Ex Flock employee here... the first part may have changed, but private organizations (HOAs, mostly) can also have Flock deployments, and are not subject to the same sharing restrictions.

Also, image recognition does a lot more, it can identify vehicles by mismatched panel colors, roof racks, trailer hitches, bumper stickers and other factors, too.

Right, sorry, I'm aware that there are private HOA-style Flock deployments too, I'm just talking about the Flock pitch to municipalities.
