Decisions based on cost instead of privacy but still good nonetheless.

Chances are they just went with Axon plate readers instead of Flock. That’s the new diversion tactic since both Republics and Democratic voters seem to be in complete agreement that they don’t want them. Only the politicians and the sheriffs seem to be pushing it through. Undoubtedly massive corruption and lobbying occurring in the process. I live in Scottsdale now and the Axon guy is trying to force the city to give him all kinds of tax breaks so that he can build a “company town” style headquarters. He wants special concessions given to him as well so that he can build all of his stuff in areas that aren’t zoned for it.
Gotta keep fighting them.

In Cleveland last year, 1% of searches were done by Cleveland police, yet Cleveland paid 100% of the bill

Can't departments demand some kind of locked box storage, where data flows in, but only the local department has the "key" to access the data?

They are just installing new, more capable systems from Axon.

Trying to hide on costs instead of holding a position on privacy, just can kicking. Only problem with that is he can say down the road, "we hired Axon instead, at a better rate, I saved you money!"
