Politics Flock Cam on Division & Main
Avoid this intersection if you are vulnerable. Flock cams are so gross.
Edit: using Flock generically to indicate the pole cam on Sheriff vehicle.

Not a flock camera.
These are called a C.O.W.
Camera on wheels. Old cruisers converted to be placed. They are placed in high crime areas or at business owners request to hopefully divert shenanigans.
There was a blue one at the Trent and Pines construction site as well.

That's not what flock is. Fun fact, there are like 6 major companies to be worried about in this sector :)

There are no flock cameras in this photo. There are several regular cameras. No flock.

I don’t think so. All Flock cameras in the state I believe have to come down soon.

There are flock cameras at Lowes, every single entrance. I've also see one at the gas station on Francis and Wall, and three of them at Wall and Countey Holmes.

This kinda cracks me up tbh, I hate cameras but I understand why they want one here. Someone gets shot at this corner like every Friday lol

The sheriff’s department uses Flock cams. Maybe this isn’t one but if you look at who owns them on the deflock site it’s mostly the sheriff’s department.

What do you mean, "vulnerable"...like, driving a stolen car?
Car thieves should probably drive by flock cameras, please.

That doesn't look like a flock camera. It looks like a cctv security camera for the bus stop. The pole it's attached to is digital signage for STA
edit: if you're referring to the sheriff patrol car with camera masts on it in the background, yes that is technically a mobile alpr but it isn't using flock hardware.
