• Law agencies using more public spy equipment (therecordlive.com) — Orange residents should know that about 20 Flock license plate cameras are already operating in the city, with many more approved at churches, businesses, and other sites across town. County leaders and residents are debating whether these tools improve safety or threaten privacy, while local law enforcement explains how data is accessed and monitored. The story also notes broader surveillance systems, including Ring cameras and other tools used in Orange County.
