📰 News we're reading

• Flock cameras to be discussed at next Morrilton City Council meeting (kvom.com) — Cabot residents should note that our city is among several Arkansas communities that have suspended or ended contracts for Flock license-plate cameras after privacy concerns from residents. While Morrilton prepares a public presentation on its continued use of the technology, cities like Cabot, Pea Ridge, Mayflower, and Searcy are moving away from the system amid ongoing debate over safety versus surveillance.
