I think there is probably a core difference between recording the position of any plate which is wanted pertaining to a crime and recording the position of every plate. I have zero issue with Flock finding suspect plates, but the fact some journalists were able to get logs of where their cars were indicates it is far more overbroad of collection than an automated cop's eyeballs.
In my city of 55,000, Flock's transparency portal states that they've had 330,000 vehicle captures in the last 30 days.
From being a previous employee of Flock I know that each of those captures has some location and timestamp data.
Yes, but most of my comment was about corporate accountability, which no one wants to talk about.
