• Second Collin County City Reconsiders Flock Cameras Amid Privacy Concerns (localprofile.com) — Princeton's mayor wants the city council to pause installation of newly arrived Flock license plate cameras so officials can reconsider privacy and data‑sharing concerns. The move follows Wylie's recent decision to halt automatic renewal of its own Flock contract, and could shape how much vehicle surveillance technology is used – and who can access that data – within Princeton's city limits.
