Lexington's Surveillance Debate | Lexington News

Lexington’s Flock cameras—125 of them since 2022—are sparking a heated mayoral race: incumbent Linda Gorton credits them with recovering $5M in stolen cars, seizing over 100 weapons, and locating 32 missing persons, while promising strict safeguards and now forming an external review panel.

This tech showdown is becoming a defining issue in Lexington’s election. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
