Can a Camera on Every Corner Make Us Safer? | Garrett Langley | TED (Level 1)

Flock Safety makes cameras that read car license plates. They help police solve crimes. One day, a grandmother in Tennessee woke up and her 11-year-old granddaughter was missing. A detective used a Flock camera. It found one car near the house. The car belonged to a dangerous person. The detective followed the car on the highway. He heard the girl crying in the back. She was tied up but alive. The police arrested the man. In Colorado, after a theft, police used Flock cameras and a drone. They found a white van and made an arrest in 21 minutes. Some people worry about privacy. Flock deletes the data after 30 days. The police own the data. Every action is recorded to stop misuse. The founder says everyone should be safe.
