Reply to comment by KardTrick in I Would Love to Have Enough Time and Money to Go to an Office to Work All Day - Perhaps Steven Rattner and the executives complaining to him about their remote employees could lend me a hand (or $50,000 more a year). by speckz

No wonder they let Steve write the garbage opinion piece at the New York Times. He got his start there in his career and was their Chief Washington Economic correspondent.

I could go on and on about why I think the NYT author Steven Rattner is wrong but I will boil it all down to this. He's an ass.

I never said hotlists.

HOAs have access to all the license plates for their system and can search for a specific plate in the system. They can absolutely track any license plate (while not automatically) at any time

This is direct form their neighborhood/HOA portion of their site.

“Easy Search When you’re faced with package theft, illegal dumping, or property damage, you don’t have time to sift through hours of camera footage for evidence. Minimize time spent manually sifting through footage for niche vehicle features. Flock Safety’s search is as easy to use as your favorite online retailer with dynamic filters that optimizes ease-of-use and produces faster results.”

“Over 200 HOAs nationwide have bought and installed….”

Absolute bullocks right there. Add a few zeros. I’ve seen probably more than 200 HOAs/neighborhoods with this abomination of a company all over neighborhoods in the metro area I live in. Intercept might want to “investigate” again.

I’ve been complaining about this shit company for years and 99 out of 100 people I talk to “don’t care because they have nothing to hide”

It should 100% be illegal for anyone except governments to have access to this. I dislike governments having access but I know that is just a given at this point they would have it.

HOAs (and funny any individual can buy Flock) should not have the ability to track people, setup tracking of certain plates, etc.

I so hope this company eventually goes bankrupt (but sadly I know they won’t)

Reply to The UK is banning TikTok on government devices — joining the US, Canada, and the EU — despite a charm offensive dubbed 'Project Clover,' report says by chrisdh79

Do government devices have absolutely zero MDM solutions or other safeguards that these laws have to be passed?

Corporate owned/government owned devices should have specific policies that only allow certain items on said devices. It’s amazing that they require these laws as this SHOULD be a common requirement from the get go
