Flock cameras in the city had already been broken and vandalized, leading police to disable and remove the cameras to prevent further damage on August 20, before the program’s suspension became official, local media reports . Despite the suspension, almost a full month later, on September 17, Flock submitted the offending work order, which led to this latest controversy.
We don’t know when Flock reinstalled the cameras, but Dayton citizens had already complained and reported spotting the two Flock cameras, leading to the September 29 Facebook post. The local government further stated that the Dayton Police Department had been informed and ordered to remove the cameras.
It is unclear what happened in the chain of communication from when the license plate reader program was suspended and canceled its contract to notify Flock to cease work orders; either Flock defiantly ignored the orders or instructions had not reached the people responsible for installing the cameras; either way, this could be another blow to Flock's reputation.
