TED Talks Daily · Can a camera on every corner make us safer? | Garrett Langley · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

And so one of the biggest criticisms of Flock is that we create this national network of data that allows local law enforcement to work together.

It's a uniquely American problem.

Third question that I talk about again, right?

So we covered the Constitution, we covered privacy, now the big one.

surveillance state?

Is this a creation of a new surveillance state?

You know, look, I think everyone in this room probably has a cell phone.

And what if I told you that someone with mediocre computer software skills could build a product that tracks your exact location in real time down to a few feet?

Because all of you use Google Maps and Uber and any device that has access to your location.

And so I think about the tooling that we ask our local law enforcement to use, and we give them a weapon

a gun, a taser, yet we're afraid to give them a camera that reads a license plate on a public road.

I'm not saying that it's not a choice, I'm just saying that for me, the trade-off is, I don't know how many more 11-year-old girls need to be kidnapped, or human trafficking rings, or silver alerts, or amber alerts.

We have to go through before we say enough is enough.

Now, the beauty of America, though, is that every city, state, county gets to pick.

It's not my choice.

I live in Atlanta.

I vote.

You should vote.

The challenge is that when you decrease surveillance and in effect decrease safety, it impacts certain parts of the community more than others.

If you are affluent in South Africa, you have nine-foot walls, you have private security guards.
