The Flock Scandal: Surveillance, Abused Power and Government Without Accountability

Samuel Trapp follows the nationwide revolt against Flock license-plate surveillance, from Missouri cancellations and Josh Hawley’s inquiry to officers accused of tracking romantic partners. He then examines former officer Marcellis Blackwell’s guilty plea, the death of foster teen Korbin Papadopoulos, IRS property-seizure failures, federal-law-enforcement abuse claims, Camden County accountability disputes, and a proposed Lake-area utility-fee increase that could push a standard connection above $17,000.
