I’m sure this is exactly the kind of thing the city council had in mind when they purchased the Flock Safety contract to “find abducted children” and “track down stolen vehicles” and make their streets “safer.”
In this case, safer for whom? Hmmm….
There are enough examples of this behavior — not to mention stalking ex-wives and -girlfriends, current spouses, business owners who aren’t “toeing the line” enough, etc. — that a reasonable city council or mayor’s office should be putting serious thought into whether “Flock Safety” should be allowed in their communities.
