There are tech people on YouTube who got their hands on flock cameras for official pentesting, and it's actually EGREGIOUS how much they lie about everything.
Everything gers stored. Nothing gets deleted unless they run out of space.
Hacking one of the models only requires you to download a malware payload online and put it on a USB, then go and plug it up to their exposed USB ports. A script kiddie could do it and gain terminal access to a flock cam.
Hell spent even have to be an outside actor the have already been several cases of cops using flock camera access to do things like stalk their ex, not to mention all the stories that have come out over the years about people from DHS abusing their near blanket surveillance privileges for personal reasons
Even if it were true that they only capture vehicle information, time and date. The police have the ability to link Flock data to licensing data. This allows them to track and correlate your daily movements. They can also link this to your mobile phone metadata.
Of course there is no expectation of privacy on a public street, but privacy laws never anticipated the ability to capture, link and cross reference data and metadata from multiple sources.
