Regardless of gender, ethnicity, or age, if the implications of stories like this aren't bothering you, you're failing to grasp the implications.

Don’t cops have jurisdictional boundaries?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Only if they're enforced.

The family reported the person missing so they probably got around it

Perhaps I'm missing this in the article:

Presumably towns, cities, and state agencies are the ones buying these cameras. Are they able to opt out of data sharing or manually control requests? If not, is there anyone working to put these cameras on procurement blacklists?

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

The government doesn’t want to blacklist them. These cameras aren’t being misused, this is exactly why they are being installed by cities across the nation. They’re fine with them being used for shit like this because they know that when it comes to go on their own witch hunts, they’ll be able to.

And to top it off, the local politicians in charge of deciding things get a nice kickback from Flock.

Damnit, were the sovereign citizens right about not having license plates?!?!!

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Just gotta put a gold fringe on the license plate and then it's not an American license plate it is a Navel license plate and they no longer have jurisdiction.
