Amazon scraps deal with Flock Safety after backlashAPAmazon’s smart doorbell maker Ring has terminated a partnership with police surveillance tech company Flock Safety. A Flock Safety license plate reader keeps watch along a public road in Houston, Texas, on Oct. 16 last year. “Following a comprehensive review, we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated,” Ring’s statement said. Still, Flock says it does not own the data captured by its cameras, its customers do. Beyond the Flock partnership, Amazon has faced other surveillance concerns over its Ring doorbell cameras.
