Some Massachusetts police chiefs fight to save Flock cameras as others pull the plug
>Police chiefs in North Attleboro, Norwood and Quincy are all coming forward to support the network of automated cameras that record license plates and other vehicle information. They describe the system as a vital investigative tool.
>“Let me be perfectly clear about this system: It is not a surveillance tool,” McQuade told the Town Council earlier this week. “The North Attleboro Police Department does not use this system to watch the residents of North Attleboro … We do not use it to build case files on law-abiding citizens.”
>“Those plates that were not searched have been deleted from our system,” the chief said. “Only criminals or those who wish to shield them should have a fear of this tool.”

Felt like sharing this since it was recently uploaded and is the second part of these interviews. It was originally supposed to be a debate between Jason Poulos and Auchincloss, but Jake declined. Hope there are more people who are willing to support Jason Poulos after watching this.
