I’m outside the US and have only vaguely been following the Flock camera epidemic. What’s the threat here exactly? That Flock will have record of where you work? Or that they’ll have photos of your face or vehicle? Are you on LinkedIn? Props to you if you aren’t, but if you are, anyone can already see where you work, what you look like, and make an educated guess as to your start and finish times. For what it’s worth I wouldn’t like my workplace putting them up either.

To be clear, they record everything. Your gait, to be matched against footage where your face is not visible in the future. Tattoos and scars. What you wear. Which direction you come from. Who you talk to. Which days you drink what brand of coffee. Literally every bit of data they can siphon off they will. And then they sell that data. Not just to building security, but to local police, to non-local police, to government agencies, to private companies, to whoever wants it. And you'd think it would require a warrant, but no. Everywhere differs, but most jurisdictions just require "an active case", if even that.
