The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

I agree, a good compromise would be life imprisonment for the CEO and every investor.

Just as a good to know, if feces (especially of unknown origin) are involved in a cleanup and restoration project, it becomes a biohazard and requires additional time and resources.

My privacy and freedom are invaluable to me, I don't give 2 shits about some CEOs profits. He can go rot in a ditch for all I care.

Fuck you, Garrett.

It's not a matter of privacy or safety. It's a matter of how does this technology benefit me? So far, that's none at all. I live in a place of low crime, so it's ability to keep me safer is minor if at all. Police abuse it and the upper classes seem safe from it. I do not see any benefit in it's current form. Lock it down behind court orders without general police/organizational access and maybe? But I'll still vote against it...

Well, since you care less than zero about our safety, Langley, there will be no compromise.

"I'm being paid to fuck you all " now modified to "why can't we all just get along"

There is no compromise. Garret, You will be lucky to be alive here in a few months. The only thing you can do is beg and grovel and give back every penny you and your company earned back to the American people and in addition, take down every flock camera. And to employees of this company, run and Publicly denounce them so you have a CHANCE to be hired anywhere again.

Work with evil, die with evil.

The torchwielding villagers are not interested in compromise.
