Flock Cameras Under Fire and Defense | Greenville News

Anderson Police Chief Jim Stewart stands firm on Flock camera use, calling it a vital tool for solving crimes — from missing persons to hit-and-runs — despite recent officer firings over misuse. He insists strict protocols govern its deployment, requiring case numbers and crime descriptions to uphold ethical standards. Stewart notes the city already has widespread surveillance in public spaces, positioning Flock as a natural extension that links footage to national databases. In response to privacy concerns, Flock slashed default storage from 30 to 7 days, limiting access strictly to active investigations. Officials also warn that damaging Flock cameras is illegal and will be prosecuted. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
