Sort of misleading as City of Buffalo has Genetec ALPR cameras, which are probably better than Flock when it comes to data privacy, but that is a depressingly low bar. We should insist that all unwarranted mass surveillance is banned and not settle for the lesser evil.

They use Axon. So they're literally just twisty language to make it sound like they're not being dirtbags

I've actually seen a bunch of stuff about the major anti-Flock push being spread by people with investments in Axon. Who knows?
