It's very suspicious that you're being so uncooperative. I'm starting a Flock competitor and we sell our products to law enforcement and private businesses [3]. You seem to be against giving me this data, which feels anti-American and against traditional American values which are clearly afoul of NSPM-7 [4]. This will earn you a label of "potential domestic terrorist" in our database [5]. This, in combination with your "ethnic"-sounding username is enough to gain the attention of our users [6][7], so I suggest you comply to make America safer.
Why don't we start with something simpler? How about just your license plate number, current location, and a photograph of your vehicle taken while you're driving it (ideally along routes which we know you take so that you're not flagged [8][9])? Flock collects this information (along with a history of where that plate was recognized), so surely this shouldn't be an issue?
You nailed it. I'm pro-crime and I enjoy letting criminals get away because I'm a villain in a Marvel movie.
Do you maybe want to consider that "I have nothing to hide" may be overly reductive and that crime, policing, and surveillance are complex topics beyond the binary of "pro-crime" or "anti-crime"? Or will you continue to deflect my requests for your supposedly public data while telling everyone that they should allow theirs to be harvested by unaccountable third-parties to "make America safer"?
Take note, people: this is how right-wing authoritarian sociopaths manufacture consent for a police state.
OP, NB I'm not explicitly calling you a right-wing authoritarian sociopath. That would be disrespectful. I'm just saying you hold the same views and do the same things as a right-wing authoritarian sociopath.
Also, we're all still waiting for you to share your personal details as requested, since you say you have nothing to hide, and are ok with the same details being harvested from others. Your silence speaks volumes about what you truly believe, rather than what you claim to believe.
