    The next stage of this is going to be models of Flock cameras that look like other common security cameras, or a Flock module that plugs into existing security cameras and adds them to the network.

        I mean, plenty of security cameras have WiFi capabilities. Adding bluetooth wouldn’t be a very big lift. It definitely wouldn’t be big enough to prevent a smaller form factor.

        Sure, but there’s no reason they couldn’t be built into an enclosure that looks like other security cameras.

        Alternatively, you just build a little box that has that extra stuff and plugs into a normal security camera, and you bury the box in the ground or put it inside a locked utility cabinet or something.

      The next stage of this is having cops patrol flock cameras.

      The whole ‘mass surveillance’ thing sort of does away with a need for traditional patrols.

        How long do you figure before they get the Flock AI declared a police officer, therefore any damage to an AI-enabled device counts as assaulting an officer?

          Please don’t give them ideas. Fido’s one thing, but at least that’s a sentient being that can feel pain. Officer Clanker, I hope to god, Satan, the FSM, Jibbers Crabst and whatever other deity may listen, is many many decades away.

          If they start declaring inanimate fucking objects or robots to be police officers, all it will mean is that the penalty for vandalism and cop killing is the same… so you might as well earn it.
