• Police say Flock is invaluable. But as misuse mounts, many wonder how to rein in the surveillance system (dailyherald.com) — Manhattan's police chief says the village's 15 Flock license plate cameras have sped up local investigations and helped find missing residents, even as misuse scandals elsewhere spur calls for tighter controls. The story details new safeguards, proposed Illinois legislation, and how nearby towns are suspending or rethinking Flock, raising questions about how Manhattan should balance safety with privacy and oversight.
