- Description
- In Maryland, there are 1,008 surveillance cameras (flock cameras) in operation, with the highest concentrations in Salisbury (72), Baltimore City (56), Frederick (44), Annapolis (38), and Hagerstown (24). MPT reporter Nancy Yamada interviews Senator Clarence Lam, who plans to introduce legislation during the next session to regulate these cameras, an initiative that appears to have bipartisan support. Retired Deputy Sheriff and Senator William Folden advocates for laws defining clear access protocols and usage rules. Questions remain about how long data is stored, who can access it, and whether the information could be improperly monetized by third-party vendors.
