A college in Illinois tried to cancel its Flock contact and it refused

Flock's cameras scan license plates as cars pass and share the data with police. Elgin Community College in Illinois asked Flock to remove its six cameras after learning that data was shared with Customs and Border Protection and that access was abused, but Flock refused. Staff covered the lenses with black bags, but workers in an unmarked vehicle removed the covers until the contract expired.
