You can't perfectly stop all behavior this is so fucking dystopian.

They're watching people do fuckin donuts and then pulling them over.

What about the FUCKING PEDOPHILES?!?

Por que no los dos?

The cowardly lion woman needs to be named alongside flock itself. This needs to follow her forever as well. Fascist mouthpiece garbage person

Her name is Caity Peak

She previously worked for the Elk Grove Police Department. She was named employee of the year.

Anyone else notice that you can hear a guy snoring through the end of the video?

Holy shit lol, good ear. Idk if it's sleeping/snoring or unhealthy breathing, but it's definitely sonorous breathing

So they have the capability of going after pedophiles, murders, and child kidnappers but they focus on No Kings Protests!?!?

What in the fuck is wrong with these people.

This is what literal fascism is.

Why would they go after their friends and bosses?

I think it's funny that one of the most well-known ancient pieces of writing is of a man complaining that he was sold cheap copper, and here we are over 3,500 years later still thinking merchants can be trusted. Flock was never going to serve the common people when they can make so much more money serving the wealthy instead. When someone chooses a career in making money over all else, the only thing you can trust about them is that they will drop everyone and everything for a buck.

Yeah, the "moral right" is crooked as fuck and in contradiction to their source.

I hate the banality of selling the panopticon to barely accountable militarized police departments with the same casual attitude as presenting a new AI workflow in a forced Microsoft Teams meeting.

These ghouls just walk among us and go on existing like they're people.

Because we don’t call them out, fire them, and overall make them feel more unwanted in society than they make trans girls feel.

Oh no I really believed that it was for our safety

Think of the children! (They'll be the ones ratting out their neighbors to the Party)

The Party?

Yup, soon there'll be Political Officers, like Soviet times. Just look at "loyalist appointments," for example.

Flock has a podcast for police departments. This evil woman is a host

https://www.flocksafety.com/podcast

They have a PODCAST??

I remember, back in 2010, when podcasts were new, NPR had a whole webpage explaining the concept to people, and how to subscribe to them, and that the only people who weren't NPR that were making podcasts were people with very niche interests, like Satanists or Furries.

Now every dipshit has a podcast, and they all suck shit

“Welcome to my podcast! You can listen to more in my patreon. Now go get some Hello Fresh!

Today we’re going to talk about how SpookyBogMonster thinks my podcast is shit. Well, I know you are but what am I? What do you think of that Mr or Mrs SpookyBogMonster?”

What do you think of that Mr or Mrs SpookyBogMonster?”

I just appreciate your willingness to be gender inclusive :)

2010?

The ‘pod’ part of podcast comes from iPod, they are from like 2004.

They even tried to make ‘vodcast’ a thing when the video iPod came out.

I bet kids today don’t even understand the original concept of everything being offline that you would have software to download episodes of podcasts from RSS feeds and automatically upload them to your iPod on the next sync.

Like you had to plan ahead before leaving the house. There were definitely times I was late leaving the house because I was waiting for my iPod sync to finish so I would have podcasts to listen to on my commute.

It was so small and unique. The daily source code was kind of the “look at this cool thing” of podcasting back in the day.

3g data really shifted podcast long from its original form to an on demand model.

Crazy how different and mainstream it all is now.

It does almost feel like a failure on our part that the Gen Zers I meet typically see devices as completely solid-state and always online. But it’s almost one step further than that, there was somebody on here a few weeks ago talking about that being able to take your music in with you from the car would have been sci-fi in the 70s and I was like cassettes are portable… It’s almost like the tendency to look at past generations as less capable than your own has also been dialed up to 11 in the current crop of college aged Gen Zers especially. But this has just been my personal experience.

How cute, she has a LinkedIn profile, I'm sure some creative people can do something useful with such information.

find her address place ten cameras around it and broadcast her whole life to the world

Oh you can just bet she hates the idea of thousands of people knowing her exact whereabouts at anytime of the day.

Can see her tone deaf public statement about harassment and calls for civility.

skills:

  • marketing
  • customer success
  • thought leadership
  • ...
  • Microsoft PowerPoint [✓ Passed Linkedin Skills assessment]
  • ...
  • 911 (that's not a skill)
  • mutual aid (politically indecipherable)

I don't know what to do with this information

I'm not even sure that this qualifies as information. It's just a list of increasingly disjointed things.

The unapologetically naked racism in that "car show" example.

“Based on who was promoting it.” WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

My first thought was the Paul Walker picture? So what, all Fast and Furious fans are latent criminals?

Those are some of the highest grossing movies of all time, surely you can’t profile criminals based on a film franchise with significant mass appeal. Talk about painting with a large brush.

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

One of the most interesting statistics I've ever heard was that traffic stops go up significantly around theaters that have recently screened a fast and furious movie.

I hope it's a true statistic because it makes a lot of sense.

If everyone is guilty of something, it makes yanking them off the street easier to justify to a news media asleep at the switch.

How was it racist? The language seems pretty banal

racism is not about the language itself. it's about as she herself said "who is running this car show, so we will keep an eye on it". it's panopticon-enabled racial profiling.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but why would you interpret "because of who is running it" as a racist dog whistle?

who would be the first kind of person to be the "suspicious guy running around", as opposed to a regular guy?

why would they need that distinction in the first place when it's just a so-called "car show"?

I mean, someone behaving suspiciously? To be honest, it sounds much like you think all black people are suspicious more than the lady in the video.

And car shows can get very rowdy - especially shows for more modern cars than classic or vintage cars. The botched car show in Gatlinburg TN a year or two comes to mind as a specific example.

police is notorious for racially profiling and this is what they already do, supercharged. arguing they don't is naive at best.

i was actually thinking of latin immigrants (ie someone like myself), which they openly use flock to target.

but yeah this probably applies native born black people too.

I need as many tools to make myself dangerous if and when I need it

boldly proclaiming your presence as a possible danger to the public is quite something

Why would anyone work for Flock I wonder?

I do something similar to what this person does (sell software to buyers), but she absolutely chose to work for this company. If I was expected to demo something like this I would refuse. She didn't.

Money

Selling soul for the money? I think I heard it somewhere...

Snooping on children doing gymnastics and shit. Probably spanking it too.

Would be a shame if someone were to surveil this woman and post her whereabouts for all to see.

What a great display of free speech!

Not even the courtesy to put a mask on it. Full on fascist police state

flock employees teaching to their hunters how to hunt them

Is this the original video? No torrent?

There was a mention of seeing blockages in traffic flow, and sending officers to free the traffic so drivers don't get upset ('road rage')

I was in yhe city once at a protest and someone in their car had a cry to the media about being late to a funeral because of a protest, like why're you driving through the cbd to a funeral? Why drive to a funeral at all?

Fuck flock, no doubt about it, but I really don't see the problem with this training example. The no kings protest were/are held all over the US, sometimes for multiple weeks. It is an example most officers will have some degree of experience with, and monitoring large masses of people for safety is totally normal police activity. The trainer specifically mentions keep officers out of the middle of everything, and then monitoring large crowd activity for signs of calamity. Frankly, I'd consider that model behavior for security at a large event. Stay out of the way, and watch for violent crazies. If I thought police would actually do what this training described, I'd be much more supportive of police than I am.

Ok, har har, but how would you actually like security at a large event like a no kings protest to go? What would you rather the police do differently than what is described in this video?
