Texas constable disables Flock Safety cameras after Hood County cancels surveillance contract

Hood County, Texas, officials have cancelled their contract with Flock Safety, a surveillance camera company, and requested a refund along with equipment retrieval. A local constable personally unplugged and covered three of the cameras in protest. The constable openly voiced opposition to what he described as warrantless surveillance of residents. The incident has drawn attention to a growing national debate over the use of automated surveillance tools by law enforcement. Critics argue that such technologies raise serious concerns about privacy rights and civil liberties.
