An underrated comment. But sunlight is the best disinfectant.
I think it's the fundamental issue with these cameras, that it takes pictures of us, but we ourselves cannot access it. Even though it was us who has paid for it!
If the government has access to it and it isn't otherwise publicly broadcast, yes. It is straight up illegal for the government to do it itself, just because they found a loophole of buying the surveillance they want from private institutions instead of using their own camera doesn't mean it is right or should be allowed to continue.
And you better believe Flock considers it a sales channel to also sell to data brokers and such institutions with the aim of having them be able to share data with agencies who'd otherwise be prohibited (and they also won't turn off such sharing functionality just because you're an agency in that state - that's not their job).
