Flock Cameras Under Fire in Park Ridge | Chicago News

Evanston and Oak Park canceled their deals, while Arlington Heights renewed with harsher penalties. Critics question the need given falling car thefts and spotlight misuse: a Texas sheriff tracked an abortion seeker across state lines, and Illinois officials found Flock illegally shared data with immigration. Local aldermen are demanding accountability, even as residents flood officials with complaints about privacy risks and unintended consequences.
