I'm not thrilled, as some are, that #Flock images have been ruled public records.
As the article says, that means anybody can #FOIA Flock records ABOUT ANYONE.
So we're going from "the police can use Flock to spy on you" to "ANYONE can use Flock to spy on you."
The article says this will make people reconsider whether we want these cameras operating. (1) I doubt that'll come to anything, and (2) what about in the meantime?
This is quite dangerous.
