Law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin are increasingly deploying Flock cameras to aid in crime-solving amidst staffing shortages. These cameras capture license plates and vehicle details, matching them against databases of stolen or wanted vehicles, and are credited with solving more crimes. However, concerns about privacy and oversight are mounting, highlighted by an incident where a Menasha police officer allegedly misused the system to track an individual. Flock Safety maintains the technology captures only publicly viewable information, logs all searches for auditability, and deletes images after 30 days, emphasizing its design to prevent abuse. Despite these assurances, communities like Verona have opted against renewing contracts due to public pushback, underscoring the tension between public safety needs and privacy rights.
