In Temple, a neighboring city, residents have expressed concerns on social media about the growing number of Flock camera systems. These cameras are used by the police department to detect vehicles potentially connected to crimes by reading license plates on major roads.

The data collected is retained for 30 days. Further details about the program and its impact are available through a story featuring comments from Temple's Police Chief.
