The city I work at just ended their contract with them. Monday morning I get to send them a demand to remove them from our ROW within 30 days or we'll have them removed and fine them $500/camera per day until they pick them up and pay us our expenses related to the removal.

Our police are also bagging the cameras, including the solar panels (so they'll shut off).

My town uses the other brand, that might account for some of the difference

The one with all the product placement on The Rookie, Axon? They need to go fuck themselves too.

Flock is not the only brand of ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader). Its the brand/company that is receiving the most negative press, which means other companies providing the same service are quietly sneaking into towns and cities.

If you drive in an area covered by an ALPR-networked camera, your vehicle’s movements may already be in a searchable database. As the tools for building these systems become more widely available, the pressure for clearer rules about who may collect vehicle-location data, on whom, and for how long is unlikely to ea

As always keep reaching out to your local city council to ask where are these cameras being installed, how long is the information being retained, who is accessing these systems, and who is keeping the individuals accessing these systems accountable?
