Greenville getting Flock cameras to help track crime GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Big brother may be watching you even closer as Greenville will soon deploy Flock cameras around the city. Police say 10 cameras will be put at strategic locations to help solve crimes, locate missing people, and enhance public safety. The city already has a network of cameras that police use to help with their crime-solving efforts. Flock cameras are maintained by a private company that records license plates and vehicle locations, which are made available to law enforcement. WITN asked about 15 people in downtown Greenville if they were in favor of police adding the 10 new cameras. Nine of them, including Greenville resident Karen Mills, do not want them. “You know, you want to catch the bad guys, but at the same time, privacy is becoming a privilege instead of a right,” said Mills. However, six of the fifteen support the new Flock cameras. “I would think the pros definitely outweigh the cons since everything is computerized nowadays,” said Rhonda McIntosh, who was visiting family in Greenville Thursday. “We carry a phone that tracks us,” she explained. In April, Pitt County Schools okayed the installation of two Flock cameras on two of their campuses, Wellcome Middle School and Chicod School, after a request from the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office. While the cameras have drawn criticism from some over privacy concerns, Greenville police say the technology has already helped solve crimes in the region. We asked Police Chief Richard Tyndall if he believes the cameras are at least tiptoeing the line of too much surveillance. “No, I don’t think so,” Tyndall said. “As an example, we have access to over 1,000 cameras in the city right now. We, as a department, have used this technology in the past.
