The Town of Manchester becomes the latest municipality in Connecticut to end ties with Flock license plate reading cameras.
The Manchester Board of Directors voted 5-4 Tuesday night to terminate the town's relationship with Flock Safety and remove all 18 of its automated license plate reader cameras before December 31, 2026.
The cameras will be covered until then.
Most people who attended the meeting were largely opposed to the cameras based on privacy concerns, but some did voice support for their ability to track alleged criminals in police investigations.
Windsor, Killingworth, and Ledyard moved to end their Flock cameras. Milford is another town that is weighing whether to remove the cameras after heated meetings in town in recent months.
