Flock surveillance cameras are spreading to golf courses and shooting ranges
Privacy is taking a hit as automated license-plate and tracking cameras from Flock keep popping up in places with no obvious crime problem, like golf courses and gun ranges.
- Flock's camera network is expanding far beyond roads and parking lots into everyday spots where people just golf or practice shooting.
- The concern is that the cameras are being used to follow and stalk ordinary people, not catch criminals.
- The pushback isn't anti-police: the argument is that cops should get real tools to chase actual criminals, not blanket surveillance on everyone.
- Cameras "in every corner" turn normal activities into tracked events, raising the risk of abuse.
Outlook: Expect more backlash and calls to limit where these cameras can go as the network keeps growing.
