Mountain View officials allege federal, state agencies accessed Flock camera data without consent

omg i cant believe this ... like how cannt they even use a simple setting right? it just shows how easy it is for bad people (or government agencies ) to get into our data without us knowing . and the thing is, its not just about fixing the technical glitch, its about the whole system being secure in the first place . i mean, what if someone gets access to all our license plate pics? thats just too much for me . i think we need way more transparency from these camera companies and governments . they need to be held accountable for protecting our data

I'm getting so anxious about this whole Flock camera system thing . It's like, I get it, they're trying to keep our streets safe and all, but come on! They're using cameras that can take pics of our plates without even asking us permission . And now we find out that some federal agencies were just hacking into the system without even getting permission from Mountain View? That's just not right .

I mean, Cat Brooks makes a valid point when she says there should be stricter safeguards in place to protect our data . It's not like this is a new issue, either - we've been hearing about surveillance and data protection concerns for ages .

The thing that really gets me is that the city just changed the settings to prevent future unauthorized access . Like, it should have done that in the first place! This whole incident is just another example of why we need more transparency and accountability when it comes to these systems .

I'm really concerned about this ... I mean, who wants their license plate info just flying around to the feds without consent? It's like, you'd think a company like Flock Safety would have some sort of super strict data protection measures in place... but it sounds like they kinda messed up big time . I'm not surprised that critics are calling for stricter safeguards though - we need to make sure our personal info is protected from people who might misuse it, especially if they're just looking to sweep up random data .

idk how shocking this news is like anyone thought a license plate reader cam would be completely secure? flocks safety needs to get their tech together and make sure they're not just enabling a nationwide search setting without even asking the cops if it's cool this city is actually doing the right thing by changing the camera settings, kudos to 'em and yeah cat brooks makes some valid points, gotta have stricter safeguards in place for our data
