If you're interested, a very similar article, from Ars Technica, was posted yesterday. We had a discussion on it at [1].

Geofeedia has since posted a response [2].

Thanks. I read the Ars article yesterday, but hadn't seen the response from Geofeedia.

I don't really buy that they have adequate safeguards against the police using this data inappropriately. Seems like a bold claim to me and requires further explanation. In the Ars story, they allege that as many as 500 different police departments across the country are using their data.
