Winona's 8 Flock Safety license plate cameras were stolen and poles cut overnight, leaving a $24,000 gap and no suspects.

    I’m pretty sure Flock cameras just… Do that sometimes. Nothing to look into, just a simple design flaw is all.

    Replacing the stolen license plate readers will cost Winona roughly $24,000 total.

    That’s one possible response to them being removed, I suppose.

    False sense of security.
    Automated system that cannot protect itself (I’m not mad tho).

    But why the city needs to pay for the new cameras?
    Who is the owner? No insurance?

      In a lot of cases, from what I’ve heard, the local police pay Flock to put them cameras up, then continue to pay Flock to utilize them. From Flock’s perspective it’s an insanely good business model.

      From the perspective of a citizen who’s paying for it, I hope everyone working for Flock d- actually, never mind.

      When I think of an automated system that can protect itself, ED-209 comes to mind for some reason.

    Are taking any bets on how long it takes Flock to come out with a statement indirectly or even directly blaming youtubers like Benn Jordan for this?

    Police are pretty much helpless against anyone who doesn’t drive, has friends and a pair of walkie-talkies.
