To clarify why I opened the door to talk to them:

They actually showed up while I was sleeping, and after around 10 minutes of waiting in their unmarked police car, saw my dad (who was coming to visit me) walking up to my front door and chose to walk up at the same time as him.

When my wife opened the door to greet my dad, she immediately was asked by the officers to speak to me, to which my wife responded by coming upstairs, waking me up, and me coming down.

All the footage you see was captured by my solar powered security cameras which left gaps in its recording due to it only saving moments where "movement" was captured - why is why I requested and paid $323 for the bodycam footage (still waiting on them to send it over, as well as all the audit logs of how they're using local cameras).

I don't believe all cops are bad, and have had nothing but positive past interactions with them prior to this one. And even this interaction, while their questions and positions were leading and a bit ignorant at best, was a polite one that ended with a handshake. That's why I extended the courtesy of blurring their faces and protecting their privacy - even though that same courtesy is NOT extended back to citizens.

If you want real change to happen, the best way to do it is by continuing to raise awareness on the topic, talk to your city councillors, and let your voice be heard. I appreciate all the support from everyone - and believe this is an issue that the Canada NEEDS to start taking as seriously as everyone in the US is.

It is fucking disgusting that those cops showed up to your house for committing no crime. If you had committed a crime they would have had a warrant. They wanted to intimidate you to stop.

It always comes down to 'Officer Safety', like they're some higher class of citizen over anyone else and their existence is paramount.

"Im just doing my Job" - And your scared about somebody watching you do your Job, serving the Public? - While the other People are just LIVING THEIR LIFE and are being watched!

We are not mad enough… they are spitting on warrant requirements and our rights

The watchers don't like being watched.  This whole thing needs to be outlawed before all of our rights get removed.

Police finds out how powerful OSINT with some proprietary data is against them personally whilst using it themselves. LOL

"Why are you afraid if you don't have anything to hide?" There's LITERALLY a scene in Orwell's 1984 where Winston finds a room which doesn't seemingly have a telescreen watching his every movement. He spends an entire paragraph daydreaming about a moment of quiet privacy, the ticking of a clock, and a crackling fire. Just a moment to himself, unobserved. People don't like the Panopticon. It's a natural reaction.

Hell yeah brother, thank you for being willing to put your freedom on the line to expose these ghouls.

The companies are obviously just selling the data to whoever. It's so naive of the governments to assume it won't be used by a hostile government. Let alone anyone with bad intentions within our own government.

If you're not guilty of anything, you have nothing to hide, isn't that right, officer?

The mayor stating "this is a happy day" shows that the Flock cameras are not a happy or even neutral benefit to our society, and the mayor sees so herself.

The city spent over $10,000 to install a single camera 200 times. Thats crazy!!!

Flock isn’t just a scapegoat, they built the first nationwide shared system in the states.  They unleashed it

Flock has roughly 480,000,000,000 images taken since 2025 of license plates. With a 7% error meaning out of 100 photos 7 of them are fraudulent and wrong. That means there are ~40,000,000,000 images that are false. 40 billion false images that incorrectly identify license plates. According to Flock themselves.

Flock cams first and foremost needs to surveil police and government, it's the public's right.

10:38 Flock CEO has called privacy activists "terrorists", Anthony really letting them off easy here! But thank you for this, need more attention on ALPR and the tech

Too many psychopaths become cops to feel special and be able to flex their power over others.
