semiquaver | on: All of Winona Police Department's Flock cameras cut down and stolen

  > and stolen
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.

License to use but responsible for loss

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.
