A police officer's defense of Flock surveillance cameras

Original: A Cop's Case for Flock

A serving police officer has made the public case for Flock, the automated license plate reader company whose cameras now sit on poles across many American towns. The argument is that the cameras solve real crimes quickly, while critics see a mass surveillance network built on false leads and function creep.
