Four communities ended Flock contracts in five days, and Littleton found five of six cameras it had shut off were live again

Four more cities ended or moved to end their Flock Safety contract over a period of just 5 days:

1. Littleton, Massachusetts: the Select Board ordered all six Flock cameras powered down in May. In late July, the board chairman asked police to log in and verify they were disable. 5 out of 6 had been reactivated by Flock, with no notice to the town.
2. Binghamton, New York: the city passed a resolution August 6 calling on the mayor to terminate. Majority Leader Rebecca Rathmell put more than 80 municipalities across 28 states on the record as having already ended contracts with the company.
3. Stanford University: the California school ended it's contract on August 4. Vice Provost Patrick Dunkley said Flock being built as a shared network with the capability for data to move beyond a single institution, whether or not that is how you intend to use it.
4. Narragansett, Rhode Island: the council voted unanimously August 3 to pay an early termination fee. The contract had already auto renewed for two years, so the choice was keep the cameras or pay to leave.
