Florida county won’t investigate sketchy Flock cameras removed by mystery owners

A Florida county discovered unauthorized Flock cameras during a countywide removal effort but will not investigate who owned the suspicious cameras, which have since vanished, according to The Washington Post. St. Lucie County residents remain concerned about the mystery surrounding the camera owners and the data collected, as reported by a 31-year-old resident who petitioned for the cameras' removal.

Out of the 12 cameras found, five were claimed by city law enforcement, but Flock and the city police departments in Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce have not confirmed the source of the guidance.
