The Creepiest Sales Demo: A Flock VP Watches a Kids' Gym

I am deeply troubled by a recent incident where a Flock vice president accessed a camera inside a children's gymnastics room at a Dunwoody community center. While Flock and local officials claim this was an authorized sales demonstration, the city cannot produce the agreement allowing it. It is baffling that a police agency would need to view a single camera in a kids' room to evaluate a surveillance system, raising serious questions about privacy and oversight.

What kind of sales demo would require looking at one camera in a children’s gymnastics room?

    > Can anyone rationally explain why a police agency that is interested in Flock would like to see one third-party camera integration that is in a children’s gymnastics room?

    I could think of one reason

    Is there more information available? This article is effectively one sentence long:

    > On Sept. 30, 2025, a Flock vice president logged into the Dunwoody PD’s Flock system and looked at a camera in the children’s gymnastics room of a private community center here in Dunwoody.

    And there is a lot being implied in this sentence.

    Flock is such a scummy company. One must just read a bit of the coverage from 404 Media [1] or Benn Jordan [2] and get a whiff of how this company is handling pretty legitimate criticism about privacy and basic device security.
