'END OF FREEDOM': Flock cameras spark FIERCE backlash nationwide

MANY AMERICANS NOW FED UP WITH LICENSE PLATE READING CAMERAS. CLAIMING IT VIOLATES THEIR PRIVACY. SOME ARE TARGET AND DAMAGING THE CAMERAS A. LOOK AT. THAT ONE PROTESTER EMING TO FOX WHY HE HAD ENOUGH. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHERE I GO AND WHEN I GO. THAT'S MY BUSINESS. NOT ANYONE ELSE'S. IF YOU TAKE THAT AWAY FROM US, THAT IS THE END OF OUR FREEDOM. AND ONE SHERIFF IN CALIFORNIA SAYS THE VANDALISM MAY HURT INVESTIGATIONS. THESE LICENSE PLATE READERS, THESE SYSTEMS, CAN TURN A VEHICLE DESCRIPTION AN INVESTIGATIVE LEAD LIKE WHEN A CHILD IS MISSING, A VIOLENT SUSPECT IS FLEEING OR SOMEONE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A HIT-AND-RUN, MINUTES MATTER. THERE ARE SOME 6,000 COMMUNITIES USING FLOCK CAMERAS. FLOCK SAFETY SAYS THEY HELP SOLVE 10,000 CRIMES A WEEK. LISA, I DON'T KNOW WHERE LISA IS GOING TO COME DOWN ON THIS BUT I WANT TO KNOW. I APPRECIATE THAT. I ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU STAND ON THING. SO SMART. THANKS. I SHARE THE CONCERNS OF THAT MAN WE JUST HEARD. WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN HOW SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS ORIGINALLY CRATE CREATED TO KEEP AMERICANS SAFE ARE ABUSED. WE SAW THAT AFTER 9/11. AND WE SEE THE CONCLUSION IT CAN LEAD TO IN CHINA. CAMERA NICE WIDE, A.I., GOVERNMENT DATA BASES. YOU KNOW THE GOVERNMENT IS SPYING ON THEM AND USING THAT DATA AND INFORMATION TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEIR PEOPLE ARE GOING AND ALSO FOR SOCIAL CREDIT SCORES. NOW WE CAN SAY, OK WE LIVE IN AMERICA. WE HAVE GOT THE CONSTITUTION, FOURTH AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES BUT LOOK AT THE DIRECTION THAT THE D.S.A. PEOPLE WANT TO TAKE US IN THAT WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING. THEY WANT TO BLOW IT UP. THEY WANT TO GET RID OF THE SUPREME COURT AND BALANCES THAT WE HAVE IN AMERICA TO KEEP GOVERNMENT IN CHECK. SO THAT MIGHT NOT BE FOREVER. I DO THINK THAT THE CONCERNS BEING RACED HERE ARE VALID AND SHOULD BE LISTENED TO AND WEIGHED AGAINST OR SECURITY AS WELL. MARCUS YOU JUST THAT POSE AGAINST COVID AND IN LOCKDOWN IF YOU HAD AN ADMINISTRATION THEY WOULD USE CAMERAS TO SEE IF YOU ARE LOCKED DOWN. I DON'T MIND THE CAMERA SYSTEM IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE BUT THE INTEROPERABILITY THAT CONNECTS NETWORK AFTER NETWORK AND CAN NOW FOLLOW ME FROM ONE COUNTY TO THE NEXT, ONE STATETE TO TH NEXT. I WORRY AS WE TRY TO THINK ABOUT PROTECTING OUR PRIVACY, CAN COURTS SUBPOENA? CAN SEEM SUBPOENA YOUR WHEREABOUTS ON A CASE TOTALLY UNREMOVE LATED TO SPEEDING OR THE THINGS THE SHERIFF SAID. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE COVERED UNTIL CRIMINAL CASES TO BE LIKE IF ONLY THERE WAS VIDEO EVIDENCE, THIS WOULD BE SO EASY. SEE BOTH SIDES. IT IS VERY BRIG BROTHER. ERIC AND I WENT TO CHINA FOR THE VISIT, WE TALKED ABOUT HOW MANY CAMERAS WE SAW EVERYWHERE. SO IN YOUR FACE AND SO OBVIOUS. THEY ARE MAINTAINING EYES ON EVERYTHING IN CHINA. THEY WERE LOOKING AT YOU. PROBABLY LOOKING. PROBABLY. BUT I ALSO TEXTED AND PREPARED FOR THE SEGMENT A FRIEND OF OURS WHO WORKS FOR THE PALM BEACH SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND SAID WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS? I TRUST HIS OPINION. HE WAS THE INDIVIDUAL WHO ARRESTED RYAN ROOTH WHO WOW. TRIED TO ASSASSINATE THE PRESIDENT AT THE GOLF COURSE AND SAID HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE LICENSE PLATE READER, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO HIM. I KNEW HE WAS HEADED IN MY DIRECTION AND ALLOWED ME TO MAKE THAT DIRECTION. SO YOU CAN SEE BOTH SIDES OF THIS ARGUMENT. IN THE WRONG HANDS, THOUGH, TO YOUR POINT, IT IS VERY SCARY. I MANY HOUSE SOUNDS LIKE CHINA. AND NOW I FEEL VINDICATED GIVEN WHAT YOUR FRIEND SAID. YET IS UN? NY WITH THE NEW ALARM SYSTEM, THEY ANNOUNCE ANYONE. ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS SOUNDS LIKE A BIRD. ALWAYS TWEETING. SO I KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF IT. BECAUSE I IT IS A CROSS FROM PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN HAVE GONE MISISSING AND LESS THAN 4 HOURS. AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS TURN OUT AMAZINGLY AND SOME DON'T AND TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAYS THE REASON WRYE WHY THEY TURN OUT WELL IN LESS TIME. SOME OF THEM WORK OUT ON THEIR OWN AND THROUGH GREAT POLICE WORK BUT TECHNOLOGY MAKES AN IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE. THAT IS HARD TO IGNORE. AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE WATCHED FROM POINT-TO-POINT. I DON'T THINK THAT IS SAFE. YOU CAN CREATE CRIME LIKE THAT. WHO IS WATCHING THIS? NOT EVERYBODY WILL BE A GOOD GUY. JUST THINK ABOUT EVERYWHERE IN LIFE IS A MICROCOSM OF WHERE WE ARE NOW. CAN SAY, NO WE ONLY HIRE THE BEST PEOPLE. 10% ARE PROBABLY NOT THE BEST PEOPLE. SO WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN IT GETS INTO WRONG HANDS AND STALKING IS A REAL THING. I UNDEDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON' WANT TO GIVE UP THAT MUCH FREEDOM. MY HEART WENT OUT TO THAT GENTLEMEN TALKING TO THE REPORTER AT THE STOPLIGHT SAYING I DON'T WANT TO BE WATCHED SO I GET IT. THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT BALANCE LOOKS LIKE BUT WE NEED AN OPEN CONVERSATION. AS LONG AS IT IS NOT USED AS A WEAPON. IF THE ADMINISTRATION WAS DIFFERENT IT WOULD BE A WEAPON. I WORRY UNDER THIS CERTAIN ADMINISTRATION I DON'T WORRY. IF IT WAS UNDER A DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATION, D.S.A. AM I GOING TO BE TARGETED AND FOLLOWED? GO BACK TO THE
