Texans' car insurance rises for Flock cameras

The Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority has allocated at least $30 million from this fee toward expanding the state's camera network, aiding law enforcement in investigations and recovery efforts. Critics raise privacy concerns, noting potential misuse and legislative efforts to limit surveillance, while officials emphasize the cameras' role in combating crime and aiding public safety.
