Summary
Salem’s pulling the plug on Flock Safety cameras—shutting down existing license plate readers and refusing to renew the contract, citing serious data privacy concerns. While the tech helped solve major crimes, including hit-and-runs and missing persons cases, city officials say the lack of clear data ownership and safeguards is unacceptable. Joining Salem, other Massachusetts towns like Framingham and Cambridge are making similar moves, pushing for surveillance systems that keep communities safe without compromising privacy.
