Flock Cameras Under Fire in Dallas | Dallas News
Description
Dallas police defend their fleet of 600 Flock cameras, insisting they’re vital for solving crimes and locating missing persons—not random surveillance. Officers can track vehicle movements via license plate, but only with a specific investigative purpose. Despite claims of strict oversight and annual audits, public backlash has surged, even sparking vandalism of 26 cameras. Police say data is retained for a full year to catch delayed connections between vehicles and crimes, and warn removing the system would be a major setback. They hope real-world case successes will win public trust.
