Curious how/why all this negative attention is focused directly on the Flock brand (current example notwithstanding)?

Seems like if I were a competitor of Flock I'd be pretty happy right now and all this negative press is making them artificially cheap to buyout right now.

Motorola/Vigilant, Rekor, Leonardo/ELSAG, and Axon are huge companies making mint off the same thing and no once in 20 years have I seen this level of attention... not on the overarching issue of surveillance-state-ing, but of one particular company.

Flock has over 80% of the US market.

You've seen this level of attention on a market leader before: on Microsoft, on Adobe, and others.
