The problem is that he could then use all of this to justify more surveillance, not less. Especially if any of the attackers get caught because of a Flock camera. It will just cause a feedback loop where a camera helped arrest someone, so we obviously need more cameras, which causes more anger, which causes more attacks, which causes more cameras… You get the idea.
I’m not saying that more cameras are the correct reaction, but I am saying that is likely how someone who is in Flock’s pocket would think about the situation. Especially when a Flock sales rep is whispering “this crime could have been solved if there was a camera on that street corner” into their ear like a little shoulder-devil.
