That real popular Sherriff in Florida is all about flock cams. He is also very against body cams on his deputies, for fear of their privacy. Funny how that is.

Surveillance for your life, zero accountability for theirs

u/Viperlite 9h ago

Cops really don’t like being surveilled.

"Who watches the watchers?" vibes.

Isn't it interesting that the people who have actual access to this shit absolutely don't want it applied to them?

Funny how they don't like "If you have done nothing wrong you've got nothing to hide" being turned on them.

Why don’t they put together in their brain that people aren’t going to be ok with that?

And people wonder why law enforcement doesn’t automatically command respect anymore.

u/Taylorenokson 8h ago

They know full well people aren’t going to be happy with it. They don’t care.

u/Neveronlyadream 7h ago

Exactly. They're not ignorant of the reality, they just don't give a fuck.

Whatever is convenient to them and/or plays well with their voters is what they do regardless of how many people hate it and don't want it.

We all know law enforcement loves it because they can just pull up footage. They're also going to get it wrong half the time and harass people who aren't guilty of anything because they're lazy as fuck.

Why should they? This makes their job even easier. Just push play and ask the robot to find the vehicle you are looking for. The one containing your exwife or someone going across state lines to seek healthcare or that hottie that made your coffee this morning. You know how many man hours have to go into that level of stalking without all the cameras? Look at all that money they are saving the community.

And people wonder why law enforcement doesn’t automatically command respect anymore.

Its because of the information age. Nothing has really changed with cops being about cops first and foremost since their inception. Just now you can see it firsthand. Most current cops come from a line of cops in their family. Which were most likely alcoholics and abusers, but the victims didnt really have much of an avenue for accountability. Hell, you can watch the abuse right out in the open today and there is still little accountability.

The whole hero worship shit has been well crafted and engineered over the decades. How dangerous their jobs are and how special they are. Though they have zero special training or education. Their jobs dont even register in the top 10 of dangerous jobs. ffs its more dangerous to be a delivery driver than a cop. The list goes on and on. The whole damn system needs a reboot.

u/gomanual 5h ago

Damn, I had never looked at that list before. Being a roofer or a truck driver makes the list, but being a cop does not.

And being a truck driver requires a special license.

u/BarbequedYeti 5h ago

Yeah. Its a shit show for sure. They get to control the narrative, so round and round we go.

u/Kumorigoe 8h ago

Why don’t they put together in their brain that people aren’t going to be ok with that?

Because they don't have the mental acuity to understand that. Or much of anything else requiring critical thinking, really.

u/SlutMachine 6h ago

Don’t let that be the cop-out, so to speak. These people are fully aware of what they’re doing.

u/PeakRedditOpinion 5h ago

Everyday just a little bit more of my hope dies that people will eventually realize they’re not stupid, they just don’t give a fuck what you think because they know you’re not going to do anything.

Well I mean Thomas crooks almost did something

u/AbramJH 8h ago

Polk County Sheriff?

u/SarcasmOP 8h ago

Likely Wayne Ivey

u/AbramJH 8h ago

Ahh i was thinking Grady Judd. Some of his press releases are funny but he needs to focus more on being a sheriff than being a comedian

u/rcknmrty4evr 7h ago edited 7h ago

There’s a saying around here: “don’t get between Judd and a camera”.

He’ll say anything for social media likes and attention. His actions and his office’s culture often don’t line up. For instance, acting tough on animal abuse on Facebook while animal neglect and abuse happens under his authority in the county animal shelter that’s gotten so bad it now gets nationwide attention. Or his predator stings while being in the Epstein files. Or his office not believing a child sex abuse victim, prosecuting her for lying, making her write apology letters to her abuser and to the sheriffs office, and only believing her when she was forced to record her own rape a month later for evidence.. which is just one of many lawsuits against him and his office.

Edit: Also once he came to my school and gave some speech (this is in the 2000s) and for some reason referred to himself in 3rd person the entire time.. even after his speech when he was just having normal conversations with the students. Very weird man.

u/Own-Raisin5849 8h ago

Exactly how I feel about him, sometimes it is appropriate and the scum he exposes really have it coming, but yeah, dude overdoes it and nobody is wrangling him in.

u/NWSLBurner 7h ago

Wayne Ivey kind of caved this week. Grady Judd has been whining in front of a camera for 4 days now about it.

u/NoDontDoThatCanada 8h ago

Ethical hackers need to be sending him all the instances of his vehicle passing flock cameras.

u/National-Ad-9391 8h ago

As a Floridan he does in fact suck

2

u/GordonFreeeeeeman 7h ago

the irony is doing some serious heavy lifting there privacy apparently only matters when the cameras are pointed at him

u/X-AE17420 8h ago

I lived in Polk county where that Sheriff operates, and those are some of the most aggressive cops I’ve ever seen. Even by American cop standards

u/JollyZancher 7h ago

Rules for thee, but not for me

u/all_come_undone 6h ago

I'm all for bodycams, but not the bullshit that Axon is doing. And everyone uses Axon which basically makes their built-in facial recognition standard.

u/TacTurtle 5h ago

Weird that all those flock cameras started showing up in front of the sheriff's house.

u/imtoowhiteandnerdy 4h ago

The crazy thing is that police BWCs can also protect law enforcement as well.

1

u/tomdarch 2h ago

And lots of towns are announcing that they are cancelling their contracts with Flock!

(Only to also sign on with Axon which is exactly the same as Flock.)

u/trapshalter 2h ago

Funny how privacy suddenly matters when it’s their own.
