https://www.404media.co/city-learns-flock-accessed-cameras-in-childrens-gymnastics-room-as-a-sales-pitch-demo-renews-contract-anyway/ Does your company want to give them full access to see whatever you're doing? Also, your legal department should know that all of this footage is subject to discovery. Do you have control over retention? (Spoiler: no, you don't, "deleted" footage is still retained: https://arstechnica.com/google/2026/02/google-recovers-deleted-nest-video-in-high-profile-abduction-case/ )

Another one https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/may/02/flock-police-surveillance-tech-birds-iran-press-freedom >Some police officers also seem to be using Flock data to stalk their exes, partners and potential love interests. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, recently conducted an analysis of media reports and found at least 14 cases across the US where cops are alleged to have accessed ALPR data to “to keep tabs on their romantic interests, including current partners, exes, and even strangers who unwittingly caught their eye in public”.
