The LAPD paused its Flock contract after a reporter demonstrated the cameras were tracking individuals despite the company's claims they don't track people. A DeKalb County deputy was arrested for misusing the system, and federal prosecutors dropped charges against a Maine gun owner after a judge questioned Flock's reliability.
Flock cameras were sold as a tool to identify vehicles in specific incidents — not to track individuals over time. A reporter proved otherwise. Now a cop is arrested for abuse, charges are being dropped because the technology's credibility is shot, and a major police department is pumping the brakes. The damage to Flock's reputation is significant. Other police departments will think twice before expanding their contracts.
