Do you have a source to your Bryan claim?
replyIf you look at the map, there are zero flock cameras reported in that region.
None in Moscow Idaho where the murder happened, none in Pullman where he lived, and none showed between the locations.
There's a disclaimer when you first open the page that the map is incomplete and that users need to submit the data. It's possible that data hasn't been submitted/parsed yet
replyIt's possible, but I can't find a corroborating news report, and it's the first I've heard this claim made about that case.
replyYou can't rely on Flock's "transparency" reports either, they're woefully inadequate. In our County, the Sheriff spoke of a PD in the County getting a Flock hit. It was news to many, including Flock's transparency site, that that PD was a user of their services.
replySo I'm not overly surprised by this.
But the cameras that the law enforcement officers canvas in the area aren't centrally aggregated and tagged with meta data such that they can be queried at scale.
replyThere have been numerous instances where cops used it to stalk exes, etc. If it isn't already, it will be used to stalk a blacklist of dissidents. It will continue to happen as long as the system exists.

replySounds like it's working as intended. These systems don't track people, they provide objective clues and evidence.
replyBy tracking everyone at all times.
reply> However, I've seen multiple times where cops initiate a felony stop
replyAt what point do we accept that all systems are flawed? There could be many variables as to why the perp wasn't in the car. Maybe the perp stole the car. Maybe the perp borrowed the car. Maybe these systems do not work well in fog etc etc. I don't know how we're supposed to advance technology that makes us safer without getting into these muky situations from time to time.
Why do anything at all?
replyWhy even deploy such systems? I would support less for sure.
replyTechnology is a means to an end, not the end itself. If you can’t make it safe then don’t deploy it.
replyThere must be some level of acceptable failure.
