Yeah.
I mean, it's helpful for tracking down stolen cars, finding a missing person.
I mean, we've all gotten those amber alerts on our text messages where it says Yeah, like look around for this random Nissan Ultima with this license plate.
It's a lot more effective just to send that message out through a bunch of cameras that have their eyes on the road to find that car.
This is actually an issue for the company.
And I talked about that with the CEO.
You know, in the early days when they were working with neighborhood associations, it was private streets.
They could just put them up.
As they started working with police, they still had this kind of move fast and break thing, Silicon Valley approach, where they would just go out and throw these cheap cameras up.
And that got them in trouble with departments of transportation where you were supposed to get a permit to be, you know, putting cameras.
Cameras and polls up on public roads.
And so Langley told me, yes, they made some mistakes, but now they have figured out the right way to do this.
Yes, it is just a camera on a stick, but now it's a hundred and twenty thousand cameras on sticks and they're all connected.
And that is really what makes Flock so valuable.
It's that they're building this network.
It's eyes on the road across the whole country.
And that's something we really haven't had before at this scale.
And that's why police want to work with this company.
So local police departments, when they sign up for Flock, essentially set their privacy settings.
They can decide if they want their network of cameras to only be available to their department or if they want to be able to make it available to the whole state or the whole nation.
