Mayor approval ratings jumped from 28% to 74% post-deployment.
A tale of 2 mayors in SF:
From a 28% approval rating, to a 74% approval rating
In between those two polls, San Francisco set up a real-time crime center, powered by @Flock_Safety ALPR, drones, and software
Now, they're on pace to have reduced property crime by ~43% since 2024
Positive users praise Flock Safety cameras and drones for cutting San Francisco property crime by 43 percent and proving effective, while negative users call the technology unconstitutional domestic spying that invades privacy.
@paulg I mean if we have criminals walking around. Going on podcast. Admitting they do drive bys. (notice the plural part)
The fooking tech probably isn't working great and neither is our justice system.
Wow. This is the way you want criminals to be talking about your anti-crime tech.
One of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco tells @adam22 that “crime in San Francisco is over with” because of Flock cameras + drones. He complains that he can’t even do drivebys anymore.
It’s simple: when the risk of getting caught is too high, crime plummets.
@paulg imagine this is actually an elaborate marketing plan and these guys are paid actors
@danfarnsy The political bottleneck has been removed too.
@rahul @Flock_Safety in fairness to breed the only reason SF can use drones is because she put Prop E on the ballot to legalize it
@paulg SF long had the ability, but not the will, to prosecute criminals. It is a policy choice that you can’t leave anything visible in a car there for more than two minutes without your windows getting smashed. Cameras don’t remove the political bottleneck.
@paulg Huh, you're right
This must be why crime is so low in San Francisco:
YC backed Flock cameras which I learned about from a video shared by the head of safety at flock, a video between “one of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco” and a guy who’s famous for letting other guys bang his wife (totally organic content, no payments were made to anyone who participated).
@paulg I’d rather my criminals be behind bars than on podcasts complaining.
@paulg If prosecutors and DAs didn't their job we wouldn't need a surveillance state.
Why is "one of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco" on a podcast?
@paulg I knew SF was done in early 2019 when I walked to Equinox down Market St at 5pm on a Wednesday and watched the cops declare a man dead on the sidewalk - I hope Flock makes that the exception instead of the backdrop.
@paulg I’ll tell you the same thing I just told @garrytan you all post so little about black people. Its ridiculous that this is the best you could come up with. SMH.
@rahul @Flock_Safety Property crime down 43% in two years?!
Extraordinary.
Well done, @SFPD, @DanielLurie @BrookeJenkinsSF !!
@paulg Criminals run expected value calculations faster than most investors. He quit when the math changed. When did yours?
@paulg “Catching” and “preventing” was / is never the problem in SF. It’s the DA who refuses to file charges when caught.
@paulg This is the best ad of all time @glangley @Flock_Safety
@ZssBecker @paulg You voted for a pedophile for President sit down
@FreeClaude26 SF is far from done. Things have been improving there since 2024. I was in SF a couple days ago and it felt to me like it did in 2010.
@paulg Make something people don't want
@ZssBecker @paulg Or he’s a phony
