With more than 80,000 AI-powered cameras across the U.S., Flock Safety has become one of cops’ go-to surveillance tools and a $7.5 billion business. Now CEO Garrett Langley has both police tech giant Axon and Chinese drone maker DJI in his sights on the way to his noble (if Sisyphean) goal: Preventing all crime in the U.S.

spying on innocent people doesn't stop criminals .. prosecuting and imprisoning criminals STOPS criminals … ABSOLUTELY cannot stand companies taking freedom and liberty from people in "the name of Safety". ALL of it is BS as it infringes on the rights of innocent people who pay taxes.
Sorry but this is super suspisious. It sounds like he's trying to justify using the threat of being caught commiting a crime as a great deterent towards everyday people, but when it comes to the local law enforcement they all of a sudden have no ability to prevent them or seriously threaten them with conviction if the system is misused. You guys could easily enforce this. They already want your buisiness. You hold the leverage and set the rules… You're either so desperate to end crime or hiding something. Y'all need to address this ASAP . As someone who I assume studies criminal psychology, you should know that if someone can misuse the technology, they will misuse it, and if it's this easy, eventually it will be misused so badly that there will be no coming back… I'm all for solving and preventing crime, but not at the expense of allowing others to commit them 😢
The hubris of tech culture to excuse breaking the law by “being ahead of legislation” is one of the biggest problems of modern society. When a company in good faith wants legal advice, it doesn’t “ask any person on the street”, it asks legislators.
big brother is watching
Whata chode😂
Cool. But? Criminals **steal a car and commit crimes. What good does tracking it do? They ditch it shortly after the crime and grab another one.
Has anyone heard about a little place called CHINA?
Did he just say " I don't think anyone intentionally wants to break the law" 😂
Sounds like just another way to capitalize off of the criminals in this country
This host is about to fall asleep
Langley is his last name haha. I'm sure the CIA is already a customer
China?
Horrible
Police (robo cop) drones
Someone should hit Langley with a classic Luigi.
Interesting company, less crime is good. The reporter is also good.
The people who champion lawlessness alway hide behind the phrase "the most vulnerable". This guy came from crime ridden Atlanta, solved the problem, but oh no the "privacy crowd" prefers their crime to their own well being.
Im good on drone surveillance
Surveillance state where the people who hold the power can enforce the law but do not have to follow it. This technology exaggerates this.
This is a terrible idea
This Big brother watching, this is not freedom 😢
I don't want to live in this world
This is NOT about safety. This is China 2.0 in a town near you RIGHT now. Bad idea.
Should have called it Sheep Safety. Good luck.
This needs to be stopped. We wouldn't accept this if it was the government. I don't care if it's a private company. That is even worse since there is less accountability with a private company.
Do you want to be video recorded as soon as you leave your house? That's exactly is what is happening. There is a very wealth city in California that had their city approve a contract with Flock. The city voted on it without letting the citizens know about it. They only found out because a retired woman makes a newsletter for the community and she always goes to the meetings.
One citizen said he can't leave his home without being recorded on video. There are cameras all over the city so they can be tracked where ever they go. They don't have to piece it together from different cameras. The AI will do it for them. As soon as it's told what to look for it will show video of you from each camera. In the city you live. It will follow you across your state and into the next one. All they need is the make and model of your car.
How can anyone think that is a good idea. A system that can track you with video anywhere you go. As an American citizen the thought of this disgusts me. Now they want to fly drones around. I wonder what the people who hack into it will do with that data.
This needs to be stopped.
How will you prevent miss use by government once your system is installed
The perfect gift for a president who has everything
