    The attached webinar is worth a watch.

    They are very deep into profiling and estimating crime.

    That's not a good idea in my opinion.

    > The webinar also shows that Flock’s latest public stance — that its ALPR cameras are noninvasive technology, that they take only static images at a single place and time, and that they are primarily used to solve the worst crimes — is wildly misleading.

    I bet they capture video and audio that Flock retains privately, but then send the local agency still images unless they pay a premium.

      they do take it at a single place and time though! 12:00.00, then 12:00.033, then 12:00.066, then 12:00.1....

      I'll go out on a limb and say that's their argument if it goes to court. maybe it's only 5fps instead of 30. It's still the kind of BS the courts need to stop allowing.
