The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

There should be no compromising our right to privacy and these cameras need to go. Fuck Flock and their cash grab.

Also as illustrated again and again, from ICE hunting down good people to cops stalking women because they are pigs, surveillance is not safety. It's rather the opposite. I want privacy so that I can remain safe.

I don't think anyone who ever lived in a totalitarian regime would describe it post fact as having made them safer.

Fuck Flock, Axon, and the entire rest of the surveillance state, both government and private.
