Police used Flock cameras to catch teens accused of wrecking Flock cameras

Police in Missouri reportedly turned the network's own technology on the people accused of attacking it. Two teenagers are said to have been identified through Flock cameras after allegedly stealing and damaging Flock cameras on Halloween. The detail is a little too neat: a surveillance system that watched its own vandals. It also shows how far automated licence-plate and street readers now reach into ordinary small-town policing, where even a prank night can end up in the system's logs.
