Flock isn't publicly traded. How could I own stock in it?
>I don't believe you are actually asking this is good faith.
Well assume it, those are the rules.
Apprehending suspects is most certainly not the definition of a dragnet. This is precisely my point. Apprehending people indiscriminately is the definition of a dragnet. Stopping a specific person for something that isnt a crime may not be legal but its not a dragnet.

Could be, am not.
Do you understand why flock is not a dragnet now?

No, you have done absolutely nothing to help me understand your perspective. You have only disagreed.

Not all stock is publicly traded. I own stock that you can't buy on the exchange. It's quite common actually.

15.4% of families have private equity. Not unheard of but not what I would call quite common https://www.sec.gov/files/exploring-accredited-investors-jun...

I searched that PDF for family/families and found nothing, but I did find that you are actually even more correct. Most of that report is about accredited investors. Less than 5% of non-accredited investors own private securities. So, it's actually quite rare.
That said, to answer your question, you could own Flock stock. Private companies often offer stock to employees and others.
