I’m sure flock’s agreement with the Winona Police Department makes clear that they are only purchasing a license to use these cameras, so in fact the department’s cameras have not been stolen at all, they’ve merely been prevented from enjoying licensed use.
- kotaKat 3mo ago> That cost falls directly on the Winona Police Department’s budget. Nope, Flock bills out the ass for replacement cost right to the taxpayer. The grift continues! Alternatively, "defunding the police" by way of smashing Flocks is another view point, from what I've heard.

- s1artibartfast 3mo agoWhy would you think that and be so confident?
- semiquaver 3mo agoBecause it’s a matter of public record. Thousands of executed contracts between flock safety and its customers are public. Here’s one which makes clear that flock retains ownership and is actually entering into a hybrid hardware lease and concurrent services agreement. https://53024.org/documents https://53024.org/documents

- semiquaver 2mo agoOf course. Did I suggest otherwise? I merely made a (to me) amusing observation about the modern, somewhat confusing nature of so-called “ownership.”
- s1artibartfast 2mo agoHumm, it's not particularly confusing to me. I guess i just dont get it. When I rent an apartment or car, I still refer to it as mine without conflating the two. Is this an autistic thing?
- semiquaver 2mo agoMine or yours?
