tl;dr: An Ohio grand jury declined to indict Cody Morelock, who was charged with felony vandalism for allegedly destroying a Flock license plate reader camera in Union Township, and the charges were dismissed. The decision comes amid growing backlash against Flock's surveillance network, with dozens of cameras vandalized nationwide, a "De-Flock America Night" planned for Halloween, and over 100 documented cases of police abusing the system. Flock has announced new safeguards, though critics like the EFF call them "cosmetic" and want warrant requirements for data searches. | |
