1:36Now PlayingBarrow County authorities are investigating after vandals allegedly used a saw to cut down multiple Flock Safety license plate recognition camera poles and sever solar power equipment.
The vandalism is fueling an already heated debate over the cameras' use and privacy implications. An Atlanta News First investigation previously found that Flock camera data is stored for 30 days and shared across hundreds of external agencies.
Earlier this week, five Georgia officers were fired and a Greene County deputy was arrested for allegedly misusing the system. Damaging government-owned Flock cameras is a felony under Georgia law.
