Is Flock equally liable for criminal use of its data by law enforcement officers?
replyEdit: Flock is/was breaking California state law by allowing outside partners to illegally access data collected in California.
If they were intentionally helping commit crimes then yes they should be tried as accomplishes.
replyIsn't that like saying that guns may be legal but later use of those guns may not be?
replyThat’s a completely logical and true statement… I can own a gun but I can’t threaten your life with it.

replyGuns are legal but murder is not, so ... yes?
It makes sense to me that recording public activity may be legal but publishing those videos would not be (for example name-and-likeness copyrights).
Or that you'd need a warrant to search those videos and issuing a warrant comes with a one-time key that decrypts the search parameters you specified in advance to get the warrant.
