Flock Camera Systems

Fourteen cities and counties have dropped Flock contracts, and Laredo will ask voters to weigh in during a referendum in May.

At their meeting this morning, Lubbock County Commissioners are expected to discuss whether to support an independent investigation by the Texas Rangers into “payroll irregularities." Texas is limiting the expansion of Flock license plate cameras, amid a growing national backlash over privacy and misuse concerns. Texas Public Radio’s David Martin Davies reports on funding for the cameras. Road construction will be starting today as part of the Broadway Street Reconstruction Project and is planned to finish by Dec. 1.

Intersections around Abilene Christian University have a new fixture: automated license plate readers.

The pushback against automated license plate readers is growing, and it's not just one organization driving the movement. Elected officials, civil rights groups and regular citizens are working together to get the technology removed in the Austin area.
