There are a lot of crime monitor systems like Flock in cities and have been for years
I think Flock pushing out and trying to dragnet non-cities will be their undoing
No one really cares about NYC having crime monitors and doing preventative policing
yeah prety much
We'll see what happens, but I do think you'll get some random states that decide to outlaw them, probably ones where there are essentially none to begin with
and once that happens it becomes a more achievable thing elsewhere
it won't be a byproduct of this, but I also would be in favor of networked license plate reader limits/bans
no more than 10 license plate readers can operate in tandem, on a single network or be collated in the same database
play with the number, but that's how you limit "mass" surveillance, without trying to uninvent technology

There was a separate incident of this happening but I think it was a police officer and not a flock executive

Born in NJ, went back to Turkey with his family for some years, then came back to america
iirc
Replying to legorhin #jazardly ok, I thought people had been talking about denaturalization for him, but thats not a thing if he was born in the US
I mean, if he caused a constitutional crisis that made it so being american born was removed as a qualifier for citizenship if someone lives most of their developmental years out of the country... would be pretty funny

Moreso an employee, his boss, and his boss's boss cuz I'm pretty sure so many people need to confirm this before it's shown publicly lol
The guy probably just said “hey boss got that presentation done.” And they just went with it without even looking at it. It’s the government they don’t take any extra seconds to do anything more than they have to
nah, that's too efficient
like Kribbles said, there were probably a huge number of do-nothings that all had to review and sign off on this
State Dep is also one of those funny organizations, where if you are competent at all, you work overseas in an embassy (the whole point of the org)
if you're DC-based, you are a fuckup of a magnitude that would shock people
or you're brand new, since I think your first 1-2 year rotational is training in one of the State Dep. Annexes
you also get a cool different colored passport
though you get that too right Kribbles
yours is red?
yes, red
ok, the new red is actually pretty brown and depressing
idk when they changed it
it's actually really hard to find pics of all the different colors together
nice
I hope they kept your old one to return to you
and its all piss-stained or w/e they did to it in the Navy
Commie chink shitholes, or fancy island tax havens
https://citizenx.com this was one of them
oh, yeah I've seen those sorta sites
gratz, the algorithm thinks you're rich
