Flock (YC 2018) Re-Connects Camera Disabled by Police Chief

I expect them to pivot to selling tips for civil enforcement as the police stuff dries up due to public outcry. There's already companies in this space doing Flockish stuff but they're not as prolific. It's way less regulated than the law enforcement stuff Flock is currently selling to. The accused's rights are basically nil. Unlike policing (in the typical case, yes speed trap towns exist) it's potentially also a huge money maker for municipalities so if the customer gets hooked on the revenue public outcry is less likely to uproot it. Another "pro" (if you call it that) to civil enforcement is that way more useful idiots will go to bat for it.

Edit: Here's an example of the sort of slimy services Flock could start selling: https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/investigations/nbc-ct-respond...

Does that county have a contract with Flock?

From current article lede: • Update 11/4/2026, 3:44pm ET: Following publication, Flock Safety responded to The Drive’s request for comment on the situation and said, “The cameras were unplugged before the cancellation could be formally processed, which automatically triggered maintenance orders. When the remaining work orders were removed, one was inadvertently missed. The newly installed camera is not collecting data. All removal orders have again been expedited and all cameras will be removed in the coming weeks.”
