Rapper Lil Durk Has Deep Gang Ties; Dad Big Durk Connected to Larry Hoover

Flock cameras are all the rage right now with critics arguing that the cameras are a violation of constitutional rights because they create a detailed record of where ordinary people drive, even when they haven’t committed a crime.

There have been multiple investigations involving officers allegedly using Flock to track ex-partners, coworkers, or other people for improper reasons. One Florida officer is accused of searching for his estranged wife’s vehicle more than 700 times.

Flock cameras are automated license-plate readers (ALPRs). They photograph vehicles and can record things such as the plate number, vehicle characteristics, location, and time. Police departments can then search the database during investigations.
