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.

a smart mistress would have this as invoicable line item's , basic would be gps tracking, advanced would include still photos, and ultra would have video clips

A smart mistress would know that this quickly leads to a dead mistress.

no, at the point at which a woman becomes a mistress she will know that the world she is entering is built on secrets, sin and criminality, and that bieng monitored is taken for granted, so comodifying that upfront might be a good way to own it, and show profesionalism. The article I think is about a situation where there was not that much money, and extra crazyness, amatuers not even having any fun or profit.
