A cannabis dispensary had a surveillance camera pointed directly at its entrance, sparking a dispute. The camera, a Flock model, was installed by the city as part of an original agreement that allowed the dispensary to open. However, after customer concerns were raised, the dispensary pushed back against the camera's presence.
The company took a public stance, posting a sign to block the camera's view, which led to a viral standoff. A new agreement has since been reached, resulting in the camera's removal.
Further details about the dispute and the agreement are available, including the history of the dispensary's opening and the original settlement with the city.
