> What we need is a leak of a Flock database

In anticipation of this happening someone should build an open source project that processes data points from these cameras, reconstructs movement, correlates the data with with various public and non-public databases, and provides a searchable user interface that will make the average person shit their pants through combination of panic and disgust when they see it.

Then just wait for the inevitable data leak and let the public track the movements of every politician and lobbyist (by name), correlated with their other activities, as well as track anonymized members of the general public.

The average person won't ever "get it" unless they see a system like that for themselves. That might not be enough either but it would lead to some progress if executed well.
