A specter is haunting America’s street corners, utility poles, and highway overpasses. It takes the form of a small, unassuming camera manufactured by a company called Flock Safety. And depending on whom you ask, it is either an indispensable tool for catching murderers and carjackers or the final brick in the wall of an Orwellian surveillance state.
The truth, as is so often the case when politics and technology collide, is considerably more complicated than either camp wants to admit. What makes the flock camera debate uniquely instructive is not the technology itself but what it reveals about the collapse of honest discourse in an era where every issue must be flattened into a binary choice between utopia and apocalypse.
