“Backers of the technology say it helps solve crimes”

Should be easy to list the crimes it’s solved, where’s that list?

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Back up to even having that be a point. We could solve a lot of crimes if everyone's phone reported our location and recorded our voices for the police. We could solve a lot of crimes if the cops put cams in everyone's house. Why don't we do this? The constitution. I don't care of Flock solves 100k crimes a year, it's unconstitutional so it's not an option.
