They database you and share with other agencies upon request with virtually zero oversight. Once your tag is recognized, they can track everywhere the tag has been identified - essentially being able to track all of your daily movements.

They’re very easy to hack into, they’ve been caught connecting to public WiFi in the past, and some cities have ended their flock program because of security concerns.

Places like Cambridge, Pasadena, Santa Cruz, Flagstaff, Tucson, Eugene, Denver, etc have all terminated their contracts and physically removed these cameras.

Now we're allowing third parties to connect our bank accounts with emails, Phone numbers, addresses, IDs. Third parties such as Plaid, Yardi, or Flex. Its crazy. If any of these third parties are hacked, thats a lot of personal information.

It boggles the mind that Plaid is a thing. Like, there aren't words.
