▲A City Canceled Flock's Contract. Flock Ignored It. Police Chief Unplugged Them (thedrive.com)

Next step: flock sues the city federally and wins somehow

SCOTUS will rule that because the framers didn't specifically and explicitly say that local governments could cancel flock contracts, that therefore they cannot and must continue to both pay them forever and give them access to any location for cameras that they want.

Unless the cameras facilitate abortions or somehow aid Democratic candidates for office.

Anyone looking for the context or background since it isn't linked in the article: https://www.thedrive.com/news/how-flock-cameras-wrongly-trac...

Edit: (I was wrong, they're linked. Must have just taken a while to load link formatting or something?)

I wish more police chiefs took their role so seriously and practically. Commander Vimes would surely commend this man.

seems like Flock doesn't care at all about these incidents/bugs considering they've not responded in over a month beyond their local (presumably sales) rep. probably just a matter of time before this results in an Automated Death By Cop oopsie.

The poles are likely not Flock property. Yank the cameras down and impound them.

Arrest the Flock CEO and the board. Start holding companies accountable.

Sucks that it took an incident for the cancelation to be triggered.

The city should start charging them rent for the pole space.
