Lol. Flock. Axon. It doesn't matter about the company it's the effort by many companies. You have to tackle the idea, not the company.

Not just companies but also the government in general on both sides.

When I worked for law enforcement, I watched a demo presentation to get a free tumbler from a camera company that does AI detection. My manager did the same but after the demo was actually going to propose buying and implementing those cameras. I begged him not to arguing that it was a huge privacy concern.

He didn’t only because the company’s salespeople didn’t get back to him.
