Flock CEO Defends Cameras After Employees Viewed Daycare, Pool Footage

But when you can see a camera, it's something to point at when you're mad. And so I think the issue is not that people dislike my company, it's that they are mad and they need somewhere to point. And they're mad at the current federal administration because we didn't have this problem two years ago, we didn't have this problem a year ago. This is a current thing and it'll move past. That's the CEO of Flock and people say he might be the most delusional guy in America. People don't hate Flock because they're angry. the government they hate flock because it gives the government the ability to track them wherever they go and let's not even get started on where some of these cameras are being installed so what jason had discovered is that over a thousand times flock employees viewed those cameras inside this private community center including but not limited to the pool the daycare center the children's gymnastics room and it no Nobody had been arrested. Nobody had to answer any questions about it. In fact, they actually made it harder for Flock to collect an audit or to collect a record of who was looking at the camera internally from the company. Wait, just to be clear, it was Flock employees who were not licensed law enforcement officers. All grown men. Yes, yes. All Flock employees over a thousand times and they were all grown men. And they were looking at these cameras at the daycare center, the children's gymnastics room. Like, and their defense to this was that it was a product demo for another client. And I'm thinking to myself, if I had a business and I wanted a flock hammer, if I had a police department and somebody pulled up a laptop and said, look how good this works. And then it was a children's gymnastics room. I would call the police like, or hit them. I'm not sure what I would do, but that's, that's an outrageous explanation. That's, that's just delusional. And these delusions don't just end there. Guy actually thinks he'll win over Americans by saying stuff like this. Have you thought about working with the federal government at all? Do you have partnerships with them at that level? We don't. I mean, no, because I think for us, there's 18,000 cities to go after. We've got plenty of work. How many cities are you in now? Just over five or six thousand. What is the, like, what is the TAM here? I imagine actually in an ideal world, people just stop needing to pay for your product. That would be lovely. That sounds great. I would like to live in that world. I'd like my kids. to live in that world. But what is the TAM? No, I mean, you look at it this way. What is the price you'd be willing to pay to be safe? Like, how much a year would you be willing to pay? How much do you pay for Netflix? I have a terrible financial reporter. Netflix is like $50 a month. I would pay $100,000 a year to guarantee my safety. No, you wouldn't pay that. I don't think you'd pay that much. I think you might want to. But the way we think about the TAM is, well, there's however many hundreds of millions of people in America. What is the cost of being safe? What is the price we're willing to pay? for us it's very important that that doesn't become a privatized privilege. We believe safety should be up there with clean water, safe roads. It should be something that every American has the
