Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar is deploying Flock cameras to crack down on crime, using them to track gang activity, burglaries, and assaults—with tools like vehicle-specific searches for a white Mustang with a red stripe. Installed across 500 locations since May last year, the cameras are helping respond to a surge of thefts in Stone Oak and Champions Estates, totaling over $5 million in stolen goods. But critics—including the ACLU and EFF—warn the system enables mass surveillance without warrants, sparking privacy concerns. While Sheriff Salazar showcased the tech’s investigative power at a town hall, he sidestepped direct debate on civil liberties, answering only pre-approved questions. The push for public safety through surveillance continues to stir controversy over security versus privacy.
