Several towns and cities in Wisconsin have recently withdrawn from contracts with Flock, a company that provides automated license plate cameras, citing privacy and trust concerns. As municipalities exit the network, the effectiveness of the remaining cameras diminishes. For example, Dane County, which includes Madison, had a contract for 24 cameras but voted on April 16 to eliminate $80,000 in funding for the system due to citizen complaints and privacy expert warnings.
