• Caledonia votes to end Flock camera contract (spectrumnews1.com) — Caledonia's Village Board has unanimously voted to defund and end its contract with Flock license plate reader cameras, with removal planned by year's end. Local police and officials say they still value license plate reader technology, but want alternatives after concerns about how Flock handles data, and some residents are now calling for more transparency about past camera use.
