Cops are pretty toxic in relationships. In two studies, 40% of cops surveyed admitted to perpetrating domestic violence. In other studies the number was closer to 25%. No matter what the number, that's way higher than typical. Now give these people tools like Flock? It's a recipe for some of the most abusive people to have access to some of the most vulnerable people. IMO, cops shouldn't have Flock access. Sources: Johnson, L.B. (1991).
