📰 News we're reading

• There is little state regulation of Flock cameras in Iowa. That could soon change. (iowapublicradio.org) — Automated Flock license plate cameras in University City are under growing scrutiny as residents and at least one council member question their impact on privacy and immigrant communities. While police credit the cameras with helping hundreds of investigations, local advocates are organizing petitions, and a costly contract extension was pulled from the City Council agenda amid broader statewide debates over regulating this surveillance technology.
