IanCal, sorry you feel this way. Our goal is simply to help police do their job. Today, only 13% of crime is solved due to lack of evidence. We are trying to help drive that number to 100% and eliminate crime in our neighborhoods.
Hey sumoboy, you are right. Just having a picture of a suspect's face is rarely enough to prosecute. We constantly hear from Police that a license plate is the trick to start building a case.
Re: Pricing -- hard to put a price on something that can actually solve crime. In addition, most of our customers/prospects see more benefit to the technology than just solving crime (i.e., speeders).
Hey rudimental, Garrett (co-founder of Flock), we built this product because there wasnt a better way to solve crime in our neighborhoods.
Police are only able to solve 13% of cases due to lack of evidence. We are simply trying to provide the police with the evidence they need to do their job.
We believe this type of technology is inevitable (look at our highways and major city roads already). We believe the data should be owned by the community and not the government.
We care deeply about privacy which is why we (a) sell to neighborhoods and not the government, (b) only focus on cars/license plates and (c) allow residents to opt-out if they want to.
