    So your theory is they are being paid by private companies to put up cameras in public spaces? That are not owned by those private companies?

      No my proven fact is this private company has contracts with agencies all over the nation and as well as federal agencies and so the more cameras they have around the nation the more complete the tracking data they offer becomes.

      It has nothing to do with individual cameras being paid for.

      Most of their contracts include sharing the information the cameras collect with other clients. So the more complete the network is in total, the more it’s worth to every client.

      So even if there isn’t a specific company paying for a camera, it would be on Flock’s interest overall to install one there anyway, they’ll just do it as part of their overall Capital Expenditures.
