Episode 76: What the Flock Happened? Dutchess County Pulls the Plug on Its Cameras

Packed forum, fast reversal: Daily Catch reporter Athan Yanos on how Dutchess County's 65 Flock license plate cameras went dark in two days

Show notes

In less than 48 hours last week, Dutchess County's network of 65 Flock license plate reader cameras went from bipartisan law enforcement tool to switched off. A packed community forum in Pleasant Valley drew more than 100 people, and about 30 of them spoke out against the system. By Friday, District Attorney Anthony Parisi, Sheriff Kirk Imperati and County Executive Sue Serino had all withdrawn their support.

Daily Catch reporter Athan Yanos joins editor Emily Sachar to explain what happened.
