Grand jury declines to indict Ohio man charged with destroying Flock camera

A grand jury in Ohio declined to indict a man charged with vandalizing a Flock automatic license plate reader camera, leading to the dismissal of charges against him. The decision reflects growing national backlash against Flock's surveillance technology, with dozens of cameras being vandalized across the country and critics arguing the company's safeguards against law enforcement misuse are insufficient. Over 100 cases of police abuse of the license plate reader data have been documented, prompting calls for warrant requirements before accessing the data.
