    My prediction: they are going to change their name and move a lot of their business to multiple subsidiary with different names. Until nobody notices anymore it's all one company formerly known as Flock.

      This is not something you can hide like that, people notice cameras being installed.

        Axon, formerly known as TASER did a reputational name change. Worth mentioning that they are also a flock competitor, but they are not in the headlines anymore.

          There have been news stories of localities canceling their Flock contracts and quietly switching to Axon.

            Some of their customers have even asked them to redesign their cameras so they don't look like Flock cameras.
