It's not one kid, the scale of applicability is massive. The word kidnapping here is misdirecting the conversation a bit, because it's not even usually kids, often it's like, human trafficking cases that involve adults, or missing persons reports.
Like I said, my position is not popular. I think if you can get rid of the abuse from the police departments that have this tool, and it enables them to save people, it would be a good thing.
Often when a car is stolen, it's stolen so someone can do a second crime with it. So reducing successful car theft has lots of good downstream effects.
When I see posts online of people cutting down the cameras, it makes me feel like those people are pro-crime and anti-police rather than pro-privacy.
To add a complication to my position: I have been to the UK, and I did not like all the CCTVs around. They were often pointed at places where pedestrians would be rather than at the roads tracking the cars. That felt invasive and intrusive.
If present day Flock is just a stepping stone towards having that in the United States then my position on the matter would change.
