Florida county won’t investigate sketchy Flock cameras removed by mystery owners
St. Lucie County found 12 mystery Flock cameras without proper permits during a countywide removal initiative. Five cameras were later claimed by local police departments, though neither Flock nor the departments confirmed who authorized their installation. A police department mistakenly advised that multiple cameras could be registered under one permit, violating the county's individual permit requirement. Residents remain concerned about where the collected surveillance data may have been stored or used.
