Dayton workers have placed bags over the city’s Flock cameras.

This follows the city’s suspension of use of its Flock cameras — a type of automatic license plate reader that generates data that can be accessed by departments all over the country — after realizing its data was being scanned for immigration reasons, in violation of city policy. A Dayton Daily News investigation found other area police departments allow their data to be accessed for immigration purposes.
