Man, when the fucking LAPD is concerned about civil liberties, you know it's pretty damn bad.

Great. Are the cameras coming down? Or is Flock now doing unpaid surveillance?

So they're not actually severing ties, just looking to amend the contract with terms addressing the strawman issue of data security, rather than the real issue of mass surveillance.

Cops want cameras they can't turn off, turned off

With perfect surveillance, any crime would be solvable. But zero privacy means there’s no true freedom.
