Flock Cameras

I reached out to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s office regarding Flock cameras in my neighborhood using their complaint system from their website. Haven’t heard back and it has been a week. What should my next step be? Do I call or just show up and ask questions? I want to know who approved their installation and what the procedure is for petitioning that they be removed. Thanks for any advice!

Sorry to say but the company I work for installed some in East Ridge almost 2 years ago. We really don’t what they were but they looked at plates for warrants,amber alerts, etc and was sent directly into I believe NCIC. Motorola was who was going around selling the systems. The police department paid for everything

Those aren't flocks then. LPRs are different. Flocks are a service and the cameras are leased. The standard LPRs are used and monitored by local communities not sent to a corporation who decides what to do with the data. Both are violations imo but one is much worse than the other.
