2. Really it's almost public data.

Can an individual buy a flock camera and run it capturing car and license data? I’d say yes if the can acquire the camera. The same as anyone can go set up a video camera and capture car and license plate data and in turn database and sell it. There isn’t a right to privacy in public.

I’m torn on flock. We have them the last few years in our neighborhood and for the first time in my decades here they catch criminals. Car thieves used to come in and break into 20 cars in a night but infrequently. Now those thievery rings have been broken up the same with burglary because of the cameras.
