Henry County Halts Flock Cameras | Roanoke News

Henry County Sheriff Wayne Davis is shutting down 14 Flock cameras amid rising privacy concerns, citing a national trend of police departments canceling contracts with the tech provider. Though the cameras were installed in 2023 with state funding and never reported for misuse, Davis wants to preempt any future issues and ensure deputies use tech responsibly. Residents are divided—some see value but fear exploitation of surveillance. While license plate data may still be recorded, access to it by the department is now blocked, and removal is set to begin soon, signaling a major shift in law enforcement’s approach to digital monitoring.
