It's technically correct, as far as I've read (not an expert!). Just because the police own a limited subset of the data and their copy is deleted after 30 days doesn't prevent flock from stockpiling all the data permanently. It also doesn't stop Flock from having a separate contract, entirely unrelated of course, giving the police access to FlockOS. That platform has all sorts of data from all available sources.
