[–] daannii@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children) Insurance companies should refuse to cover cars with these flock cameras in them due to being targeted for vandalism. This is is shitty because it does put the risk on the underpaid gig worker. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago RIP out the flock cameras. permalink fedilink source parent [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 days ago (1 child) Insurance companies will welcome this and offer reduced policy costs. Because it’s like an additional security device, if they can obtain the cam footage after an accident or crime. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 point 2 days ago .maybe. maybe not Flock won't allow access to the footage unless they pay them. People (maybe sock puppet and ai people?) say all the time on social media how flock is great so we can catch criminals and talk about how nobody will be exempt from criminal activity. But we know the local pd don't use flock to find criminals. They don't care. They just use it for stalking, funding immigrants, and making sure pregnant women aren't getting abortions. permalink fedilink source parent
