## Resource

Monongalia County’s new Flock Safety cameras are scanning every vehicle, amassing half a million images in just 30 days — yet only 101 were ever reviewed. While officials insist deputies must verify matches before acting and data is scrubbed after 21 days, the system’s blanket surveillance raises serious constitutional alarms. It turns every driver into a passive subject of government monitoring, potentially violating privacy rights. Worse, the “hot list” policy may allow suspects to be flagged without warrants, sidestepping judicial oversight. The real question: should the government track vehicles — and everyone else — without a warrant, and what laws must evolve to protect citizens in this age of pervasive surveillance?
