No it’s not.

Axon does not let you search for people in a database based on what they currently look like or are wearing like Flock does.

It’s not the same thing at all.

Axon is the company that made tasers for cops in the 90s and started making body cams in the 00s.

Flock is a YC startup that is going after mass surveillance of the public, allowing people with access to search and find people.

Unbelievable comparison to say they are “the same thing”

You went from that user “blatantly making up” that they surveil and collect data to “well because HOAs want that”

Bad look

Many governments are banning them because they were installed before authority knew what it really was.

As they all find out what it is, they are canceling and rejecting the contracts they had with them.

Happening across several cities and states.

Fact check this if you’re really curious, don’t trust HN

You’re not being honest.

You don’t mention that they were reading license plates with cameras from Day 1 already tracking people - that was the technology and still is

Flock is YC. Real world ads
Flock is YC that’s why
Flock is a YC company, HN tries to make it seem like it’s evil govts but it’s them
