📰 News we're reading

• Local communities contemplate future Flock usage (gmtoday.com) — Brookfield officials are actively reexamining the city's use of Flock automated license plate reader cameras, with a council committee set to recommend whether to keep, change, or end the program before its 2027 renewal. As nearby communities drop Flock or face lawsuits over privacy and warrant requirements, Brookfield leaders are weighing data safeguards, oversight, and residents' civil liberties against the technology's public safety benefits.
   

• Wisconsin drug sting turns into bumper car chase: VIDEO (abc7chicago.com) — Brookfield residents may notice extra police attention after a recent drug sting turned into a dangerous bumper-car-style chase in a local parking lot. Drone and bodycam video show officers surrounding a suspect's car before he rammed multiple squad vehicles. Prosecutors have charged the 19-year-old Milwaukee man with reckless endangerment and cocaine possession, and he's being held on significant cash bail.
