## Resource

Flock cameras are sparking heated debate in Massachusetts towns like Norwood and North Attleboro, where police chiefs tout them as lifesaving tools—helping locate a missing teen and potentially solving cold cases.

A public hearing looms in North Attleboro as communities weigh tech’s promise against its perils. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
