Try reading to the end of the paragraph.
> The OPD didn’t share information directly with the federal agencies. Rather, other California police departments searched Oakland’s system on behalf of federal counterparts more than 200 times — providing reasons such as “FBI investigation” for the searches — which appears to mirror a strategy first reported by 404 Media, in which federal agencies that don’t have contracts with Flock turn to local police for backdoor access.
- toomuchtodo 1y agoShoutout to 404 Media’s reporting on this, it’s causing states to take action against Flock. I’m unsure if oversight would’ve kicked in without this reporting.
