YouTuber builds 'Flock-like' camera to track police vehicles, gets police visit

A Canadian YouTuber built a camera system to track police vehicles, similar to the Flock Safety cameras, which were previously used by police to track the movements of individuals. The system, called 'Flock-like', uses a combination of cameras and computer vision to track police vehicles, and the YouTuber made a video showcasing its capabilities. However, after the video was uploaded, police officers visited the YouTuber's home to express concerns about privacy, citing the potential for misuse of the technology. The YouTuber has not disclosed the exact location where the system was deployed, but the video appears to show the system tracking multiple police vehicles in real-time. The Flock Safety cameras have been previously used by police to track individuals without their consent, raising concerns about privacy and surveillance.
