I love the Flock cameras. Talk to YOUR Police Department. They HELP them find, follow, and catch those they are looking for - all in a very timely manner. Abuses..? Yes. Here's a thought....IMMEDIATELY FIRE ANY PERSON THAT USES THE INFORMATION FOR UNAUTHORIZED USAGE. IMMEDIATELY. TERMINALLY. NO EXCUSES, NOT PROBATION, NO LETTERS IN YOUR FILE. G O N E. !!!
Yes. As we should for any other police abuses. We have to support our police, but in exchange, we have to hold them accountable. We gave them guns and the power to arrest us, after all.
The issue isn't data centers per se. It is the manner they are being approved in many places with almost clandestine secrecy and little protection for citizens. We learned from the steel mills and chemical plants that we need them and we need tight controls and accountability. We should apply those lessons!
Complete transparency to citizens, locate them away from urban and suburban centers, demand water recycling with minimal demand, ensure all costs of needed infrastructure are born by the industry, eliminate all tax credits federal and local and require bonding to ensure the land is returned to its natural state of it or any building that is part of it goes out of service.
One of the major electric utilities in Arkansas, Entergy, is suing the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and Arkansas Times over their reporting on their negotiations with Google for data centers in the state.
1. The Supreme Court did great work on extending Fourth Amendment protections to geofenced data this term. Tech is always going to advance (unless we fall into some socialist dark age). The Constitution is the answer, and we hold enough power now to do something about enforcing it.
2. The idea that blocking data centers, self-defeating on its face, is particularly dumb with regard to this specific technology. Shutting down data centers to stop surveillance is like banning oxygen to stop murders. It's a stupid solution to a problem the Founders actually solved centuries ago.
What they didn't solve is conservative apathy to actually take stock of their situation and act accordingly.

Correct. And as to Flock cameras specifically:
1. The Supreme Court did great work on extending Fourth Amendment protections to geofenced data this term. Tech is always going to advance (unless we fall into some socialist dark age). The Constitution is the answer, and we hold enough power now to do something about enforcing it.
2. The idea that blocking data centers, self-defeating on its face, is particularly dumb with regard to this specific technology. Shutting down data centers to stop surveillance is like banning oxygen to stop murders. It's a stupid solution to a problem the Founders actually solved centuries ago.
