Wisconsin Cities Withdraw from Flock Camera Network Due to Privacy Concerns and Diminished Value

Several cities and towns in Wisconsin are withdrawing from agreements with Flock, a company providing automated license plate cameras, citing privacy concerns and a decrease in the network's overall value. Dane County, a significant user with a contract for 24 cameras, voted to cut $80,000 in funding and banned further expenditures on the system after citizen complaints and concerns from privacy experts.
