This week, Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer announced she's calling for a vote at Monday's city council meeting to remove all Flock Safety cameras from the city — ending the contract with the company entirely. She says she heard clearly from residents that a moratorium wasn't enough. That announcement is the backdrop for our report. In this More to the Story episode, WNCW's Dylan Henson sat down with two law enforcement officers who use Flock cameras, to hear the case they make for the technology. Chances are you've driven past one without knowing it — a small camera, mounted near a road or parking lot entrance, reading your license plate and logging the time. In the past two years, they've gone up across western North Carolina and the Upstate of South Carolina. Here's part one — with Asheville Police technology supervisor James Wingo and Spartanburg County Sheriff Bill Rhyne.
