Best Practice suggests pulling down and dismantling many Flock devices to verify.

    They seem like an honest lot, I'm sure we can trust their word. After all, those things only look at license plates anyway.

    We can't stop until Flock is dismantled.

    Potentially by hand, one camera at a time.
