    It's a private company. That's a huge problem.

    no expectation of privacy? There is an expectation of not being tracked

    Prior to these the police or any other law enforcement agency would have to go to a judge and get a WARRANT and install a GPS on your car secretly and follow you, now they just log on in their police cars or at their desk at Langley and follow you everywhere you go! It’s called a warrantless search and seizure and it’s illegal! Supreme Court Ruling on
    Warrantless GPS Vehicle Tracking, it’s the exact same thing except they are not putting it on your vehicle they are putting them on every corner, just look around you will see them!

    now they have expanded to photograph ATV, next unregistered vehicles or uninsured vehicles because they are most likely to be criminals, next a pedestrian, next...this is the natural progression

    This is what you get for not speaking up. Flock touts "fighting crime together" but their marketing had a had time getting into New England as opposed to other locations in the country so they targeted Providence, which although one of the safest cities in the nation...to get a foothold in New England..because they had a sympathetic ear and contacts there.

    How is this cameras controversial when your in public and every one can see you if you don't want to be seen in public then stay in your house you should not have to worry about getting arrested if your not doing a crime in public it's comes down to law abiding Citizens not having issues in public because they are not braking the law

    You know what’s crazy - your phone already keeps track of when you go places. Your car’s description, VIN, and plate are already logged somewhere. You’re in the public. You’re using a phone. The cameras aren’t getting anything that you’re already giving.
