In Sterling Heights, a debate is underway about surveillance technology and privacy. City council members are seeking more information about the automated license plate reader system, including how it is used and who has access to the collected data. Residents have expressed concerns about the Flock cameras, which scan and record license plates, questioning potential violations of privacy rights and misuse of the technology.

Some have voiced worries about their personal data being collected without warrants. Further details about the controversy and the city council's demands for transparency are available from local news sources, including a video report by Evan Sery.
