• The technology records 20 billion images each month. The CT backlash is broad and powerful. (courant.com) — South Windsor's town council has ordered police to shut off Flock Safety license plate cameras within 60 days, ending their use after months of privacy and oversight concerns. The decision, driven by strong local opposition, places South Windsor at the center of a statewide and national debate over AI-powered surveillance, data sharing, and how much privacy residents are willing to trade for potential crime-fighting benefits.
