What was said
"Austin had Flock and then turned it off. And as a consequence, they were not able to find these guys for, I don't know, whatever, several days. And then what happened— the late-breaking news today is these guys drove into some adjacent town, up against Austin, and Flock was live in that town, and so Flock tagged them the minute they drove into that town, and then they caught the guys."
Andreessen explained that Austin shut down its Flock AI camera system over privacy concerns, allowing shooting suspects to evade capture for days until they entered an adjacent jurisdiction where the system remained active. Following the arrests, Austin's mayor and police chief held a press conference acknowledging the need to reconsider the decision, illustrating the tension between civil liberties and public safety in municipal technology adoption.
