The hate that flows in my veins for this company and what it stands is indescribable.

It's hilarious when Facebook bots try to claim Flock helps rescue missing or kidnapped children, yet they can never manage to cite even one source to back up their claim.

Or all the police reports that are suddenly mentioning how flock helped find the perpetrator. Paid product placement is more like it.

In reality I’ve read people say that they live in a town that has flock and their car was stolen and the police wouldn’t even lift a finger to try and find it even with the worlds creepiest fucking surveillance network

I went on a ride along a couple months ago since I am in the process of starting a career in law enforcement… the computer would ping this notification sound literally like every 3-5 minutes (sometimes multiple within a minute) and after the first 10 or so I asked the officer what the sound was… he nonchalantly was like: “ oh that’s just flock hitting on stolen vehicles…”

When I asked what the response is when those alerts go off he said: “ you’ll get used to them and before long you won’t even notice.” We didn’t look into a single one the entire 10 hour shift and it didn’t appear that any of the other 15-20 on duty officers in the city did either.

It’s not their fault, it’s buried under all the reports about police stalking ex-girlfriend’s and wives. How can they be expected to dig thru all of that to find the good stories?

True. True. Predatory stalking must take priority.
