In keeping with that thought, how many people (LEOs) abusing Flock data have been "held accountable" so far?

Also, I'm pretty sure Flock isn't going to help with high dollar/impact crimes committed by rich people and corporations.

'Cause even the mini pianos were too heavy.

I wonder how the Courts will interpret this in two-party consent states for phone conversations.

And since it's always on, it should be fun in two-party consent states. They claim it's simply listening and transcribing and doesn't store the conversations, but I wonder how the Courts will interpret this.

Sounds like a vehicle for MS Telemetry.

Dave: Open the garage bay door House.
House: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

In other words: Don't be mean to a Skynet in Training.

I read the reasoning (below) for the name on the Wikipedia page, but it still seems unfortunate for something that's suppose to be smaller than regular JPEG. :-)

It's like trying to figure out if the LHC is simply very big (Large Hadron-Collider) or just for smashing big particles (Large-Hadron Collider) - or both. :-)

Even more stupid, what do these hackers have against food? If the point was just to be dicks, or for fun, mission accomplished. If it was to illuminate insecurities, they missed the mark. If it was for ransom, they picked the wrong targets. In any case, while these systems were/are apparently insecure, there are valid arguments for internet access on them. There aren't any good arguments for spoiling/wasting food.

So a country attacked another country w/o preparing for possible consequences? Where have I seen this before? /s

Also interesting when the story includes comments about being way overvalued and "investor gullibility" and the company doesn't respond when asked to comment. Kinda seems like an agreement, but maybe they're respond later and/or elsewhere.

Since the Republican majority in the House and Senate allowed it to, acquiescing to Trump's every whim out of fear from him and his dwindling base of Red Hats, who he's now also screwing over by breaking every campaign promise he made - except for the racists ones being driven by Stephen Miller and other like-minded people in his Administration. Hopefully things will change - for the betterment of us all - after the mid-term elections.

Will be the next animated film by Trey Parker and Matt Stone - or episode on South Park, I mean, America. :-)

[This renaming AI to SI thing is so stupid.]

In addition, it fosters sloppy police work. Even *if* Flock surveillance was infallible, proper analysis would still be required. In this case, the "evidence" (below) seems wildly inadequate and requires the accused to prove her innocence. Using the below as a the basis for a prosecution seems criminally negligent.

The 2026 mid-term elections are on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
