• Scottsdale keeps cameras on despite 'Flock fury' (eastvalleytribune.com) — Scottsdale is keeping its 85 Flock license-plate cameras running even as nearby cities shut theirs off over privacy concerns, and the city appears locked into a multimillion-dollar contract through at least mid-2027. Local officials are quietly preparing a council presentation and possible ordinance while residents, candidates, and police sharply disagree over whether the system is vital for safety or an intrusive mass-surveillance tool.
   

• Frankie Muniz shares family update after 'rock bottom' confession (star-telegram.com) — A Scottsdale-based Frankie Muniz is opening up about rebuilding his life while focusing on co-parenting his young son amid divorce. After describing recent emotional struggles, he's been sharing hopeful updates, from local outings like an Arizona Diamondbacks game to a family trip from Scottsdale to Los Angeles, emphasizing his commitment to becoming a better father.
