Texas city charges $2 million for Flock records as agencies make it harder to see how cameras are used

A Texas city is demanding $2 million for public records regarding the usage of Flock surveillance cameras. High invoices and increased challenges in accessing data on how law enforcement agencies utilize these cameras have hindered requests from journalists and privacy advocates. As backlash grows, the costs associated with obtaining public records tracking the deployment and operation of Flock technology by police departments continue to rise, making it harder to monitor surveillance practices.
