Flock CEO claims ALPRs don't record video, contradicting company marketing

Flock's CEO, Garrett Langley, has claimed that the company's automated license plate readers (ALPRs) only capture static images, contradicting previous marketing materials and statements. Flock had previously announced and promoted an upgrade allowing its ALPRs to record live video, a feature that salespeople pitched to cities and was detailed in company blog posts. Evidence from text messages obtained through a public records request suggests that at least one police department, Dunwoody, has activated and used this live video streaming capability. AI
