• Cumberland Council Votes 6-1 to End Flock Camera Use (upriseri.com) — Cumberland's Town Council has voted 6-1 to end the town's use of Flock automated license plate reader cameras, authorizing Mayor Jeffrey Mutter to terminate the contract. After residents raised strong privacy and data‑misuse concerns, most councilors reversed earlier support for the system, though no removal timeline was set. Locals are urging officials to ensure cameras are fully shut off and not replaced.
