Though Flock claims it does not utilize facial recognition technology in its cameras currently, the technology is available and the company has applied for a patent that would permit the tracking of individuals and allow searches of individual persons in its database.
A patent that would permit the tracking of individuals?
Patents give limited monopoly power over inventions; they restrict, not permit.
This indicates that Flock already has the technology to track people and just hasn’t deployed it in a manner that is usable by its customers.
This indicates that Flock already pretends that it has the technology to track people and just hasn’t deployed it in a manner that is because it is vaporware and it is not usable by its customers.
So far, everything I have seen from Flock, as far as technology goes, has been lowest common denominator trash. Their too strength is their ability to sell to the ignorant, easily impressed, luddite local politicians and law enforcement.
