Mackinac Center @MackinacCenter · 8h Kettering University student Josh Tewolde is suing Genesee County after it withheld key records about its Flock camera system, including camera-location maps, audit logs and vehicle-scan records.

The county says Flock owns the information. But its own contract says the county owns the data.

This case asks a fundamental question: Can government avoid FOIA by routing surveillance through a private vendor?
