Transcript
recently fired for allegedly misusing these controversial surveillance cameras made by the company Flock. >> We had about just under a dozen abuses over the last 8 years that we had detected. And so we also kind of know what abuse looks like. >> Mhm. Tell us what does abuse look like? >> So here's a good example. Let's say you're an officer and you say you're trying to stalk me. You would look for me. You'd say I'm looking for Garrett's car, it's ABC1234. And you'd search for it and kind of figure out where it is. And then the next day you'd search for me again. And then the next day you'd search for me again. That's very abnormal.
If you were truly trying to find me because I committed a crime, you would have put my tag on a hot list so that anyone else in the police department would have been also notified cuz you might be asleep, you might be off shift because I'm a criminal. So everyone has a right everyone's trying to find me. If you're stalking me, you don't want anyone else to know it's happening. And so that's a maybe that's the easiest one we can flag. And so you've seen the headlines of the last few weeks. We've caught a lot of bad cops. >> And and >> Yeah, and it's a ton for us, too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, and it's it's a ton. It's it's
more than I ever would hoped. And so we we now are requiring that as a mandatory. It's not even a default, it's a mandatory feature you have to have turned on. We have to find these bad cops and get rid of them.
