A police department's use of automated license plate readers has raised questions about privacy. The cameras, provided by a company called Flock, are used to capture still photos of license plates. They do not record video or audio.

Details about the program were shared with city officials, who were told that the technology is not new. The city has a two-year agreement with Flock, which includes the use of fixed and mobile cameras. Further information about the program, including the number of cameras in use and their locations, is available from the source.
