The city I work at just ended their contract with them. Monday morning I get to send them a demand to remove them from our ROW within 30 days or we’ll have them removed and fine them $500/camera per day until they pick them up and pay us our expenses related to the removal.
Our police are also bagging the cameras, including the solar panels (so they’ll shut off).
City Council is made of of people who were misled by the “they only read license plates” bullshit. When they realized what they truly are, they decided not to renew the contract. Then a few days ago they took it a step further and decided to suspend it early along with their right-of-way permits.
tl;dr: College told flock to remove the cameras and they refused saying they were within terms of the contract. Any cameras that got bagged were unbagged.

your city sounds cool
I mean, they did still allow the cameras to begin with
I’d take someone willing to learn from a mistake over someone who doubles down though
We’re assuming they didn’t just switch brands.
They did not.

I wouldn’t go that far. It’s an enclave for the mega-rich. I don’t live there - literally every household is millionaires or better.
Humble brag
I drive 90 minutes to work. I’m on a city worker salary.
A good city-worker salary - hence the willingness to drive 90 minutes - but nowhere near enough to be a resident.
What’s replacing them?
My money is on Axon
