Episode Details

Lubbock’s new Flock Cameras are revolutionizing crime-solving — snapping license plate photos, not recording faces or audio — and have already helped crack major cases including murders. With 14 fixed cameras already deployed (plus county ones), they’re strictly an alert tool: only flagging plates tied to active investigations or missing persons, with data auto-deleted after 30 days unless needed. Police Chief Seth Herman insists these aren’t surveillance tools, but vital investigative aids — and any misfire triggers a multi-layered review process. Tampering with them is a serious crime, and the department’s vigilant to ensure they’re used ethically to protect, not monitor, citizens.
