• No plans to alter Flock contract in Plymouth, despite high-profile incident (kare11.com) — Plymouth officials say they have no plans to change their contract with Flock's automated license plate reader system, despite a wrongful traffic stop here that drew national attention. City leaders are reviewing Flock's new privacy and data-retention options but are keeping a 30-day data window and declining interviews for now, leaving current camera practices in place for residents.
