I guess the scrutiny of being in bed with the fedcops must have been damaging their ability to make money hand over fist in blue states selling cameras to school districts, municipal offices and Karen infested gated communities. I assume some states are also scrutinizing the contracts more since no politician wants to be the guy who enabled the feds to do something the voters in their district really hate.

Why else would they be pulling back?
