Flock Camera System Put Back Up, Despite Camden County Ban

Published

on

In a twist to the story, as of 1:09 PM on January 16, 2024, a truck was spotted on the scene reinstalling another camera to the same pole from which Commisoner Skelton is alleged to have removed the previous one, indicating a quick response by either the state department or possibly Flock Group to reinstate their surveillance equipment.,

– Camden County Presiding Commissioner Ike Skelton finds himself at the center of a legal storm after reportedly taking down a license plate reader (LPR) system installed by Flock Group, Inc., on Highway 54 near D-Road. The incident, which has sparked a debate over privacy versus public safety, occurred just days ago, leading to an ongoing investigation by local authorities.

According to reports, Skelton was observed by a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper in the act of removing the surveillance equipment from its pole. The trooper immediately notified both the Camden County Sheriff’s Office and the Highway Patrol, prompting the latter to take charge of the investigation. This action follows a contentious ordinance passed by the Camden County Commission in January 2024, which banned all automated license plate readers within the unincorporated areas of the county, citing concerns over privacy and potential violations of constitutional rights.

Skelton, an advocate for limited government and individual liberty, has been vocal about his opposition to such surveillance technologies. His stance has previously led to public disputes, including a notable disagreement with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives over firearm permit information sharing. The recent incident with the LPR system is seen by some as an extension of his commitment to protecting residents’ privacy rights, while others view it as an overstep of authority.

The Flock camera in question was part of a study agreement with the Missouri Department of Public Safety, aimed at assessing the effectiveness of license plate reader technology in criminal investigations. Critics argue that these cameras are essential tools for law enforcement, enabling quick identification of stolen vehicles or vehicles associated with criminal activity. However, supporters of Skelton’s actions highlight the potential for misuse of such extensive surveillance capabilities, questioning the balance between security and personal freedoms.

The investigation continues without clear indications of whether charges will be filed. The legal implications could set a precedent for how local governments interact with state or private surveillance initiatives, especially in areas where local ordinances conflict with broader public safety efforts.

The Camden County Sheriff’s Office, alongside the Missouri Department of Public Safety, is expected to release more details as the investigation progresses. Meanwhile, the community remains divided, with debates on social media and local forums reflecting the broader national conversation about surveillance, privacy, and law enforcement’s role in modern society.
