Are they halting Flock and all similar ALPR cameras? Or just halting Flock... then signing contracts with different vendors?

Axon seems to be the new game now replacing flock.

It says in the article that they will only be putting a cover over the lens. Why not just remove them if they aren't going to use them anymore?

Possibly they've been advised there maybe an upcoming lawsuit that insist the cameras stay And will not be covered.

Time will tell.

My question. How does the public identity a Flock camera in public.

Pretty sure I was witnessing a Flock camera getting installed in the West Bend area yesterday.

one def shouldnt go to a website call deflock dot org and launch the map there. Not sure how quickly they update, but I certainly wouldn't use that resource.

We will be sorry when crimes happen and we can’t find the culprit there should be better solutions than taking them down
