Multiple cities and townships have discontinued use of Flock just to turn around and use the others instead.",

Police can search the data during investigations.\n\nFlock says the system identifies vehicles, not people, does not use facial recognition and usually deletes data after seven days.\n\nLaw enforcement says the cameras have helped find missing people and investigate crimes. Critics warn of privacy risks and misuse.\n\nAn Albany County investigator was recently accused of using Flock data to track an ex-girlfriend and others without authorization. Florida has also banned license plate readers on state highways, while some communities are ending their programs.\n\nThe debate is now about how much surveillance is acceptable for public safety.\n\nWould you want these cameras in your city?\n\nMore security, or too much surveillance?",
