Pretty happy to live here.

At the end of June the Illinois Secretary of State ran an audit of Flock data that showed that Flock had improperly shared ALPR data with the feds. In August Evanston city council shut down all the Flock cameras and told Flock they were terminating the contract.

Flock put them back.

Evanston immediately sent them a Cease and Desist and wrapped them all in black plastic. Flock took them back down.

Except they left two.

In March our local paper noticed, asked the city WTF‽ and the city made Flock take them down.

There seems to have been a sudden drop in 3d scanner prices. A few months ago entry level was upwards of $600, and mostly above $1K. Now I'm suddenly seeing ads for 3d scanners in the $200 range. Are these new products crap? Did a patent run out? Anyone know what's going on?
