Flock Cameras Under Fire in Franklin County | Pittsburgh News

In Franklin County, Pennsylvania, tensions are rising over Flock cameras—three more were vandalized Sunday night, following similar attacks before July 4th, including one replaced with a tiny American flag. These license-plate readers help police track stolen vehicles and wanted suspects, credited with recovering 12 cars and alerting on over 1,500 fugitives last year. But critics argue they violate privacy and infringe on Fourth Amendment rights, rallying online to oppose them. Supporters say the tech is vital for solving crimes and locating missing persons, with Flock claiming thousands found last year. Authorities are investigating the vandalism, while opponents plan a protest this Saturday—fueling a heated local debate.
