I recently discovered a company called Flock which apparently is building a massive surveillance network. I came across a reddit post on r/sysadmin where an admin received a request to install a black box device so that law enforcement could access cameras.

    What are you dolts arguing about the ACLU comment instead of discussing the actual post?

      Because in a way, everything is political, to someone, whether you like it or not. Even mentioning the ACLU could imply there is some agenda behind what OP is doing.

        Engage with the fact that theyre tracking every car on the road in real time. Thats plenty political, so why focus on who’s talking about it?

        There hasn’t been a single other comment other than mine as of writing this thats actually talking about these cameras, you’re all just circle jerking about the righteousness of some.organization that isn’t even important to the discission.
