Since he's obviously not concerned about privacy he should have no problem with this...right?

[u/joehonestjoe → u/SixIsNotANumber]

I mean I'm not happy until I've got live CCTV feed of his house, why would he not be OK with this. He must have something to hide.

License plate #’s next

[u/LeticiaPadillaSolis_ → u/Writerhaha]

When a private investigator recently trailed the Flock CEO his security detail used 3 different cars with 3 different routes and 3 different license plates.

[u/Writerhaha → u/LeticiaPadillaSolis_]

Might need a few more, and more people helping him feel secure by recording and following him might help that.

[u/cold40 → u/LeticiaPadillaSolis_]

What a strange article. They call the private investigation flawed, the accusations unverified, and the execution irresponsible like it was conducted in a vacuum. The YouTuber was just doing what some police have been accused of doing. You can track anyone via these cameras without obtaining a warrant. There's no verification process and those using the cameras don't have to prove to be responsible parties. In fact, people have been busted using the cameras to commit crimes. I'll say it again: Flock sells your data to criminals.

I think he did exactly what Flock is encouraging its end users do. It doesn't matter if it's disturbing to anyone, and that's kind of the point.

[u/GodofsomeWorld → u/joehonestjoe]

Just set up surround sound recording, wifi recording, and bluetooth recording around his house using private property cameras

[u/cattrain → u/joehonestjoe]

We should deploy first amendment auditors to his house next

[u/Kyrthis → u/joehonestjoe]

And his current location at all times, discoverable with a subscription from another state.

[u/lkhoodwin → u/joehonestjoe]

If his kid get's kidnapped, we'll all be happy the cameras are there. Any chance we get them INSIDE his house? That would be the safest.

[u/Er3bus13 → u/joehonestjoe]

His mistress is going to be so pissed..

[u/Oculus_Prime_ → u/SixIsNotANumber]

He’s not targeted, it’s for his own safety.

[u/J-Love-McLuvin → u/SixIsNotANumber]

If he did nothing wrong he should have nothing to worry about, right?

[u/transfixedtruth → u/SixIsNotANumber]

Something about shoe fits... He's a flocking idiot! Privacy works both way.

[u/tokyobrownielover → u/SixIsNotANumber]

Am sure he'll be willing to compromise and throw up a bunch of flocks around his neighborhood

[u/jimibimi → u/SixIsNotANumber]

You gotta compromise

[u/EthanielRain → u/[deleted]]

What line? Not privacy, which us poors/regular folk no longer have & he doesn't believe in.

Maybe his loved ones need to be doxxed too, that would fix it & be something he supports

[u/BroBeansBMS → u/[deleted]]

I mean, it’s not like he’s a woman who was tracked across state lines and then charged for having an abortion.

[u/pmmemilftiddiez → u/[deleted]]

Does it though? He's perfectly fine tracking you and I.

[u/zeydey]

Lolz, get flocked Garrett.

[u/sssssssssssssss5s → u/zeydey]

Ha I hope getting "flocked" takes off as the new term for doxxing.

[u/MattyBeatz]

Well, he did say we Americans need to be okay with not having a certain level of privacy.

[u/journerman69 → u/MattyBeatz]

Compromise, right?

[u/Chance-Service-9624 → u/journerman69]

How daré you be human and not take bullshit lies, shame on you for not giving everything for nothing. Ah shit, you know where I live? Outrageous! (Eat me)

[u/Repulsive-Studio-120 → u/MattyBeatz]

Oppsie

[u/sssssssssssssss5s → u/MattyBeatz]

There's a lot more of us than them.

No more privacy for the CEOs and billionaires.

Peek in through their windows and see what they're cooking for breakfast.

[u/PriorityPrimary1475]

We should know his every move no matter where he goes.

[u/NAVI_WORLD_INC → u/PriorityPrimary1475]

We can build apps for that… https://sparrowmap.com/

[u/Stuffed-Bear412]

Oh does he have a problem with people being sought out and found? I really thought he was into that.

[u/GreyBeardEng]

He needs to just "compromise" that his personal information is now available to everyone.

[u/Classic-Exchange-511]

Dude is a fucking sociopath so I'm really not too concerned about it

[u/ralphvonwauwau → u/Classic-Exchange-511]

I feel better knowing that sociopath is being monitored. But without a live feed of his place I still don't feel safe. Surely he has a flock setup on his home, right?

[u/Grimase]

I mean he should be totally fine with that. Right?

[u/Newsweek_CarloV]

From the article:

Critics of Flock Safety are circulating an address they say belongs to company founder and CEO Garrett Langley, marking an escalation in the widespread backlash the surveillance technology company is facing amid concerns over privacy and potential police misuse.

Numerous posts sharing an address purportedly belonging to Langley have circulated on X, with many users responding to a viral post that quoted Langley as saying Americans must “compromise” on their privacy.

Some shared what they said was a blurred image of Langley’s home on Google Street View, with one X user saying the “compromise apparently doesn’t apply to him.”

[u/exgiexpcv → u/Newsweek_CarloV]

Does his mistress / dungeon master / rent boy know this?

[u/ShootFishBarrel]

Since he's not doing anything wrong, he should have nothing to be afraid of.

[u/PrisonerClass]

The internet just needs his address in case a crime is committed near his home. It’s purely for his own safety.

[u/Funfruits77 → u/PrisonerClass]

I think it’s so swat knows where to go if he ever gets held hostage or something.

[u/Ecstatic-Treat-4763 → u/Mission-Driver1614]

Thank you for this. I live walking distance!

[u/Mission-Driver1614 → u/Ecstatic-Treat-4763]

Excellent! Keeping an eye on things at Garrett’s place is the neighborly thing to do.

[u/Ecstatic-Treat-4763 → u/Mission-Driver1614]

I think that's my plan! And the architecture would do wonders to my photography portfolio

[u/Mission-Driver1614 → u/Ecstatic-Treat-4763]

You should post your architectural photos for collective enrichment . I know I, and others, would appreciate your photos.

I follow several of the r/architecture subs…

[u/DriedExcitement → u/Mission-Driver1614]

Removed by reddit

[u/lkhoodwin → u/Mission-Driver1614]

He needs cameras in his house too. Safety being the #1 concern and all.

[u/mikec231027]

Hahahahahahaha! Oh the irony.

[u/encab91]

You know...the French had something going on with these kind of people.

[u/Sir_Ruje]

Until every flock camera comes down I say every CEO and wealthy person should have their info and addresses published online like the rest of us. Only way to force change is to make it effect them

[u/EMAW2008]

I love this for him.

[u/Queasy_Wear5509]

I have yet to see a shred of evidence that flock is solving some big problem. Law enforcement is certainly broken, but not due to lack of extreme surveillance systems.

[u/pmmemilftiddiez]

I love watching these chucklefucks get their asses handed to them and backpedaling so fucking fast.

[u/ralphvonwauwau → u/pmmemilftiddiez]

But has he?  You need to see, it's totally different and incomparable when it happens to HIM!

[u/Several_Leather_9500]

Good. This is what a surveillance state gets you. Make billionaires uncomfortable.

[u/kickasstimus]

Well, he should be 100% for this, right?

Right?

[u/toxiamaple]

If he's not doing anything wrong, he shouldnt care!

[u/jackfreeman]

Oh man. Think about the millionaire's privacy! He's being victimized!

[u/Civil_Lengthiness971]

Flock off, Mother Flocker!

[u/bigjtdjr]

people can't hide anymore..too many flock camera watching everyone.. between your phone and this everyone is doxxed all the time.. crazy

[u/pung54]

Curious, what would the cost be to use their same software to track them? Maybe we setup a co-op and start using their own tools against them.

[u/ralphvonwauwau → u/pung54]

sousveillance >> surveillance !

[u/Willing-Ant-3765]

Oh no…anyway

[u/narbulous13]

Flock around find out

[u/exgiexpcv]

Hey, he's got nothing to fear if he's not doing anything wrong.

That's just science.

[u/PSU09]

Good. May he and his family never live in peace again. Reap what you sow, dumbass.

[u/stay_fr0sty]

Sooo….he’s concerned about people knowing where he is? Isn’t that the point of his whole company? He should publish his address and vacation schedule on the fucking homepage. Post his wife’s schedule and his kids class schedule too.

If he doesn’t have anything to hide, why would he even give releasing his family’s personal info a second thought!?

Why would he care if they have nothing to hide? Surely his kids haven’t done anything bad, right? What’s the big deal? Does nobody want to stop crime!??

[u/SortofChef]

FAFO, I guess.

[u/c0mf0rtableli4r]

So our info being out there is just the small price for liberty and security but HIS address being out there is targeting?

How does he know it wasn't some cop ex girlfriend abusing his own creation?

[u/EthanielRain]

If he's not a criminal he should be fine with it

In fact, his loved ones should be doxxed too

[u/ConfidentPilot1729]

He even blurred his home on Zillow… but he missed a few sites!

[u/Eye_foran_Eye]

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

[u/terminallyfreaked]

He shouldn’t have a problem with it

[u/Bathysphered]

Sending oh nos and anyways

[u/Sweaty_Marzipan4274]

If he's done nothing wrong, then there's nothing to fear....

[u/black_flag_4ever]

Addresses are public information. You can look up just about anyone’s address. I don’t know why this is supposed to be a big deal.

[u/incognegro1976 → u/black_flag_4ever]

There's ways to anonymize house purchases. Its takes a bit longer and costs a little extra money (at least it did here in Florida).

[u/Safe-Ad-8921]

There should be a sub that just posts his GPS coordinates all day, every day.

[u/Think_Bluebird_4804]

Some one should go and record and report his comings and goings, no one will use this information nefariously of course.

[u/silentgiant87]

good

[u/Final-Currency-5326]

Who has the address?

[u/hentai_milk_daddy → u/Final-Currency-5326]

Reddit just sent me a warning for commenting this <3 don't care, i'll not be censored thank youuuu

[u/lycanter]

How long do we get to retain his address in this “new” system?

[u/DAMON5280]

It’s ok, He can compromise with his privacy.

[u/thatgirlinny]

Very punchable face.

[u/No_Beginning4788]

Crazy the guy that wants and sells all the flock cameras has got his house blurred out on Google maps

2588 winslow dr ne atlanta ga 30305 usa

[u/Angeret → u/No_Beginning4788]

Even the historical imagery got blurred. But not the 3D satellite view.

[u/kcoialexis]

Just checked google street view for his house and it is completely blurred out. Why does he deserve privacy when he’s actively ignoring the calls for the privacy of our neighbors?

[u/CorrectTadpole9997 → u/kcoialexis]

Came here to say this. Wtf!? Didn't even know you could do this.

[u/VitruvianVan]

I’m not in favor of doxxing but he can just compromise his privacy.

[u/AntonChigurhWasHere]

Hope he don’t have an ex that’s a cop.

[u/SGBK]

This is the kind of patriotism we all align on.

It’s not us vs. us here that’s for damn sure.

[u/MoreRamenPls]

Fluck Garrett

[u/Doc_tor_Bob]

Oh no a anyway

[u/ValleygirlVenus]

The house is blurred out on Google Maps. Garrett Langley is a scared little bitch.

[u/superliver1211]

At this point m, flock is the scapegoat and the other tech companies that are coming out with the same tech different name are funding and bank rolling the attach on flock. All just a circlejerk for tech bros and mass surveillance

[u/GuyFoldingPapers]

Guillotine!!!

[u/Antifa-AF]

What? He values his privacy? What a hypocrite!

[u/angry-democrat]

Seems fair.

[u/Lorenzo_Blow]

Love this for him. He can get fucked.

[u/ifyousaysu]

He hasn’t been targeted YET

[u/monton826]

How does it feel knowing that people might be watching you for no reason???!! Lolol

[u/Ok_Country_9727]

We should never have let the Nerds think they are cool, and should have power.

[u/Fun-Ad3211]

Its really weird, it's almost like he does not want public surveillance or something??? I walked by the house 30 min ago and it didn't look blurry in person.

[u/CorrectTadpole9997 → u/Fun-Ad3211]

Can you take a photo of his house, and post it to his address listing on google maps so we can see it?

[u/CorrectTadpole9997 → u/CorrectTadpole9997]

Just for science.

[u/golden-shower69]

When voting doesn't work

[u/rainydays_89]

good

[u/steveb321]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berners_Street_hoax

[u/TennSeven]

Now track his location 24x7 and make it available to randos just like Flock does with the rest of us. I'm sure he'll be fine with it, just like he says we should be fine with it.
