Ohio state agencies including workers compensation, fire marshal, and prisons have expanded their use of Flock AI surveillance cameras for investigations, paying $21k-$213k annually; meanwhile cities like Dayton, Columbus, and Cleveland are restricting or withdrawing from Flock contracts over privacy and immigration enforcement concerns.
