Flock CEO Claims Microphones Only Detect Gunshots Despite Website

However, promotional materials and company statements indicate a broader capability to monitor various ambient sounds. The tool has drawn significant criticism from civil liberties organizations regarding mass surveillance and privacy infringements. While the CEO downplays these concerns, public opposition highlights mounting anxiety over the expansion of municipal monitoring technologies.
