Canadian YouTuber builds 'Flock-like' camera to exclusively track police vehicles

USAFRet palladin9479 said: This needs to be a product purchasable on amazon that anyone can install on their own property. Setup a consume database that tracks police vehicles using ALPRs and watch what happens next. Good quality cameras are already available. Reolink, etc. All we need is the software and database.

PEnns The irony and the reaction of the police is truly breathtaking! One of the comments on the Youtube video is this one that nails it!! "If you're not guilty of anything, you have nothing to hide, isn't that right, officer?" Another good comment: "It always comes down to 'Officer Safety', like they're some higher class of citizen over anyone else and their existence is paramount." Reply

avatar42 Funny that Google Maps already tells you if there are cops on your route. It shows how easy it would be to start a service where people upload their security camera notifications into a searchable DB like Flock's. Many of us already do this locally with free AIs. All the Flock uproar has shown the general public that the tech is not only here but cheap. HOAs were Flock's original market. Easy to see someone else wanting this market. A lot of the Flock lease cost goes to cellular data. An even cheaper alternative that uses cameras already in the neighborhood will be even more popular. The same goes for businesses, which can post when they see something being stolen to alert other businesses on the service. I'm kind of surprised alarm companies like Vivint and ADT aren't already offering this. It would be great for getting whole neighborhoods to move to their service. I'd also add that it would be great for monitoring whether police or security guard patrols are happening or responding in the neighborhood. Reply

theSquee The cops are just another organized armed gang. At this point I think I'd rather have cartels. They only exist to hurt you, they never ever help. I hope this makes them feel very unsafe. Maybe losers would stop joining them. Reply

expired56k Except this isn't a valid comparison. Ordinary citizens could care less to track the policy or cause them any harm, that's a tool for the criminals under the guise of equal rights. This analogy basically equates police to criminals. One would have to be a criminal or an idiot to really think this is good. If the police are this bad in the area, then it would be more appropriate to go via city governor or some such to address the issues. This isn't the way. Just my personal opinion on the matter, not an argument. Reply
