The Los Angeles Police Department is ending its agreement with Flock Safety, a company that operates surveillance cameras throughout the city.

LAPD announced that it will allow its agreement with the company to expire Saturday, ending the department’s three-year relationship with the security firm - at least for now.

Flock cameras capture images of vehicles and license plates on roadways. LAPD says the cameras can help track down suspects involved in crimes.

    It seems to me that there would have to be some land use agreement for the space the cameras occupy. Going after those might not be a bad call. They’re frequently in public parkways, so I would imagine that a city that is divesting from them might physically kick them off their land when brought to their attention.

      I hope so. They have not done that in the city where I live despite ending their contrite flock. People need to agitate with their local government to take this additional step.
