In Texas, a network of small cameras has been installed in various locations, including big cities and rural areas. These cameras, produced by Flock Safety, use artificial intelligence to capture vehicle information, including license plates and descriptions. The cameras upload data to a large surveillance database, which can be accessed by law enforcement agencies without a warrant.

This has sparked a backlash, with some calling for greater oversight and regulation of the technology. Further details on the controversy surrounding Flock Safety cameras and the proposed legislation are available from KCBD News.
