• Sussex man alleges Sheriff's Department used Flock cameras to retaliate for complaint (gmtoday.com) — A Sussex resident is expanding his federal civil-rights lawsuit, claiming Waukesha County sheriff's deputies misused Flock license-plate cameras to track him in retaliation for filming a traffic stop and filing a complaint. The county disputes his allegations and is seeking to dismiss the new claims, arguing the camera checks were limited and lawful and that officers are protected by qualified immunity.
