There have been more than a dozen cases around the country where police use Flock to obsessively and illegally stalk people.

        Not everyone lives where they’re used.

        There’s no need for sarcasm.

          There’s a little bit of need. This is an article talking about the widespread abuse of the devices, someone descrubed the devices, saying “well i’ve never seen one” serves exactly zero good purpose

            Sounds like an opportunity to educate someone.

            Grow up.

        Seems like it’s a thing only in the US. Makes sense I’ve never seen them, since I’ve never been there.
