whoever thought of this is a hero
This was in response to the article which states that the cameras are license plate readers and conveniently omits that they can and have been used to track people on foot.
They've been saying they both are and aren't for months now.
