What happened
The Utah Civic Compact, a nonprofit group, has urged the Utah Department of Transportation to terminate its contract with Flock Group Inc. The Compact found a clause in the agreement that allows Flock Group to end the contract if it determines the public does not support its activities. The group stated that widespread public outcry regarding privacy concerns has shown Utahns disapprove of the technology.
