The answer is, he is an individual, and Flock cameras are not targeting any one individual, at least not in theory.

Also, I see the argument he's making. The argument is, if it were your child who was kidnapped, would you not want your neighbors to give up some of their privacy in order to turn cameras on every corner toward getting your child home safely? But the problem with that is, Flock cameras are not bringing kidnapped kids home. Neither are Ring doorbells, which are just as bad. What they are doing is making life worse for people of colour and anyone else They want to target. So that's the problem. The parent can't blame their neighbours (particularly their dark-skinned neighbours) for wanting their privacy when a child's safety is on the line, because the Flock cameras are not bringing any children home. That's not what they're for, and pretending they are is bullshit and everybody on both sides knows it. We COULD use all this tech for good. But the people who run it don't want to. They've proven this time and again. So no, they do not get the benefit of the doubt. No, they do not get to take the high road, even hypothetically.
