  • All right, everybody, welcome back to the All In interview.

  • This is where we find the people building the future, sometimes a politician,

  • sometimes a CEO, sometimes an investor, all the time, an important discussion.

  • And one of the most important discussions of the moment is balancing safety and privacy.

  • And there is one company that is at the center of this, and we're so lucky to have Garrett from...

  • Flock here, Garrett Langley.

  • Garrett, you and I spoke on This Week in Startups, my other podcast that I've been doing for 16 years.

  • I don't know how many years ago that was, six or seven years ago.

  • Six or seven years, yeah.

  • And I've been following your company, full disclosure.

  • I was like trying to invest at one point.

  • I'm not a shareholder, but I've always been intrigued by what you're doing, on the margin sometimes concerned.

  • And it seems like you've been so successful with Flock, which does safety cameras, license plate readers specifically,

  • when you get into all the details today, But in the last year,

  • because of the tremendous success of Flock, it has been adopted in many communities.

  • We're going to get into that.

  • And it's had a really great impact at reducing crime.

  • We'll get into that.

  • But there is now a group of people who maybe have privacy concerns.

  • And you and I have talked over the years, and we're going to get into it.
