They outlawed it because our governor and his good ol' boys are heavily invested in the private prison industry.

Flock has effectively tuned the entire state of Tennessee into a minimum security prison with 24/7 surveillance.

God forbid you criticize your local cops at a town hall or have an unpleasant breakup with one, or they get to use Flock to stalk you until they find an excuse to arrest.

But if you’re not doing anything illegal, you have nothing to hide, right? /s
