Flock Safety to shorten license-plate reader data retention after abuse reports
One thing this Bloomberg piece covers that is left out of other reporting from today is where Flock sees the biggest opportunity for growth: “‘Drones, trailers and software — that’s really what’s driving the business forward,’ Langley said.”
“Langley said new products are a focus because the market for automated license plate readers is finite and growth in new cities will be tough.”

"We're not big brother." I can't think of anything that describes Big Brother better than cameras watching & reporting your every move. Try again, Flock.
"We're not Big Brother... yet."

The speed at which groups are pivoting from Flock to include the other ALPR companies is giving me life. We aren't letting up on Flock either. This is definitely a "yes, and" situation, and we are rising to it.
