    The City isn’t their real customer, and public safety isn’t their real product.

    The like the public safety angle, because then they get cities to pay the costs of deployment, but it’s profitable without them.

    I workforna city that just fired Flock, and what’s making them move the cameras is that we’re revoking their right-of-way permits and paving the shoulders where the cameras are located. Our ROW encroachment agreement boilerplate language allows us to destroy anything that is in the way of a public works project if it isn’t removed within 10 business days of notice of revocation.
