The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

    Maybe if there where not do many guns in your country and so easy to get them and hard to take them away from people with issues who shouldn’t have then, then maybe coos wouldn’t be so edgy on a traffic stop.

      Violent crime is driven by economic inequality, not by proliferation of guns. Tax the rich, pay people a fair wage, provide universal healthcare, investing in public infrastructure, etc. are how you reduce violent crime.

      But rich people don’t want to do that. They want to hoard their wealth and oppress people as they please, so they distract the masses by claiming it’s due to proliferation of guns, atheists, LGBT folks, etc. The rich will use any scapegoat they can find to avoid fixing actual problems.

      And yet drive through restaurant cashiers are able to interact with drivers daily. And toll booth operators as well. The biggest danger from writing a ticket on the side of the road is other vehicles. Police have the discretion of when to escalate a situation. For example, when to attempt an arrest- They can call for backup or wait until the situation can be safely resolved.

      If police need to go to therapy and then they should. If they cannot do their job without suffering from trauma then they should resign.
