Anyone looking for the context or background since it isn't linked in the article: https://www.thedrive.com/news/how-flock-cameras-wrongly-trac...

Edit: (I was wrong, they're linked. Must have just taken a while to load link formatting or something?)

The city should start charging them rent for the pole space.

Arrest the Flock CEO and the board. Start holding companies accountable.

The poles are likely not Flock property. Yank the cameras down and impound them.
