Flock

Security cameras have been around forever, but now they’re all interconnected with live feeds available to any nosy pig or Fed. Flock cameras are taking a lot of the criticism lately, at town halls and beyond, because they’ve been aggressively sold to cities and towns as a security measure, but are really just a giant data collection operation.

Until a camera or A.I. can predict crime, which they never will, these surveillance tools only help companies and governments spy on regular people. Crime is at historic lows, but unfortunately paranoia and mistrust of neighbors has risen exponentially this century. Now the fears and insecurities that built our global panopticon are in the hands of straight-up fascists, here and abroad.
