The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

    We had a compromise. It’s called the bill of rights. Goes like this:

    1. I’ll say what I fucking want and associate with who I fucking please.
    2. I’ll fucking shoot you if you get in the way.
    3. You stay rhe fuck out of my house.
    4. Did you fucking hear me? STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE. AND LEAVE MY SHIT ALONE.
    5. You’re not the fucking boss of me. My crew will tell me when I’m out of line.
    6. I’m fucking going home when I please, no matter what you say I did.
    7. If you think I owe you, I don’t unless my crew fucking says so.
    8. Don’t fuck with me about shit that doesn’t deserve it.
    9. Just because I didn’t say it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t back the fuck off. Use your goddamn brain.
    10. You don’t get to make up shit and say you’re in charge of it. My house. My rules.

    *We didn’t invent police abuse! We actually shined a light on it and pointed it out"

    Fuck right the hell off with this shit. You don’t get to sell your panopticon to a group that routinely abuses every tool they have, and feign ignorance in defense of the results.

      The fact that it improves safety is a claim that can easily be challenged as recently it seems to have put people in harms way. Texas police used it to stalk a woman across state lines to find out if she got an abortion elsewhere.

      I’d add to that, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

    Safety? They constantly put innocent victims at risk by misidentifying them as the criminals!!!

    Odd description of ‘safety’

    Yeah, no, the interpretations of the 4th amendment that led to these things being legal were clearly made in an era where they relied on the high cost of surveillance to minimize the amount there is. A reasonable modern day interpretation of the 4th should ban these

      Agree except the framing is imprecise: he must refund stolen taxpayer assets due to misrepresentation, corruption under RICO, and fraud. He must go back to zero and and TAKE THE BUS to his next job
