Mount Vernon is reviewing its Flock policy after a packed council meeting
Mount Vernon, the county seat of the Knox County in Ohio whose sheriff has just declined Flock, already has cameras of its own inside the city. Residents filled a council meeting on 27 July to raise transparency, public oversight, data access and misuse, and the city began reviewing its policy in response. The two decisions sit a few miles apart and go different ways, which is the ordinary texture of this: a county can decline the technology while the city inside it keeps operating it, and neither outcome tells you much about the other. Unresolved, and recorded as such.
