Maroney Calls for a Flock Pause. His PAC Took Money From the Industry He’s Now Questioning.
Sen. James Maroney is now calling on our communities to pause new installations on Flock cameras. This comes on the heels of recent and well deserved community concerns over data privacy and surveillance. Over the past 8 years, Sen.
