Emerald Isle's Tech Watch | Greenville News

Emerald Isle is eyeing new tech for its police force — two license plate cameras and a drone — thanks to a $20K donation from a local woman whose boat capsized and says earlier drone access could’ve saved her life. The cameras, from Verkada, would be placed at the bridge’s base and operate on a closed network for tighter control. But privacy concerns are mounting, with commissioners warning about government overreach and potential violations of constitutional rights. Officials counter with strict accountability policies and the threat of job loss for misuse. A final vote is expected at the November Board meeting.
