    The fuck you mean “legally allowed to remove them”? You put them up, you’re paying to use them, just take them down and don’t use them!

      Contractors put them up, a private contract is in place, tampering with the 3rd party equipment could make the city liable. It’s incredibly dumb that someone signed the agreement in the first place, but also every city near me has done so and my own city is adding more constantly. So they have to get lawyers to break the contract and get contractors to come remove the equipment. Sigh.

      I’m sure they signed some really stupid long-term contract with Flock, which may limit their ability to take them down and/or stop paying for them.

          Flock is part of the authoritarian state apparatus. I’m sure you would get a visit from ICE or the cops. They have these things fucking pointed at each other there are so many in my city. I just wish the meth heads would start dismantling them for parts. Fuck flock and ICE.
