I'm not surprised by the surveilance, but more by the high resolution of these cameras. Surely the storage bill must be immense.


They purge the actual images after some time period but keep the metadata (OCRed plate, other identifying features) I assume forever. From a Flock privacy policy:

> Video Clips captured by the LPR system will automatically be deleted after 30 days; although Images are deleted when no longer needed, the data obtained from the Images may be retained indefinitely.


The price doesn't matter because we all pay it.
