Flock’s AI surveillance cameras have sparked a nationwide backlash against unnecessary government intrusion into Americans’ lives.

This throws doubt upon Treasury’s interpretation of many provisions of the Code, creates a great deal of uncertainty in the administration of our tax laws, and could balloon the deficit.
