Flock Cameras Help Locate Stabbing Suspects Across States

A woman remains in critical condition after being stabbed at a Worcester residence in an incident police described as domestic violence. Investigators identified a suspect and searched nearby communities; a brief lockdown at Auburn Middle School followed a cellphone lead, though police later said the suspect may not have been there. Milford police used a Flock license plate reader alert to locate the vehicle, and the suspect was arrested and charged with armed assault with intent to murder. The arrest has been cited by Flock Safety as an example of the technology’s value, while the camera network has also faced criticism over privacy concerns and misuse.
