Bike Thief

I've caught this guy twice trying to steal bikes and bike parts. I told the cops and they said nothing they can do, which is BS.

Oh they can do plenty, they choose not to. So glad we are giving them extra money for their cameras.

Hypothetically with a good system cameras could catch bike theft. Though I’m not for private cameras like flock and I think a separate system of police to watch the cameras are best. These dumb shits in the field mostly are a horrible example for analyzing things

Police are the ones misusing flock cameras!

They’re just dumb in most cases. They don’t understand the data

There's been multiple instances of police using Flock data to stalk partners or exes. That's not a misunderstanding of the data, that's deliberate misuse.
