Dayton, Minnesota voted 5 to 0 to cancel its Flock contract.
August 25.
Three weeks later Flock generated a maintenance work order.
The city replied the next day. Program is on hold. No work orders.
Flock reinstalled two cameras anyway.
And put them in service.
The city found out because residents noticed cameras back on the poles.
Flock took five days to even acknowledge the cancellation.
Then said removing the equipment would take 60 days.
Installing them took a work order.
Removing them takes two months.
Plymouth had the same problem.
Flock ignored the cancellation notice for almost two weeks.
So the police chief walked over and unplugged the cameras himself.
Crystal's police chief removed the cameras and the poles personally.
They're sitting in a police garage now.
Waiting for Flock to pick them up.
Like a vendor who dropped off a couch and never came back for it.
Flock's statement says they respect the cities' decisions.
And they're working to have the cameras removed.
Reports can't say if Flock ignored the order or if the message just never reached the install team.
Which is somehow the better version.
Either the company defied the city.
Or the company doesn't know which of its own customers cancelled.
Their CEO says the backlash isn't real.
Five Minnesota cities just voted it into existence.
And the cameras kept coming back like a bad subscription.
The *entire point* of this scene is that Bryan’s paternal instincts overwhelm his survival instincts. It sets up the tragic irony that underpins the whole movie: the traits which would have made him a good father are the reason he’ll never become one.
Greece is closer to Africa than Dallas is to Austin, but illiterate C students who barely skimmed the Cliff Notes version of The Odyssey in HS, who wouldn't be able to point out Greece on a map, and who fundamentally don't understand the concept of artistic license, are triggered
