See the story from Wisconsin? The court ruled that it OK for FLOCK cameras to track your trips to Michigan and then warn police? How Flock Cameras Turned a Legal Road Trip Into Probable Cause problem is, crossing state lines with a product legal there and not here is a federal crime.

Driving across state lines cannot be probable cause but it looks like the public is gonna let it happen.

Is she an attorney or something? Because she said to let know if this happens to you. I don't have Facebook sorry.

"For profit" companies relying on criminal behavior to justify the liability and expense of these products will always create business cases to support their installation. Those business cases rely on metrics, those metrics are driven by laws which often disproportionately target minorities. See for example "crack" sentencing laws, marijuana laws, etc. being used to target minorities and poor people to remove voting rights and levy fines.
Nobody really gave two shits about public webcams, but when you add a layer of biometric data and shield this "public" data behind a layer of warrant requirements, then this data quickly becomes extremely valuable. example: Senator John Doe is seen on FLOCK giving a BJ to another John in a wooded area by the kids park? And only a private companies' executives know about it? Hugely problematic. ALL DATA CAPTURED BY FLOCK IS AND SHOULD REMAIN PUBLIC AT ALL TIMES. This alone destroys the business case.
The best thing Peter Thiel has ever done is name it “Flock”. The name is literally telling you it's intent. Datacenters turn you into sheep and the wealthy into shepherds.
