In Texas, a network of small cameras on metal posts has been installed in various locations, including big cities and rural areas. These cameras, produced by Flock Safety, use artificial intelligence to capture vehicle information, such as license plate numbers and descriptions. The collected data is uploaded to a large surveillance database, which can be accessed by law enforcement agencies that have contracted with the company.

This has raised concerns and sparked a growing backlash against the surveillance system. Further details about the cameras and the backlash are available from local news sources, including The Waco Bridge and The Texas Tribune, which provide more information on the issue and its implications.
