Trake_17 Mass surveillance is stalking at scale. Flock cameras are stalkers, as are the people who utilize them Reply
WMcMaster The more upset that people are about systems like this, the more the state will use them. Did I get the jist of what that guy said? Reply
Mathrawkee Flock have lied repeatedly about the capabilities of these devices as well as the retention policies pertinent to its data. Enough is enough. This would be unacceptable SLA in – any – other circumstance. Reply

I think they paraphrased him a bit too much there, because it seemed contradictory with nothing bridging it. Or he really is that internally conflicted. Reply

But when they pass all that data off to their partners, their "7 days" no longer counts. What is the retention policy of the recipient? Who knows…. Reply

It just reminds me again about how with all of these truly massive data centers popping up literally Everywhere, not only do they have absolutely insane amount of processing power, but they must also have near limitless data storage capabilities. In the past I would always find myself at odds with trying to visualize just how much storage companies like Google has got for things like gmail and YouTube, along with all of the other data the companies hoards. But I'm not sure how well people can estimate just how much data can be stored in all of these data centers that have gone up in the past year alone… Reply
Don_Serious I don't care what the rights are to retain information for how long passed what's originally stated. It's sad to see that we have to resort to hackers being the heroes in this timeline. Government is showing its colors blatantly. Reply
Nolandc 27k clips and 1.6mill pictures. How much storage do these cameras have… That's averaging 7-15TB… No way those cameras have that much storage… Reply

How much storage do these cameras have… That's averaging 7-15TB… No way those cameras have that much storage… The original article says that the camera captured 1.6 million pictures over 21 days, based on logs stored on the camera. It didn't say that all of them were still stored on it. Reply
tfrancis FLOCK's a secretive method government agencies are happily placing in the hands of powerful authorities. Our tax money supports it & yet there's no VOTER approved referendum. Sure, FLOCK's used for good. So are armed LEO'S carrying Glocks & 9mm's. Except when there's an unlawful use of force & an officer's fired, convicted or hired somewhere else ! Trained cops (Citizens on Patrol) normally wear uniforms, badges, use marked vehicles, etc… Why aren't these cameras not readily identifiable, lit up or painted like Chistmas trees ? Follow the money ya'll. That's the # 1 reason. Public good is further down the list. Reply
