Police want Axon's cameras redesigned so they don't get mistaken for Flock's

I don’t think you know how the world works

Lol. OK there, big swinger. A stunningly solid TikTok-level bit of intellectualism you’ve equipped yourself with there.

Not really they just don’t

"Three Felonies a Day" was a book making ridiculous hyper- hyperbolized claims about the theoretically possible (but not observed in real life) consequences of hyper -complex and unnecessary regulations. This has nothing to do with Flock cameras and similar tech.
It's the local communities who decide to install them in order to reduce crime (a goal undoubtedly achieved), not the police or 'the government'. There is no nefarious grand plan. It's also the local communities who decide how the data is used and for how long it's retained. In many places they keep it for 72 hours or a week, and can change it to whatever they like.
Flock simply collects data and puts it in a database, following the rules established by their customers.

The nefarious plan is to make money from the data they collect using public resources and public funding. They should be paying for collecting the data and it should require a warrant to access.

People are not against law enforcement using them, exactly the opposite - they feel safe. The article itself says "new contracts outpace cancellations by around 10 to one", and the vast majority of the 'cancellations' are merely expired contracts.

This whole Flock thing is a nothingburger.
Everything about cancellations, outrage, backlash blah blah blah is entirely made up.The acts of a handful of loony activists are presented as some sort of a nationwide revolt. It's an attempt to make it happen by gaslighting the public it's already happening everywhere .. meanwhile people keep installing the cameras to keep their communities safe.

You feel safer when the government watches you? Can they put a camera in your house? I mean you aren't doing anything bad right? Just to make you feel safe...

Don't be ridiculous, these cameras are installed by the local communities because they want them, not by "the government".
The decisions about installation, what to do with the information, for how long to keep it etc. are all local, "the government" is not involved in any way.

No, they are installed by the local government. Not by the community. Nobody asked the people.
The information is used without restrictions. Any "rules" are bypassed without any real oversight. Why is it OK to use them without a warrant from a judge?!?
