Killingworth becomes the 2nd Connecticut town to disable its Flock cameras
Killingworth switched off its four Flock cameras after residents raised privacy concerns and officials questioned the cost. First Selectman Eric Couture said flatly that the cameras "had not added any value to local policing efforts." The town had budgeted $14,600 a year to license four of them. It follows Windsor, the first Connecticut town to pull the plug: Windsor temporarily disabled its cameras in February and voted in June to end its Flock contract for good, after its 16 cameras were found to have shared locally collected data with law enforcement agencies nationwide before access was restricted.
