'PRIVACY OR SAFETY': Flock Safety CEO says people are prioritizing the 'wrong thing' #shorts
Yeah, look, I think these are important. conversations to have. Um, I value my. privacy, my family values their privacy, my employees value their privacy, but. what we're talking about is safety as. well. And so, I think when people talk. about just one of these, privacy or. safety, they're prioritizing the wrong. thing. And what we have to prioritize as. a country is compromise. How do we have. our safety? And how do we balance. privacy? And so, when I think about. legislation that calls for an outright. ban, that's like banning vehicles. That. that would never have made sense. Instead, what we did is we introduced. laws against drunk driving. We.
introduced laws around seat belts, laws. around airbags. And when I look at this. type of technology, there's two key. things we have to get right. We have to. get data retention right. So, how long. is this data stored? Now, we most. recently updated our recommendation to 7. days. The most strict state legalation. to date is 21 days. The second thing we. have to get right is accountability. What happens if law enforcement abuses. this powerful technology today? It is. too often that in Flock and in other. technologies, there's no regulation.
There's no accountability. And we think. that's wrong. And so last week, we. announced changes that required. auditing, that required using our audit. assistance tool, which which detects. admirable behavior. And we're calling on. state regulators to focus less on a. banning this type of technology, and. more holding our law enforcement. community accountable because look, the. the the person who wants a bad cop gone. first is a good cop. And 99.9% of cops. are good.
