Surveillance Camera Deactivation
Summary
Manitowoc is turning off its city-owned Flock surveillance cameras downtown. That means less video monitoring in the area—good news for privacy-minded residents, but a loss for anyone who saw the cameras as a crime-fighting tool. The city hasn’t spelled out exact savings or how public safety will adjust.
