Flock Safety cameras need constitutional guardrails before further deployment, Tennessee mayor argues

Mayor Glenn Jacobs called for a nationwide pause on Flock surveillance cameras, arguing that the technology raises constitutional and privacy concerns requiring updated regulatory frameworks. He noted that this advanced technology goes beyond conventional license plate readers, and law enforcement tools must conform to the Constitution. The debate is occurring across states, including West Virginia, where lawmakers are questioning if such systems violate citizens' Fourth Amendment right to privacy.
