Whether legitimate or not, here in Lexington, we're already subjected to heightened community surveillance through the FLOCK camera system. Additionally, many people already have RING cameras on their doors and in some cases even more sensitive areas. FLOCK offers a kind of persistent surveillance in that those that have access to the data can go back through time and discover what intersections you were at, what times, for quite some time in the past. What are your patterns? This is not some futuristic scheme to steal our privacy--it's here and it's doing exactly that. As are these doorbell cameras, but it's even worse in some respects.

Recently some cities and towns have removed FLOCK from their systems, because they were caught selling camera data and even access to cameras outside of the regulatory use framework.Now think about that same level of access and potential exploitation for doorbell cameras--cameras that can hear whatever is being said within earshot without anyone knowing they've been activated and listening...and who goes in and out...what times...it's all a record somewhere.

I bring this up in the context of that visit I got today. I'm not suggesting there is anything nefarious about the company per se (which I didn't get the name of and should have), But as a consumer getting this knock, and who may be left thinking "having a linked camera put on my front door that I can use as a video doorbell" is a win win, I would urge you to consider that same camera is actually linked into a broader system others have access to.

I found them by accident about a month ago and now I stop by nearly every day. I've heard that other Save-A-Lot's also have good produce, while other's don't. Anyway, the pictures don't lie, and mods if this runs afoul of the rules for some reason I'll understand.
