Wisconsin Tracks Man Across State Line with Flock Cameras to Arrest Him for Weed

Wisconsin law enforcement used Flock traffic cameras—which record all passing vehicle license plates—to track a man across state lines and arrest him for purchasing legal marijuana in Michigan and bringing it back to Wisconsin, where possession is a misdemeanor. The arrest highlights concerns about police overreach, as the cameras alone couldn't prove criminal intent, yet officers used the man's frequent trips to a "known source state" as justification to intercept and search his vehicle. The case is part of a broader pattern of Flock camera misuse by police, including tracking romantic partners and other dubious surveillance purposes.
