📰 News we're reading

• Local police stick by Flock cameras (sovanow.com) — Automated license plate cameras remain fully in use across Mecklenburg County, including during a 2025 officer-involved shooting investigation in Bracey, even as neighboring counties shut theirs down. Local police and the sheriff’s office defend the Flock system as a tightly regulated investigative tool, citing solved thefts and missing-person cases, while a small number of residents raise privacy and surveillance concerns.
