They are all over the place with their communication. I checked specifically when they first announced this partnership. And it turned out that when you share your videos with public safety, it was also being shared to Flock. And only the specific videos you choose to share. So I thought it was a big nothing before all this โ€” just don't share videos with public safety. I never have and never will.

But to walk their cooperation back must mean they got significant complaints and need to do some PR. Or they tried some shit that wasn't spelled out in their privacy statement.
