In our tests, we found the software running on the camera explicitly detects people, something typically overlooked in discussions around Flock cameras. When it spots a person, it records where they appear in the image and how confident it is in the detection. www.404media.co/hackers-stol...

Cops are putting gibberish, jokes, or other nonsense into Flock’s “reason” box, highlighting the casualness and lack of care some cops have when searching an incredibly powerful surveillance system. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. Read now: www.404media.co/cops-search-...
