How Flock Cameras Wrongly Tracked Me for Days Over ‘Stolen’ Plates and Sent Police After Me (www.thedrive.com)

A simple error got magnified by Flock's nationwide surveillance camera network and ended with four cop cars boxing me in.

Flock was literally built for this (to track stolen cars), not how it's frequently used (for police to stalk ex girlfriends)

...and they can't even do the one thing they were designed for.

yup. would love to see the amount of grunt they're applying to compute and track all this garbage. it's an obscene invasion of privacy and local govs love it. fuuuuuuuuu
