This is what's been confusing me about this whole situation. They've been tracking vehicle movements with ANPR cameras, the movements of your phone from its Bluetooth and wifi transmissions, and your movements with facial recognition for years now. Flock just stapled "AI" on to it and marketed it harder.

It's great to see communities finally speaking up about these issues, but it's going to take a lot of work to undo it all. In the meantime, if you have people around you that you can trust, maybe pool your vehicles and phones to increase the noise in their data.
