While Flock claims strong safeguards and is open to collaboration, LAPD insists on clearer data ownership, security, and accountability before moving forward. Unlike Axon and Motorola, whose contracts remain active due to better safeguards, Flock’s technology has led to wrongful stops and unauthorized data access, prompting the police commission to halt new installations and call for community input. This mirrors similar issues faced by Ventura County, where an audit revealed hundreds of unauthorized accesses — a situation Flock blames on possible bugs or human error, though officials deny internal involvement.
