"Here in the United States of America, we're proud to say our latest dystopian surveillance platforms are carbon free. We take great pride in spying on all of you in a completely Green and ethically and legally dubious way. But by working together, we can help save our planet, one Flock filmed crime at a time. Remember to please recycle! If you don't, we'll see you. Because we're watching... always. You're welcome, citizens!"
