Flock was the company who promised to proactively report suspicious patterns to the police.

The future of "computer said you did something wrong, explain yourself" is pretty dark.

> He announced Monday that an audit found Customs and Border Protection had accessed Illinois data, although he didn’t say that the agency was seeking immigration-related information.

Honestly, at this point, it's even odds that it's one guy trying to stalk one of his exes.

I guess the scrutiny of being in bed with the fedcops must have been damaging their ability to make money hand over fist in blue states selling cameras to school districts, municipal offices and Karen infested gated communities. I assume some states are also scrutinizing the contracts more since no politician wants to be the guy who enabled the feds to do something the voters in their district really hate.

Why else would they be pulling back?
