- Evacuation and shelter-in-place orders are in effect in Big Sur as firefighters conduct backburning operations to control the Timber Fire, with Highway 1 closed near Andrew Molera State Park since 1 p.m. Thursday.

So because the fire, the backburning operation is going to go all the way down to Highway 1," said Brandon Smith, Commander for the Monterey County Sherriff's Office.

- Monterey County residents voiced concerns Tuesday about a proposed 10-year contract for Flock cameras, prompting the Board of Supervisors to delay its decision until next month.
The sheriff’s office is seeking the contract, which would cost $2.7 million and increase the number of cameras in unincorporated areas of the county from 63 to 103.
One resident raised constitutional concerns about the cameras.
“Our constitution requires a warrant for the police or government to search us, and all of these searches of every single innocent person who’s going through the intersection is a violation of the constitution in my opinion,” the resident said.
Another resident questioned the effectiveness of the cameras and raised security concerns.
“I don’t feel like there is any data supporting that it has reduced crime rates. I also feel that Flock has not adequately responded to legitimate concerns about security,” the re...
