Here's a trick.
Google the title - "The inside story of how Jared Isaacman got his NASA nomination back"
No blockage.

Meh. I didn't read it either... I just saw the dude. I thought, damn we should hire him. With those ears he could FLY to space, or pick up signals from satellites.

The Flock cameras are bad enough.

Listen at 3:00 to what the city's lawyer said about the judges decision. Somebody try that next time you get ticket and go to court....

 
*checks to see if we are in Garage*

Ok, short version. I used to design and help both foreign and domestic agencies implement ALPR camera systems (similar to the Flock cameras). Unless something has changed recently, there are no laws directly regulating what agencies do with the data they collect. Some have implemented internal policies, mostly local LEO agencies, but at the fed level it’s pretty wide open.

More so that what the government is doing with the information, what is Flock doing with it? Selling it, of course. We all know facebook, google, others are all collecting and selling data from our online activities. These companies are doing it in real life.

Flock does not have access to the data that the camera collects. They simply sell the hardware and Optical Character Recognition software. Flock may have temporary access to it during the initial set up and test phase, but they do not have continued access to it.
Only the Leo agency has that data and decides what happens to it.

That said there’s nothing preventing you from going out and buying your own $20,000 camera system and putting it on your personal vehicle and driving around Geo tagging everyone’s location at any given time. That data would be pretty useless to you unless you though unless you had enough historical data to and a need to pinpoint one person‘s location at any given time which is why it’s useful for law-enforcement agencies. In the civilian sector, repo companies use it by driving around in a car with a camera system on it. The camera “looks” for any vehicle on their repo list and alerts the driver when he gets a match.

Literally throwing something at someone is assault.

um - no.
Assault is defined legally as an attempt to inflict immediate physical harm on another person.
Only in a very specific and extreme situation would a sandwich inflict harm on a person.

He didn’t get charged because of the courts politics

He got charged - thats what the legal system does. He wasn't convicted because a jury of peers realized this is stupid. No politics necessary.
 
Police mentality ... When doubt, write it out ... and let the courts argue over it.

Literally and then 20 articles are written about the issue to win the minds of the people in the court of public opinions as the real legal system is backed up and takes years to provide rulings.

Meanwhile a bunch of billionaires behind the scenes are getting richer off our stupidity
