• Sterling to discontinue use of Flock cameras (ourquadcities.com) — Sterling officials are immediately shutting down the city's Flock automated license plate reader cameras and ending the contract, citing evolving concerns around how such technology can be misused nationwide. Police say the system helped solve crimes locally and was tightly audited, but they'll now look for other crime-fighting tools that better balance safety, privacy, and legal protections for Sterling residents.
