So they can film you but you can't film them?

Double standard much?

Yep they hate having a camera in their face, how ironic

I despise Flock. Have had plenty to say. But I suspect -this- was the reason, moreso than the filming the installation:

> As Keefe began to shoot video, the installer saw him and immediately packed up his equipment and drove away, so Keefe also returned to his car and followed several cars behind, hoping to document the next stop.

Not to say the installer wouldn't have anyway, but it's not inherently unreasonable to call 911 when someone is obviously following you.

It is unreasonable, because 911 is for emergencies where life or property is imminently threatened.

If you believe someone is watching and following you, then you can call the non-emergency number. Or your mom.

This is actually something I've wondered about. What is the non-emergency number?

You might have to google it because it's not standardized across the country

They can also drive to a police/fire station
