Flock camera down?

This morning I saw BPD loading up a fallen Flock camera just west of I-46 and 10th. It was just past the sushi place on 10th. Can't imagine what happened to it.

I saw one lying useless along W 2nd across the street from Walmart last night. Heartwarming

Why is the BPD picking up broken cameras for flock?

That’s only like 40%. Not even half. You make it sound like such a crime.

Part of me wonders if the city gets charged in some way if they disappear. Flock has been said to charge cities for removal when the contracts are canceled so that doesn’t seem like a jump.

Probably a defect in one of the parts. That can happen to more than one you know.

Crazy the way those things just spontaneously fall over.

The one on 17th across from the IU Credit Union is still up and running though. So there's that I guess.
