This establishes a baseline. More evidence can adjust it, and we have one data point here, but I'm going for it:

*Absent meaningful regulations, 95% of Flock searches are illegal.*

Improper for sure. Illegal? maybe. It should be at least.

I'm not trying to dismiss the gravity of the abuse these camera systems facilitate.

My comment was meant to convey that the headline on this post was missing the context of the locality in which the searches were happening.

The story is really about one dispatcher using the system improperly in one police department.

The truncated headline here implies that one person was responsible for 95% of all Flock camera searches.
