It’s bad enough that Flock cameras are tracking our movements, but get this:

Jason Hunyar lives in Dunwoody, GA, and attended several city council meetings over a period of months, while filing dozens of public records requests to learn more about the city’s contracts with Flock Safety. In a Substack post, Hunyar identified a Flock employee who accessed cameras in a children’s gymnastics room at the nearby Jewish community center. 

But wait, there’s more:

“If I owned a business, and a company was trying to sell me a surveillance camera, and they just showed me little girls working out in a gymnastics center, I would be like, ‘Call the police!’ ‘Get out of my office.’”

Sales demonstration or not, it’s doubtful that most parents would be OK with a stranger accessing a live video feed of their kids without expressed consent. Flock employees aren’t the only ones accessing live feeds, either. Hunyar’s public records requests revealed that Dunwoody police department employees were accessing live video at baseball fields, gyms, libraries, playgrounds, and pools.

Considering the fact that Flock is essentially an open system with little to no audit capabilities and that Flock employees can access any cameras, I’d say that if anyone with access had pedophilic tendencies, then they have a smorgasbord at their fingertips. This new twist goes way beyond cops keeping tabs on their exes and should be an additional cause for alarm and another reason that these things need to be taken down and burned.
