Very well said sir they are a great tool, folks don't understand if they have cell phone in their pocket// you might say they have a more advanced flock to talk in their possession. Talk about being followed, to use the new restrooms in downtown Seattle you have to have an app on your phone to enter the said restroom the reader takes your information and stores it then if you spend to much time it kicks you out and if the next user reports said toilet dirty it comes up with your name ( phone ) that is and has been logged into the system. Question why are folks afraid of a camera and not a toilet?

If it can help I have no problem with Flock cameras! There are cameras watching from almost everywhere. Even from low orbit satellite 🛰️📡 that can see you walk out your door 🚪

With all do respect.....man discovered nuclear fission with the best of intensions, I'm sure....and look where we are now.

Have the flocks solved the flock cutters yet? I haven't seen any updates on the aftermath of them being cut down.

I have no personal problem with or fear of Flock cameras. Much more likely to help than harm me.

whoever keeps cutting down flock cameras, you're a hero.

Please Keep them!!!

How many have been convicted?

As a retired police officer with 33 years in law enforcement, I have seen policing change dramatically as new investigative tools became available. In my experience, few technologies have offered investigators the kind of practical assistance that automated license plate reader systems such as Flock can provide. I compare Flocks significance as an investigative aid to the impact DNA evidence had when it became widely available.

The good they have done far outweighs the bad for me. However, I lead a boring life, no tickets, no accidents, no criminal record.

The cameras helped locate my stolen car twice. Im grateful for that

You had visual before the camera's.doesnt sense

Ryan Wisner, you make it sound so great, but the fact is flock cameras are unconstitutional a violation of our constitutional rights and people are gonna petition to have them taken down not to mention the fact that we never voted on them. my question to you is, if you’ve had cameras are so great, why don’t you guys get body cams? I’m talking about the Yakima police. Every other police department is wearing body cameras. Why don’t you guys? I also believe there are used for police to profile others with.

I think it's hilarious that every other day the police or the Yakima Sheriff's Office are making posts trying to sell everyone on the idea of flock cams, even though they were put up without citizens voting on it, and most people don't want it. Why are they pushing them so hard? The answer is simple, kickbacks. Not to mention the more "crimes" people are put in jail for, the more the city makes, or the more private prisons make. Not to mention all the nefarious things police are using flock cams for, like stalking their exes or arresting the wrong people. A federal judge also ruled they are unconstitutional because you are tracking someone...and yet our city has not taken them down.

I support the police and flock.

You know what else is a good "tool" for law enforcement? Slapping ankle bracelets on everyone or, better yet, microchipping us all! If you've "got nothing to hide", yeah?... We'd be SUPER safe! Woo-hoo! Derp. /Live free

Policing without the need for warrants would be easier, too, but that isn't how things work in America.

Use of Flock or Axon networks should require a warrant signed by a judge, period! No private parties should have access to these networks, period!

There are enough bad people. Law enforcement needs all the help they can get.

The only success with Flock will be when they stop being used

🖕🏼 When did we become a surveillance state?

Stop trying to justify mass surveillance. Get a damn warrant if you want to watch someone. Why does Yakima have exponentially more Flock cameras than other places of comparable population? If comparable crime rates?

Thank You YPD🇺🇸🇺🇸
