- Flock provides police with a coaching guide on how to pitch its license plate reader technology to city councils, even amid public opposition.
- The guide advises police to avoid debating whether the technology constitutes mass surveillance and instead reframe the discussion around governance and community safety.
- Flock encourages police to build support early by briefing city managers and council members before public meetings, and to use a carefully scripted presentation.
- The guide suggests reframing financial discussions by focusing on the cost of unresolved crime rather than the price of the cameras.
