Citizens sometime commit crime. The Police justify indiscriminate gathering of evidence preemptively against all citizens using Flock based on the rationale that when a crime does end up being committed, the evidence will already be gathered.

Well, guess what? Police also commit crime. The same justification applies. If Flock is justified, this is justified.

In fantasy land maybe, in reality power determines justification.

Even taking the imbalance of guns and armor into account, citizens have more power, if they just realize it.

Millions against, what, a couple hundred thousands?

It's just that nobody wants to be the cannon fodder at the front that gets mowed down before the millions trample the thousands..

uoaei•24m ago
Well, no. Your statement is isomorphic to "might makes right".

Power determines rationalization. Justification is a moral question.

In fantasy land maybe, reality is more complex than can be summed up in a barroom cliché.

Every law that lets police and politicians spy on citizens should have a corollary that lets citizens spy on police and politicians.

I've often thought about a number plate reading dashcam app for citizens that would warn you of dangerous drivers around you, let people flag the cars they want to call out. Moderation would be a nightmare though, but I thought you could have to submit some sort of proof (recorded from. The dashcam) but that just increases the moderation overhead... Of course AI could be help and hinder.
razster•18m ago
You could allow the user to flag it and keep the alerts to only them. They would get the alert, they could add notes of what happened so when that plate shows again they will know. Maybe build it so that you can add friends to a group and share plate details. It's GOLD Jerry!

But yeah moderation would be a nightmare still - I could see a ton of ways to abuse this. Criminals will figure it out as a source to track individuals, placing themselves in their known travel path, setup satellite spots to alert, that way for example if they're casing the joint they could have alerts when then individual is coming back.

Great, now ppl are going to make this app and use it for bad, see what you did.

Yeah you can’t even trust video any more, I’m not sure if there’s anything you can do with people who want to game the system.
