Wouldn't you be shocked to hear that police tracked one driver over 500 times?😳
This happened in the US - police used cameras from a company called Flock to track one man's vehicle 526 times💡
What are Flock Cameras?👀
Flock cameras are devices that read license plates and are often installed throughout cities.
Basically, they automatically check and record vehicles that pass by✨
Police use this data for criminal investigations and public safety, but...
Why was he tracked so many times?🤔
The man in question was just driving normally, but he appeared on the same cameras over 500 times, which is honestly surprising💭
He sued both Flock and the police for privacy violation.
The lawsuit argues that such detailed, continuous tracking shouldn't be allowed.
How does this affect our daily lives?🌸
While these surveillance systems have their benefits, many people find them a bit scary🥺
It feels like "you never know who's watching you or when"💬
If your movements were constantly recorded, it would make you uneasy, right? It also makes you wonder how much of this information reaches police and companies, and whether we have proper control over it🧠
To summarize...
- Flock cameras are surveillance devices that automatically read license plates
- US police tracked one man 526 times
- The man filed a lawsuit for privacy violation
- The balance between privacy and advancing surveillance technology is becoming an issue
Hearing news like this makes you realize that even convenient systems have hidden risks✨
It might make you more conscious in daily life about "how much are they really tracking?"😆

You can opt out of LexisNexis tracking, I'll share the link.

Privacy rules: microphones and cameras are always on, recording and communication are constant, everything connected to the internet is shared with the world.

If someone points a camera at private property, get naked first and then call the police.

Interesting article from Jalopnik, I thought journalism was already dead.
