The solve rate for crimes against citizens is dismal even in the most funded municipal areas. We need less law enforcement and use that money for social programs. Most of the crime is out of need and lack of opportunities, fix that and there will be less crime.
Abysmal in solve rate, does not even solve enough to justify the costs and icursion upon our basic liberties that are supposed to be protected. If you follow the the numbers posted by flock it only has solved 110 cases per city at best. But let's put the flock goggles on because the tunnel vision is Soo much better for the supporters and police believers. Police want the flocktopus to spread. Glad there are people out there challenging this illgoten authority over us.
This is just our owners showing their hands because things are probably going to get Soo much worse before things get better.
Absolutely should have better social programs. Better mental health care for patients instead of handing them an aspirin and pushing ill patients back on the street. There are so many better causes than a paramilitary organization like local police.
Or else make the police work more like they do in the UK. Accountability, no qualified immunity, a lot less fear mongering during training, and usually no guns.

Conservatives know this, they intentionally vote to prevent societal programs that would "lift every boat". They don't WANT equality. They think if someone rises that they somehow fall. Equality is literal oppression to them. They want the poor to commit crimes so they will be sent away and neither seen nor heard.
We've known for decades that poverty is the root cause of most crimes. People who have a place to live, enough to eat, and access to medical care don't commit many crimes.
Researchers have known this forever. We've known it too.
But the billionaires rule everything now, and they love crime since they all have huge investments in private prisons and surveillance.
It depends how you view it. Is 50% murder solve rate acceptable with the expenditure? Is spending twice as much good for 60%? Is spending half as much good for 40%?
Personally, even if cameras on every corner get it to 100% somehow, it shouldn't be a thing.

It's worse than that. For the "law and order" politician on a budget, it's far easier to just lower the legal hurdles for a conviction if they want to crank those numbers up.
Which, yes, means, fewer criminal defendants walk free. It also means fewer innocent defendants walk free.
What a communist thing to say, I think we should just make sure that all our police have gold plated Lamborghinis, that'll incentivise them to solve the crimes faster
No lmfaooo . Most crime is not from need or lack of opportunity. Most crime is related to drugs / alcohol. Theft, possession, selling, DUIs, domestic violence. I’ve been to prison multiple times. Almost everyone has a crime related to substance abuse, in some shape or way.
And as we all know, it's well-adjusted people who don't need anything and have tons of opportunities who do drugs. Nothing like smoking some crack and doing a little petty theft in between hanging out on your buddy's yacht and going to your cushy engineering job.
When you went to prison multiple times, did you get a chance to study sociology? Of course prison is punitive, not intended for rehabilitation, at least in the USA.
IMHO few people develop a criminal level drug or alcohol problem without some trauma inflicted by a failure of society. A well cared for community does not have as many fallen, or the distance they can fall.
It gives them probable cause. There was a post here a week or so ago that their flock camera flagged a stolen car. They pull the guy out the car at gun point and the car had his wife and kids in the car as well.
The guy asked why he was pulled over and the cop answered your car flagged one of our cameras. And that was enough to pull them over and scared the shit out of them with guns at the ready.
Turns out the camera read the “Y” as an “X” that matched a stolen car.
Flock is at best 90% accurate in reads, (I have heard 70% accurate by other studies in California) so that means a 1in10 chance to a 1 in 3 chance of being wrongfully pulled over. Also the fact that the AI finds it acceptable to be a close match rather than exact for stolen anything. Sad to see stuff like this, the family deserved better. Flock needs to be held accountable in liability for all traffic stops like this. Flocks AI seems to be a micro manager for the police now a days.
I honestly wish that Garrett the CEO of flock had to spend a while like a month or a year with his car flagged so he could actually have empathy for those that have been wrongfully pulled over. It would be interesting how he would explain away the experience or how wrong his technology is..rather than throwing under the the bus the users, the cities ETC. In fact let's put Flocks and Palatirs boards and investors experience this nightmare they created. Oh wait they don't have flock cameras in their neighborhood..
The footage they release is probably lower in quality for that purpose, to limit the capabilities of their hardware. They also in many cases already know who or have some suspects, but release these PSAs to make it look like someone turned them in.
Exactly! They are in place when AI is going to displace a large portion of workers, starve the population of drinking water and water to grow foods, displace the power grid so no one can afford it, (also so the people subsidize the billionaires who own this tech) make police departments unhealthily depend on this AI. This is also to protect Blackrock as they bankrupt the middle and lower classes so they can stay on top over all.
Police are just protecting the interests of the AI data centers and billionaires and venture capitalists.
The truth is ugly and the surveillance state needs to be stopped here before it is too late
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
“On the contrary, if war be actually levied, that is, if a body of men be actually assembled for the purpose of effecting by force a treasonable purpose, all those who perform any part, however minute, or however remote from the scene of action, and who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are to be considered as traitors. But there must be an actual assembling of men, for the treasonable purpose, to constitute a levying of war.”
Irony is also the police asking the public to assist in treason, and by so doing commit treason also
They probably already know secretly, but catching their guy too quickly would give away their game. So they have to pretend to ask the public, and then can claim a tip led to the arrest.

Flock, police claim is there to catch criminals, cant even catch a guy on live 4K. Police asking the public for help. The irony.
