#Flock cameras says that it has “paused its operations with federal agencies” because their system has been used for ICE enforcement.
“Pausing” operations means that they HAVE BEEN ALLOWING IT until now.
Flock makes money per query. They are incentivized to allow “law enforcement” types to query their systems for as many things as they want, including tracking people down for violating anti-abortion laws, suspected “immigration” issues, and who knows what else.
Your tax dollars are paying for this. Flock cameras should be taken down.
