The Sherburne County Sheriff's Office has stopped using Flock cameras due to public concerns. The cameras, which read license plates, were provided by Flock Safety. Authorities found them useful for public safety, but there were issues with how the data was being used.

The decision to end the program was announced on Thursday. By Wednesday morning, the process of shutting down and removing the cameras had begun. The move comes amid growing backlash over the use of such cameras and their data.

Further details on the decision and its implications are available from the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office. The move is part of a larger trend of departments reevaluating their use of Flock cameras and related technology.
