The CEO of Flock Group, the Atlanta-based maker of AI Flock cameras and other surveillance tools, went on Fox News over the weekend to defend his Orwellian company against the massive public backlash that has been gaining steam for months, to the point where some Americans are vandalizing and chopping down the ubiquitous Flock cameras that blanket more than 6,000 U.S. cities and towns.

Garrett Langley, the CEO of Flock, told Fox News on Saturday that he hopes there can be a national "compromise" that allows the AI spy cameras to continue operating while also honoring people's right to privacy.

In classic limited hangout form, Fox News again let itself be used as a propaganda organ, conceding that Americans are fed up with Flock but then allowing this sinister company's CEO to have the last word and come across as a man who seems sympathetic to Americans' desire to retain their privacy rights.

Fox writes:

"Automated license plate readers, known as Flock cameras, are used by law enforcement in dozens of states to record vehicle data that can aid criminal investigations, but residents in communities with the cameras have raised concerns about privacy and potential misuse by law enforcement."

For starters, these Flock cameras are not just reading license plates. They are picking up everything about your vehicle that makes it unique to your ownership and tracking it everywhere, creating a storable digital footprint of your travels.

Flock also has cameras that watch walking paths, biking paths, public parks and commercial parking lots. Flock is even in the process of rolling out a new line of spy drones that will respond to suspicious activities citywide and notify police of exactly what's going on, most of which is perfectly innocuous everyday life. Then there's the Flock Raven system that listens to what's being said through super sensitive speaker devices.

But if you listen to Fox News, it's just license plate reading that Flock is engaged in.

Then they allow Flock's top executive, Mr. Langley, to claim that without his cameras, our cities would not be safe. So we need to get over ourselves with our concerns about losing our Fourth Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights.

Speaking on "Saturday in America," Langley argued the technology is vital for safety and called for compromise.

"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," Langley told Fox News. "How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?"

Flock Safety's website describes the tools as "technology that helps communities deter crime, respond to emergencies, and investigate safety incidents." The company's website states that it aims to balance public safety and privacy.
