• Residents call on Greenville City Council to review Flock camera usage (greenvilleonline.com) — Mauldin residents should know their police department recently fired officers for misusing Flock license plate cameras, part of a broader Upstate backlash to the technology. Greenville residents are now urging their city council to scale back or remove the cameras, citing privacy, data storage, and oversight concerns as other nearby governments review or suspend use of the system.
