Isn't it obvious? There's way more profit in building a Torment Nexus.

  do not have the money to invest in developing a camera system that is sovereignly owned by the city
That would render the city liable for handling the data which is already politically volatile. In America, if it's a commercial entity doing it then there is no liability and you can just fold the company if something bad happens.

Well according to Flock, the data is actually owned by the city and they are already responsible. This is just private sector loopholing

And in reality, it's a handwave. The city will refer you to Flock, and then Flock will cancel the contract, but leave the cameras up, so now there's no customer. Funny that.
