So I think there's a general feeling amongst the electorate,
I think this goes left, right, and center,
where we've seen just a skepticism of big tech
or this idea that the tech is making our lives necessarily
easier.
And I think flaw cameras are a part of that.
These cameras do practice surveillance largely
in an effort to try and identify crime or locate criminals.
But they have all sorts of problems,
one being sometimes they get false positives.
So we've had people get cited for crimes
when they weren't even in the area.
They also are rife with abuse.
We have the story, supposedly, of a law enforcement officer
who used flock to stalk a former partner of theirs.
So I think a lot of those concerns
are what are feeding people's disdain for these flock
cameras.
And also, the United States has a culture
of believing in privacy.
If you read the Constitution, a lot of it
is trying to protect these concepts of privacy.
And flock cameras are out there seemingly just
interrupting people's privacy.
And I think it's why you see such a backlash to them.
