Flock camera sales guy (and others) creeping on young gymnasts

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.

  1. Funny how, the more cameras we have- the worse our “justice system” gets. Well, we’re not going to do anything, but at least we know who did it… I don’t think it’s a cause and effect relationship, but there are causes at work.

  2. Just a tangential note: remember how 44 (or so) members of Iran’s leadership were eliminated at one time because they were all attending the same meeting? An article explained how the Mossad (and therefore the U.S.) knew where they were and when they were ALL there at the same time:

    The Mossad found where each one lived and observed what vehicles they used. The Mossad then hacked the traffic camera system and learned that all of them entered the same building.
    Then Israel made a statement which they knew would require the Iranians to hold a senior level “all-hand-on-deck” meeting.

    After that it was just monitoring the traffic cameras until they knew everyone had arrived, and BANG.

  3. Yeah…. NO, they can all go FLOCK themselves. The LCSO put one of those cameras at the entrances to my HOA… WITH the HOA board’s blessing.

    I’ve been seriously considering one of these (I hope it’s OK I link it… NOT my product, website nor do I get any royalties, commissions, etc. for this product):

  4. Well Chicago and now Cambridge got rid of their ShotSpotters (not even cameras, just microphones) so it should be possible.

    Anyone know how much copper in one? Asking for a friend.
