Sterling Heights council demands Flock camera transparency amid privacy debate

Sterling Heights City Council is calling for greater oversight of the city’s Flock license plate reader program, demanding a full year of LOGS as privacy concerns continue to grow across Metro Detroit. The city operates 24 Flock cameras that capture license plates and vehicle information on passing cars. While police say the technology has been a powerful crime-fighting tool, some council members -- and residents -- want to know exactly how the data is being used and who has access to it.
