Probably worth posting some links to the Institute for Justice's "Project on the Fourth Amendment":

This Project includes work to fight technologies such as Flock's in the courts:

I've always felt good contributing to IJ and the topic and takes in the posted video are precisely why I do so.

Flock (YC17)

"Above aboard", "Capitalistic", "Terroristic". Interesting cluster of idiom and register errors. Suggests limited exposure to written English.

I would not do this now, but teenage me would be spray painting every lens. Not to give anyone ideas...

I dislike this person and company. That is putting it mildly.

Flock is a terrorist organization

Man everything about this interview is so cringe.

I'm a deflock user - I'm a libertarian. These cameras are a huge privacy violation, its amazing how fast Flock has grown ubiquitous. There is a strong Fourth Amendment argument against Flock, they have a generous interpretation of the constitution that your car has no rights and neither does your license plate therefore you have no privacy while on the road.

I've also been on the receiving end of secret Federal subpoenas for private user information at a YC backed startup. They include gag orders and management does not question the orders - they simply comply. It happens more often than you think.

However you feel about the current administration, imagine this power in the hands of the other.

Flock isn't American in any sense of the word. We should work in our communities, through legal, procedural, and civil means to eliminate these terrible, terrible cameras. The cost is much worse than the benefits on offer.

This statement essentially boils down to "The only right way to fight me is in an environment where I expect to win"

That's how you know the DeFlock strategy is effective. They aren't playing the game that the CEO wants to play, they are playing the actual game. The actual game is minimizing the impact of cameras that are now everywhere.

Some individuals may take it upon themselves to vandalize the cameras, which can't be planned via conspiracy (that would be illegal), but those radical individuals can be "set up for success" through information. This strategy of creating an environment where effective vandalism is easy, is also part of the actual game.

Flock is a terrorist organization.
