Wonder how many low level Lowes or Home Depot asset protection employees would also happily hand their credentials over for nationwide search access, too.
And a great big poisonous tree for anything that comes from the data. But it’s not like the Americans have been following the rules when deporting people anyways.
I’m less surprised that such things are happening (much worse has been happening for over 20 years) than by the fact that many people seem to genuinely believe that voting, protesting, or calling some representative is going to get us out of this.
A rollback here and there only delays the inevitable. There has been no meaningful progress in individual rights in a Western country in at least 30 years.
I'd assume that the Plutocrats, their loyal politicians, and the Creep State have worked very hard to convince people to "fight back" with ineffectual tactics.
Which is not to say that voting can't be extremely effective, if organized at suitable scales over time. Trump wasn't re-elected because all the swing voters who'd replaced him with Biden in '20 were overjoyed with how Joe and his Dem's had handled things.
Is this any different, legally, than sharing your Netflix login etc?
Because the data is purchased, most jurisdictions don't require a warrant. The only legal issue I can see currently is that Flock lost revenue from having another subscriber.
What if sharing of Netflix passwords could lead to bodily harm or an “illegal” activity that wouldn’t hold up in court? Probably the one sharing Netflix password wouldn’t remain unscathed, legally speaking?
Wait, this system is standard SaaS and they can sign in from anywhere, not locked to particular department devices? That's crazy.
Honestly I’m not even surprised.
> He said every search was related to his federal law enforcement work and denied using the system for personal reasons.
Assuming that’s true, why wouldn’t he have his own flock account to do his searches?
Because for all their faults Flock dose not give ICE access to state owned cameras.

Is this not cybercrime and illegal surveillance?
ICE are basically above the law. They're routinely ignoring court orders: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...

Because… it is? Numerous states have banned flock style cameras as a result of the protests.

I am not a lawyer, just curious.
If your work gives you access to an Anthropic account, can you give it to your spouse just because they also happen to be a programmer?
Sure why not? Anthropic may be unhappy about potential lost customer, but if I had extra inference, I don't see anything wrong with this.
