Flock keeps ignoring requests to cancel its contracts

Flock Safety, a provider of smart traffic cameras, is refusing to remove its equipment from cities that have canceled their contracts, with some cities reporting that the company has even reinstalled cameras without authorization. In one case, a city council voted to terminate its contract in September, but the cameras remained up for over a month before the police chief intervened to disconnect them. Another city reported that Flock acknowledged its request to remove the equipment, but then reconnected two cameras without permission. A similar issue occurred in Illinois, where the company refused to remove cameras from a community college after the administration canceled its contract. The company's actions have left some cities frustrated and concerned about the lack of control over the equipment.
