For any public money expenditures for products and services provided to public (gov) entities, shouldn’t the public (taxpayers) have a voice in what tools should be available? If the people don’t want gov to use this system, shouldn’t the gov comply?

They just monitor everything coming and going, instead.

stickman428Those who cut down flock cameras carry on the spirit of the founding fathers. May God bless those blade runners.
Those things are total shit. We are not the UK and we should
NEVER aspire to act like those limey cunts with “anti crime” cameras everywhere.
The people who cut down flock cameras are patriots in my eyes.
We already have enough assholes with cameras who do nothing to contribute to society. I will never support these stupid as fuck cameras or those who support them.

You don't see the potential for abuse of essentially nationwide real time tracking of every single person going about their daily business?

Flock is a tool FOR people in his profession.
It's a tool AGAINST the rest of us.
