Residents of an Atlanta suburb have been rocked by the revelation that sales employees at Flock have been accessing sensitive cameras in the town to demonstrate the company’s surveillance technology to police departments around the country. The cameras accessed have included surveillance tech in a children’s gymnastics room, a playground, a school, a Jewish community center, and a pool.

"These are the kinds of things you can peak at if you buy a contract from us..."

Literally the only pitch that makes sense.

    A Flock camera near me was knocked over and the solar panel was all smashed up. It's been like a month and hasn't been touched yet. I wonder if they even care?

    I heard Flock sets up cameras in places and then tries to strongarm local governments into signing up because it's already there. Flaw is if the local government has even an iota of intelligence they tell them to fuck off and may even throw out a notice to the local PD to not bother with anything to do with the cameras, they may deal with a lawsuit if they destroy them but if randoms do no problem.

    It's legal to just put up a surveillance camera on property that belongs to someone else?

    I live relatively close to Dunwoody, maybe 50 miles north of there and this is the first I have heard of this. I am not surprised, though since Flock was a startup out of GA Tech and those cameras are just about everywhere in metro Atlanta.
