Texas Governor Abbott blocks funding for more Flock cameras
The Verge 1 month ago 24
Texas Governor Greg Abbott froze state spending on Flock AI surveillance cameras amid backlash and a Texas Tribune investigation. The investigation said Texas spent over $30 million on Flock cameras, with much of the funding coming from a $1 fee added to insurance policies. As a result, the state will pause additional payments for the cameras while privacy and misuse concerns continue to drive scrutiny.
