🚨 A cop ran his ex 717 times. Flock’s CEO admitted it - The Kim Komando Show

🙋‍♀️ Hello there, {{first_name | friend}},

Wow, you really don’t want to miss this weekend’s show.

For starters, a Florida cop ran his ex-wife’s license plate 717 times through a camera network watching 120,000 American streets. This week, Flock Safety’s cofounder Garrett Langley sat across from me and admitted it. Cops have abused his cameras. He still insists Flock isn’t Big Brother. Both can’t be true. Dr. Matthew Guariglia of the Electronic Frontier Foundation joins me to sort out which statement is. 

But wait there’s more!

A reporter hid an AirTag in a stack of books to find out what Amazon was really doing with them. Spoiler: shredding them to feed AI.

A listener dropped her phone in an airplane toilet and went in after it. Gloved. Elbow deep. The phone survived. Her dignity did not.

Also: My merch drop goes live today, one week only, electricians are pulling $260K with zero college debt, Ferrari’s first EV made $40 million and a fake FBI call cost one woman $4.3 million.
