The city of Winona has decided not to replace its Flock cameras after they were stolen. The cameras, which were used for license plate reading, were cut down and taken sometime between July 29 and August 1. The Winona Police Department had found the cameras to be a useful tool in investigating various cases.

However, concerns about privacy and data misuse had been raised by residents. Further details about the decision and the impact of the camera thefts are available from the Winona Police Department and local news sources, including KSTP 5 Eyewitness News.
