Forum Editorial Defends Flock Cameras After Police Solved Multiple Crimes in 2 Weeks
3 articles · Updated · INFORUM · Aug 22
Summary
Multiple crimes solved in the past two weeks are cited by a Forum editorial defending Flock license-plate cameras used by police in Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo.
The piece argues the cameras help track potential lawbreakers more efficiently than traditional patrols, pointing to theft cases and suspects wanted from other states.
It frames the backlash as outdated in a society already monitored through phones, credit cards, social media, doorbell cameras and airport facial-recognition systems.
The editorial says public demand for safety over privacy will likely expand camera-based policing further, potentially reducing the need for some patrol officers over time.
