Flock cameras in Wausau covered after contract canceled

Crews covered Wausau’s 20 Flock automatic license plate reader cameras on Monday, two weeks after the city canceled its contract with the company. The city council voted on October 29 to cover the devices. Police Chief Matt Barnes said he was disappointed, describing the cameras as a useful crime-fighting tool, but acknowledged residents’ privacy concerns. He said the department has no current plans to seek another vendor.
