## Resource

West Bloomfield police are battling a wave of vandalism targeting Flock license plate cameras—run over, poles cut, gear stolen—despite these devices being crucial in solving crimes from hit-and-runs to missing persons. Designed to capture only plate numbers, not personal data, the cameras spark debate: some see them as essential safety tools, others as invasive surveillance. Police stress that destruction isn’t the answer—and neither is ignoring the tech’s real-world impact on public safety.
