Police chief unplugs Flock cameras after ignored contract cancellation
Original: Police chief unplugs cameras after Flock ignores contract cancellation
A US city cancelled its contract with surveillance company Flock, but the company's automated license plate reader cameras kept operating. The local police chief resolved the dispute by physically unplugging the cameras himself. The story is drawing attention to questions about corporate overreach, surveillance contracts, and who controls monitoring infrastructure once it is installed in a community.
Why now: It highlights a rare and unusual standoff between a city government and a surveillance vendor over contract compliance.
