    If only we had flock cameras back in 2005, wait no one wants them now because it could help locate a missing person.

    Yes, small minded people who feel that their rights are being trampled on because of flock cameras are idiots. They are a deterrent, just like police are on the streets or in their cars driving around, no-different or K-9 Units - DETERRENTS. Those that fear having flock cameras are usually just a step away of committing a crime, has nothing to do with liberty, etc., just your typical criminal-mindset. If you aren't doing anything criminally, no need to worry about being photographed or videoed. Those with a guilty consciousness or afraid of being on camera are usually those with things to hide!

    And for any police to say that those flock cameras are not deterrents are afraid of the TRUTH of what they can do.

    Police Chief Peter Russell, AKA-DUMB-AZZ, of Neosho, MO stated that the department will not implement or directly access Flock Safety technology, prioritizing Fourth Amendment protections and civil liberties.

    Why do you Think - Joplin and Carthage use Flock Cameras, Police Chief Peter Russell, of Neosho, MO? As a DETTERENT AND PREVENTION OR TRACKING OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITES - - Maybe to better Protect their Citizens - Isn't that what Police are to be doing????????? Stop your Political Commentor Crap and use whatever is necessary and legal to Help Stop Crime - DO YOUR JOB!

    Third-Party Data: Neosho Police officers do not run searches through the Flock network. However, if a neighboring agency using Flock data (such as Joplin or Carthage) shares vital public safety information—like a stolen vehicle or missing person. So, Neosho Police - Dumb Dumb's don't want to SOLVE OR PREVENT CRIMINAL ACTIVIES - Sounds like Neosho!
