    Cops love them because they can abuse them and spy on people for no reason, as has happened quite alot already.

      Wait until Flock footage or data accidentally helps prove a cop guilty of a crime.

        Like the cop that used flock to stalk their ex, I believe putting “waffle” (or maybe it was “asdf”) as the reason for using them? Pretty sure they just said he did it because he was tired then got off Scott free.
