• Racine council ends Flock camera contract in 30 days — but only because the mayor broke a tie (racinecountyeye.com) — Racine's mayor has cast a tie-breaking vote to end the city's Flock license-plate camera contract in 30 days, shifting how nearby communities think about this technology. The Racine County Eye notes it is also tracking Flock and ALPR use in Mount Pleasant and Caledonia, where the current status isn't yet confirmed, so residents should watch for potential local implications on policing and privacy.
