@MaxellCorp @NewYorkBuild Sometimes I forget Maxell is a chemical and composite materials company, and the more consumer grade stuff is them just showing off their capabilities.

@beniyamiyake That's a good product endorsement. It's so well-made, people were concerned about hygiene...

Everyone should submit to warrantless tracking at the hands of the data broker Flock Safety whose checkered efficacy and security practices chronically expose kids and innocent people to harassment, stalking, and high-risk stops because every now and then someone might be located
Flock@Flock_Safety

“The normal patrol officer would just be driving around, and they would then just hope to stumble upon this car,” “If we would have just not had any time, resources or technology before finding this woman, who knows what kind of danger she could have been in.” — Sgt. Matthew Longshore, @AuroraPD When a missing 90-year-old woman with dementia was reported in Aurora, CO, Flock license plate readers helped officers locate her safely — fast. kdvr.com/news/local/aur…

The data broker Flock hanging onto any mention yet again, because on February 26th, two weeks after the incident, the police were reaching out to the public for information to help in this case because Flock's camera didn't actually help them find the suspect.
Flock@Flock_Safety

The @ArvadaPolice closed a hit-and-run case — and Flock helped make it possible. After a driver crashed into a fence and fled the scene, a Flock camera captured the vehicle and led investigators to the suspect, who was later apprehended. Know more: sbrew.link/lQKt5owy

I had an awful dream where Lawson changed their logo to boring green text on a white background with two vague polygons next to it.

Protecting kids by sending taxpayer money to the data broker Flock, who has a chronic habit of triggering high-risk stops on innocent people due to their flawed tech, getting kids handcuffed and held with guns drawn, or exposing them via cams on a playground with no security.
Flock@Flock_Safety

“Anytime we can use technology to help protect kids, that’s the number one goal.” — LT Griffitts, @CoronaPD. A baby was locked in a hot car, Flock DFR immediately launched a drone to provide the location. This allowed to safely rescue the child. More at: sbrew.link/1Fh83F7X

The data broker Flock Safety is credited with finding a missing person in Austin, Texas, but it took over 113 million scans of innocent people, exposing them to abuses from other departments including neighboring Dallas, Texas, where the guardrails accepted 'asdf' for access.
Flock@Flock_Safety

In a recent Silver Alert, Flock LPR cameras identified a lost man’s vehicle nearly 3 hours from @JoplinCity. The lead helped @JoplinPD quickly locate him, ensure hospital care, and reunite him with family. Learn more: link.flocksafety.com/3hAiLvT

The data broker Flock repeating the same flawed datapoint with nothing to back it up made over a week ago as their 0.2% efficacy rate fails to give them any actual news to use, where a 40% swing is likely single digits to low double-digits per their previous claims.
Flock@Flock_Safety

The national clearance rate for hit-and-run cases is 8–10% According to @quincymapolice Chief "We've cleared over 40% of our motor vehicle hit and runs." Flock license plate reader technology is helping investigators move faster and close cases. Learn: sbrew.link/Se6GQUe1

Creating a chilling effect is the explicit goal of Garrett Langley and the data broker Flock, where the average person has to question if they'll be caught in the surveillance dragnet, and 'pro-crime terrorist' critics being caught up is just the cherry on top.
Flock@Flock_Safety

"99% of criminals are not evil people." On a recent episode of Cheeky Pint, Flock CEO @glangley talked about the reality that most crime is driven by opportunity, not inherent evil. The goal isn't simply arrests. It's prevention. When technology helps stop crime before it happens, it means fewer victims, fewer people entering the justice system, and stronger communities.

A father abducted the child, so the suspect was already known, and even after the data broker Flock pinged a car it took twice as long again to actually secure them, so Flock's efficacy was minimal. Meanwhile, innocent people including kids are exposed to abuse and glitches.
Flock@Flock_Safety

An AMBER Alert. A child in danger. Resolved in under an hour. A Flock camera pinged the suspect's vehicle just 15 min after the alert went out helping officers narrow their search. 45 min late, the suspect was in custody and the child was safe. Learn more: sbrew.link/2zo5fb5c

Investigating a child shooting, like what the data broker Flock Safety almost creates on a regular basis with their chronic misreads triggering high-risk stops with children and their parents handcuffed and held with guns drawn, or just exposing kids directly with open cams.
Flock@Flock_Safety

Flock technology proved invaluable in a recent shooting investigation in Casa Grande, AZ. Investigators utilized footage from a Flock camera to identify a suspect who was quickly located by @GilaRiverPolice. Full story: bit.ly/4aOcjsN

@AutismCapital The two places i know of where to get it are Microcenter and for some godforsaken reason this community grocery store in the middle of nowhere, along with other hard to find sodas and flavors.

@7ndrew @SheriefFYI At the very least the version and build can be queried, then it can be programmed to throw a fit in response.

Everyone should be tracked without warrant by a private company who has a track record of negligent security practices exposing innocent people to abuse because it might make a case move a little faster, says CEO who has the power to ensure they won't be affected by these risks.
Flock@Flock_Safety

One delayed case is one too many. In LA, it took months to identify the drunk driver responsible for Bronn Levy’s death. @MADDNational CEO Stacy Stewart says tools like Flock could expedite identification. Learn more: sbrew.link/qMK4NXWq
