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?

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

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.
