Benn Jordan (@bennjordan): "Flock routinely rewards themselves for being the most transparent company in the industry.

Josh Thomas, Flock Safety: “Ultimately, I would argue that the whole community is our customer.” Flock is holding a conference in ATL this week with police from all over the country about its cameras. Even the location is undisclosed. You & I are not 'the customer' & not welcome.
