  "account": "Several US cities are switching from Flock’s ALPR cameras to Axon’s equivalent cameras. This shift is largely due to 404 Media exposing how police used Flock cameras to search for individuals, including those involved in immigration matters. Residents are being asked to share Axon ALPR activity logs to understand how police are using these surveillance cameras and with whom they are sharing the data. Requests for Axon activity reports have been filed with Benton County Sheriff's Office, Falmouth Police Department, Johns Creek Police Department, Ocean Shores Police Department, Pleasanton Police Department, and Red Wing Police Department.",
