Police chief unplugs Flock cameras after ignored contract cancellation

Original: Police chief unplugs Flock cameras after company ignores contract cancellation Article URL: https://www. tomshardware.co

A police chief physically disconnected Flock license-plate reading cameras after the company failed to honor a contract cancellation, with the city reportedly taking matters into its own hands. The unusual move highlights growing friction between local governments and surveillance vendors over billing and cancellation terms, and is drawing attention to disputes over automated policing technology.

Why now: The dramatic step of physically unplugging surveillance hardware over a contract dispute is an unusual clash between a city and a big tech vendor.
