Flock's continued existence depends on the idea that those in law enforcement provisioned access to the data platform will use it responsibility. The evidence is robust this will never occur, so his hands are tied as his enterprise value and potential wealth evaporate as these examples feed into the continued discontinuation of contracts through public hearings and other avenues for constituent recourse.

The platform simply cannot exist because we cannot trust law enforcement to use it within the bounds of the legal framework, regardless of whatever controls Flock attempts to put in place at the platform level. This would of course be disappointing news to the CEO of such a platform, considering the time and resources invested to date, similar to the public collectively burning your equity lottery ticket. Such is the risk of attempting to speed run a startup in direct conflict with constitutional and privacy rights. Sometimes you win (Airbnb and Uber), sometimes you don't.
