Conservatives Push Flock Cameras Despite Knowing Criminal Identities

A conservative argument for expanding surveillance with Flock cameras overlooks that authorities already know who the offenders are.

Some right-leaning voices claim that deploying high-tech Flock cameras will curb crime by helping police catch suspects faster. The piece argues that the United States already possesses ample information on criminal identities, and the real challenge lies in securing convictions after arrests. Consequently, the push for broader surveillance may address a perceived problem that does not exist. The author suggests the appeal stems from frustration with crime rates rather than a genuine investigative need.
