From what I've seen, Flock isn't on the hook for the cost of replacing, the county/local government is the one purchasing them, Flock is making a pretty penny from it.

What does hurt them though is that it's pushing more of these local governments to drop their contract with Flock (and probably move to another company like Axon).
