Residents of an Atlanta suburb have been rocked by the revelation that sales employees at Flock have been accessing sensitive cameras in the town to demonstrate the company’s surveillance technology to police departments around the country. The cameras accessed have included surveillance tech in a children’s gymnastics room, a playground, a school, a Jewish community center, and a pool.

    I live relatively close to Dunwoody, maybe 50 miles north of there and this is the first I have heard of this. I am not surprised, though since Flock was a startup out of GA Tech and those cameras are just about everywhere in metro Atlanta.
