Protests over Flock cameras in North Dakota

FARGO, N.D. (NBC, KYMA) - There's growing public push back over police use of Flock surveillance cameras.

Members of local car clubs held protest signs in Fargo, North Dakota, over the weekend, objecting to the use of dozens of flock cameras in their city.

The privately owned nationwide network of cameras is used to track the movement of cars based on features like license plate, make, and model.

They've recently come under fire from Americans across the political spectrum due to concerns over privacy, mistakes and multiple reports of officers misusing the cameras to stalk civilians, including ex-wifes and girlfriends.

A recent report out of Columbus, Ohio, found that more than 15,000 searches may have been linked to immigration enforcement activity.

Already dozens of cities around the U.S. have canceled contracts or stopped using Flock cameras.
