• What's behind the Flock camera controversy? (northeastern.edu) — Framingham has ended its contract with Flock Safety's license plate reader cameras after residents, including Kait Merritt-O'Toole, raised strong privacy and misuse concerns. The story explains how Flock's nationwide data network works, why experts warn about insider abuse and over‑policing, and how Framingham's pushback fits into a broader national debate over surveillance technology and local safeguards.
