They’re just switching to Axon.
Gadget ReviewCities Are Ditching Flock Safety Cameras – Then Hiring Axon to Do the Same JobCities replacing Flock Safety cameras with Axon plate readers are swapping vendors, not ending surveillance — and only state law can stop the cycle.Replying to @reddig33@lemmy.world
Funnily enough with Axon they seem to surveil less than half as much as they did previously, giving the anti-flock movement an actual sense of accomplishment. If they continue to fight against Axon, the next vendor will be even smaller.
But yeah they need to outlaw this anyway or it will keep creeping back.

Not discounting the fight against this, but I’m guessing the next move is to make these less known to the public and in places that are harder to remove them.
