Residents were already suspicious of Flock cameras when they knew who was operating them — but here it's a mystery.

Florida cops turn up 11 unauthorized Flock cameras of unknown origin

Florida police have recently uncovered 11 unauthorized Flock cameras of unknown origin, prompting concerns over data collection and privacy. At this point, it remains unclear who is operating these devices and whether they are actively being used. County authorities have given the camera owners 30 days to make themselves known, and may even cover them with plastic bags in the meantime.

Flock itself has taken steps to resolve the issue, reaching out to St. Lucie County officials to clarify the situation as quickly as possible. Residents expressed their unease, with some fearing the potential misuse of the cameras' capabilities. Local shop owner Todd Richter emphasized the importance of revealing the camera operators.

Reddit users echoed similar sentiments, with some suggesting drastic measures, such as cutting down the cameras to identify the operators. However, for now, St. Lucie County officials are hopeful that the camera owners will come forward and reclaim their equipment within the 30-day window.
